Ok...every FF game up until X allowed you to fly your airship around the overworld. When X came out, many fans (as I know) where very aggravated that you couldn't fly your airship and had to select out of a list of destinations.

Sadly, and unfortunately I had hoped that Square had learned their lesson and done something more interactive with XII. Again, I'm very disappointed. They find it necessary to put the most pointless cutscene of the Strahl taking off and nothing else when you board the damn thing.

What does everyone else think about not being able to fly your airship yourself?
I think it completely defeats the purpose of having one there in the first place.
