Final Fantasy has featured many concepts that, after being introduced, have ended up becoming permanent fixtures. And one of the most prominent has to be the Airship.
After being introduced within the original Final Fantasy, Airships have become mainstays. But even though that may be the case, their function has changed greatly over the years, as has their design.
So sit back and enjoy, as we take you on a lengthy ride to explore The Complete Evolution of Airships.

i miss classic airships. manual flight and exploration is so much fun

@Toadaboticus Год назад

I always loved the airships that had rooms and areas you could explore. The Blackjack being probably the best with the casino setting and party members hanging out.

@joshshrum2764 Год назад

Though storing a chocobo in the highwind is pretty cool, and cute heh.

XIV also has Manacutters: 1-person airships that the player earns as a mount during Heavensward.

@ultimatecalibur Год назад

The Manacutter was one of FFXIVs first few flying mounts (the Black Chocobo was the first with the other Chocobos getting flight after completing a quest) before everything was made to fly. There are also several other mounts based on Airships: the Falcon (named after the airships in FF4/FF6 and loosely based on the later), Lunar Whale (based on the FF4 airship artwork of the same name), Cruise Chaser (based on the spaceship/robot Cruise Chaser Blasty and FF9's Ark based on the former) and Gloria-class Airship (based on the FF11 airships) and the Regalia Type-G (from FF15).

@bardinblue9830 Год назад

You didn't forget about the M.S. Prima Vista that belonged to Baku and the Tantalus players at the beginning of Final Fantasy 9, did you?! That's the one that Zidane starts in!! Sure, it didn't take the party anywhere except to Alexandria and the forest that would later be petrified... but it was Zidane's home, and it featured a stage for Zidane and friends to perform on!

@gorimbaud Год назад

They said in the video that the party used numerous airships throughout the story, but the two they discussed were the only ones that were player-controlled. So, they didn't forget the Prima Vista, it was just outside the parameters of what they were talking about.

@viviflam Год назад

One of the things I miss most about classic FF is getting an airship and flying around the overworld. I like modern FF but just having a location select screen (10, 12) or not having access to an airship at all (13) has been a real downer. 15 was a step in the right direction I guess, but oh lord was that thing hard to control (and you didn't get it until post-game). One of my wishes for 16 was that we'd get to fly an airship but seeing how the world is gonna be like 12 I won't be getting my hopes up (oh well, I love 12 so I'm not that upset).

@Forever_Zero Год назад

Happy to see Final Fantasy hasn't abandoned airships after all this time, and I respect FFXV for making the Regalia with manual controls instead of just a cutscene like the previous games were doing

I always felt like the FFX airship was like a full airship version of Balamb Garden. Love how distinct the design is. Great video.

@pieaholicx Год назад

Don't know about the original SNES version, but you could actually rest in the FF5 airship, just in a convoluted way. If you turned it into a submarine, then entered an underwater cave, you could move about inside which included a lower level for resting.

@ThomasMHead Год назад

It's obvious that the Enterprise is named in honor of Star Trek. But I'm embarrassed that it took me something like 25 years to realize that the Falcon is named because of Star Wars' Millennium Falcon!! 😅

@Brahmsonite Год назад

In Final Fantasy 5 when the airship was in submarine mode if you deported in an underwater cave you could technically take a nap. In Final Fantasy 6 one of Setzer's Slots results had an aerial bombardment from the airship. In Final Fantasy 14 at least one of your mounts is presented as a single occupant airship.

@RaynmanPlays 4 месяца назад

The Prima Vista's escape from Alexandria and the arrival at Lindblum are two of the most iconic airship scenes in the FF series. Honestly, FFIX is full of stunning moments, including and especially moments involving airships.

@azulleth9401 Год назад

The Ragnarok will always be my favourite airship/spaceship because it would be classed as a grappler ship like the XGP from the Outlaw star anime, both of these spaceships are awesome.

@jezixhylus3370 Год назад

Idk if it’s really worth mentioning, but for a time, the FC airships in FFXIV could also be used to transport players to the original version of Diadem, the area later being removed for a time, released later without said travel, then later revamped again as as place for gatherers to collect items needed for The Firmament.

@matthagen67 Год назад

Airships, just like so many other sci-fi elements of the original FF, were clearly inspired by the film "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" by Studio Ghibli. I've rewatched the original version with English subtitles quite recently, and I can confirm that even the same name, "hikoutei" (flying boat), is used when the characters refer to the movie's airship Goliath.

@josephsilberstein1577 Год назад

yes indeed. Airships and Chocobos are both in the Nausicaa Valley of the Wind movie from 1984. the movie was so successful they went on to form Studio Ghibli. their first movie as Studio Ghibli proper was Castle in the Sky in 1986.

