Airships have been revealed for the MMO Final Fantasy XIV Online, in the most recent Letter from the Producer post on the game’s official forum.

Speaking to forum members, producer Naoki Yoshida stated the development team is currently working to finish the new airships, set to be included with patch 1.19.

“We’re firing on all cylinders heading into the next patch, and there’s been some late nights and weekends spent here at the office. The encouragement we’ve been receiving on the forums has us doing everything we can to get things done.”

He added that the team is also working to include chocobo mounts: “Sorry for the long wait, but they’re finally coming to Eorzea in 1.19, together with chocobo mounts, to help make travelling around the realm more enjoyable. Ride a “horsebird” to get wherever you need to go by land, or book passage on an airship to fly the quickest routes between Ul’dah, Gridania, and Limsa. Airship voyages themselves will take only mere seconds, though there will be sweet little cutscenes accompanying departures and arrivals.”

It was recently announced that the upcoming patch will also be dropping character levelling, and instead focus on class levelling. There is no date yet given for its arrival.
