This is out of curiousity, but can someone explain the airships in the game to me that I saw in some of the previews? Like how do you get them and are they just used for traveling or can you use them as a weapon? I have been watching this cool live feed from the game Link and the game seems pretty sweet. I watched the feed for like 20 minutes, which is pretty sick considering I do not even own the game. It reminds me of Zelda64 in a weird sort of way.

The airship is 200 gil per ride. Some place you don't need to do anything special to do, but others you need a quest. Rank 5 gives you an airship pass tht goes between the towns. Some airships have monsters that spawn. There are also airships and ones that ride in the water.

I'm currently in Blizzard's WOW beta, and I have to say, the beta alone gives FFXI a run for it's money. It's going to be tough to keep up with WOW upon release. But before playing WOW FFXI was definatly my favourite MMO.

So you can't actually own an airship, it is like an NPC that transports you between towns?

There is an Airship port at every town. You ride on the ships along with many other people. The cool part is the scenery. During it's 10 minute or so ride, you can wander around.

Lol, you have to walk around on an airship for ten minutes. That is a long time to wait. Does look pretty cool though.

Whoops double posted.

It's much better than a half hour chocobo ride.
