What could have been...

[Wolf Kanno]

So I'm going through old interview archives when I stumble upon this little gem...

RPGFan News - Yasumi Matsuno Talks Final Fantasy XII

The part I find most intriguing (and the topic of this thread) was the fact the game was once going to have interactive airship battles. Any thoughts? Memories of Skies of Arcadia? Do you think it would have helped or hindered the game?

P.S. And for the love of god let's not reduce this to a "Squeenix needs to bring back airships and the world map!" cause we already have like three of these types of threads in the FFXII forums and I know we have a recent one in the General FF forums.:rolleyes2