@Azuris190 Год назад

Had to look up what an actual real life Ariship (Zeppelin) is called in Japan, Hikosen 飛行船 (flying ship). Wouldn't it be more acurate?As those look more like Ships and not Boats :D

@Aussie_Tom Год назад

Airships are a huge aspect of the franchise I absolutely adore. One of the biggest highlights to any Final Fantasy game for me is when I first discover the games airships. I've LOVE to see a Final Fantasy with a similar premise to Skies of Arcadia, where airships are a major focus for both story and gameplay.

@thegreatgrapehippo1614 Год назад

There are also a couple a pretty cool airship mounts in FFXIV as well. In game you can get a small personal airship built to transport one person, an even littler one that's build to be able to deploy wheels and roll cross the ground like a motorcycle, and, I think I've even seen a tiny airship being ridden like a hoverboard. The Lunar Whale is even in the cash shop

I just realized the Dragon Quest serie really goes out of its way not to give you proper Airship (the Airship equivalent generally being some kind of flying legendary being instead). It's so interesting how the same basic idea can be implemented on so many different ways

“Let’s make sure history never forgets the name… _Enterprise.”_ And from there, like her Star Trek namesake, she would become a recurring presence via many incarnations in Final Fantasy, as would the _Falcon_ and the _Invincible._

@lopirobinson1991 Год назад

Ragnarok was the dopest airship, 8 not even being my favorite game (though it's up there). Such a bad ass looking craft. I used to prolong play just to fly around and fight things.

@GCJACK83 Год назад

I think FFXI has the best airships. You can actually see the engine rooms and walk around on the decks to check out how they work exactly.

Nothing was as rad as acquiring the airship in FFI. I'll never forget it, and now it's such an awesome event in most FFs. FFXV airship was lame. More like airshit. Was too hard to land that bad boy. Any FF without an airship is an FF I'm not stoked on.

@gadol6971 Год назад

Just because some people weren't happy with the way airships were presented in newer final fantasies doesn't mean we need to diminish the role airships played in them completely. Only 30 seconds were spent covering their role in FFXIII. There couldn't be any mention the Palamecia? An entire chapter takes place on it. Or Sazh's actual profession as an airship pilot?

@georgehouliaras7239 Год назад

I like how every FF had Airships is some form, some being more techonoligal, other being more classic and then there is FF4. Lunar Whale: Space. Wanna go to Space? Spaaaaaceeee.

@megamanfan3 Год назад

It should be noted that the Mario series was also inspired by Final Fantasy by including airships starting with Super Mario Bros. 3.

@jesseberg3271 Год назад

Balam Garden is much more an "airship" than the Ragnarok. It actually looks like a ship.

@IIGrayfoxII 6 месяцев назад

FFIX also pays homage to the previous airships in Final Fantasy. At Olivert, you get to see 4 ships get mentioned 1: First Airship 2: Ship of War 3: Invincible Prototype, Prototype Failure 4: Warship Invincible:Currently in Use Pretty sure that the ships you see are the ones from earlier games. And since Olivert, and the Ipsens Castle are from Terra and the merger failed 5,000 years ago. That implies that the Invincible is 5,000 years old which points to Terran technology being much more advanced than Gaian technology

@InimicalWit Год назад

I loved gaining access to the airships, but I even more loved how “grounded” FFXI was. I lament Home Point Crystals being turned into teleport crystals, because the need to actually travel between locations represented much of the charm for that game, to me; relying on other players (via the 6 Teleport spells in white magic, and Warp 2 from black magic, or even Escape) to assist in travel. Indeed, traveling in groups with friends, or happenstance with strangers, in the airship or one of the many boats/ships, was also a lot of that charm. Now, it’s all but gone, with the teleport crystals.

@Wylyth-nr3hq 10 месяцев назад

I think you should have also included airship type mounts in your section on Final Fantasy XIV, such as the Manacutter you get in the Heavensward MSQ.

@experience_point6233 Год назад

We haven't had a pilotable airship in the mainline series since IX. 😭And no, I don't consider that trash car transformation in XV as airship. I really hope XVI will have them but I doubt it. Funny how with all the advancements in technology we can't have pilotable airships, something that was common for the series in the 90s nor the world maps for that matter.

@ICountFrom0 Год назад

Was really hoping you'd at least mention the existance of the cut content in the first final fantasy game, wherein there WAS a Cid, and the airship was his. Due to limitations for space and time, instead you just got the floatstone and suddenly airship in the desert, instead of the planned giant robotic themed tower. Also of note the Warmech was originally guarding the airship, instead of an easter egg encounter.

@tacklebox_82 Год назад

I still don’t understand how they land in fields yet not in water. Forest and mountain terrain I understand, but it’s literally a flying boat. Great video as usual.
