Do you roam around forever right after you get the Airship?

Alright, so I was playing FF8 very recently, and I got the Ragnarok - then someone tells me to "head for Edea's house!!!onetwothree!!1" and I went screw it, I'm gonna fool about and do LOTS of other stuff first; and I flew to the desert and killed some scary Cactuars; and I got the GF Bahamut; and I ran around on those Islands and abused the Draw Points there - and so on.
Same with FF6, when I get the Airship I just fight Intangirs all day long, and I go shopping in every damn store in the world.
Same with all FF:s, really.
Do you recognize this? :cool:

I just flew around making silly noises.

Yeah, seriously. By the time I'm finished roaming I'll go like this "What meteor?"

I rlyrlyrly dislike missing out on spiffy stuff, so I roam around forever, because you never know when you can never return! And I don't look in walkthroughs until after I've beaten the game so I have to figure out most stuff myself, and it takes time I tell ya!

After I have done my errands, then I do whatever I want.

theres loads od sidequests and places to go and get secrets and level up but once you've got everything you just go where your supposed to go and you dont really feel like your wasting time doing tons of repetitive stuff.

the only game i felt i was just roaming around pountlessly was FF2. theres usually only one place to go to and very few side quests.

yeah. i guess you roam around a lot but its not exactly a bad thing.

i spend most of my time on exploration and training are present way before i get an airship. so yes.

It's not fun unless I get killed by something obscenely powerful when I wander off too far. ;)

Yes - Exploration is fun.

I like getting things ASAP, so I can completely dominate later. If I run into enemies that are too hard, I train so I can do it, get the items there, then leave. SO, when I get back to the main story, I'm too strong for my own good sometimes. But such is life.

THE JACKEL

Yeah,it's great to go wherever i want and explore.
It's what i'm currently doing in FFVII:)

Anyone who gets an airship for the first time in any FF game, and proceeds directly to advancing the story is missing out!

Airship: fuel price to players= 0 gil/$/whatever...take advantage, because those of us at driving age live in a very different world. :D

airships rock! especially in FFX. There's so many sidequests they take longer than the game itself:)

It's alot more fun when you actually get an Airship later on in the game, like in FFVII, VIII or IX rather than in the first couple of hours like the earlier Final Fantasy's.

In I you get it about half way through the game, II you can control it much later, III, IV and V I don't know, but in VI you get it about a third of the way through, lose it half way through, then find it again in the second half.

Yes, I always roam when I get the airship.

don't forget to go back into the Deep Sea Research Centre, and proceed past Bahamut, and go (SPOILER)through the ruins, and fight Ultima Weapon.;)
