when i say airship, i mean any kind of transportation vehicle you get long term (pretty common trope in jrpgs but other genres have there's).


i liked skies of arcadia's, but it loses points because you can get in random encounters, bah.


ill go with Van Eltia from Tales of Eternia.

got full explorable inners, and can be upgradeable with different stations, a sub, and a plane. It also is used to

Spoiler

travel between 2 worlds.

, and it has a yamato style beam cannon.

hits all the buttons for me.

I loved the ones from Bioshock Infinite, fantastic design.

 

[RagnarokX]

FF8 Ragnarok

 

[BouncyFrag]

Haven't encountered many but Ni No Kuni's was great.

[Soriku]

You can avoid random encounters in SoA by going into the clouds.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I was really hoping I was coming into a Guns of Icarus thread.

I liked all the airships in FF9.

wuuuut whats this? Never got this far in arcadia before my gcn disk died for no reason :X

 

[whiteninja]

The Talon from Final fantasy legend 3,
It attacks enemies.
It travels through time.
It has changeable parts.
It can restore your health.
It looks like a freakin stealth bomber!

 

[Toxi]

This is such a fucking cool ship.

Look at all this shit I got.

I got my buttons on the left, my buttons on the right.

I got my high-five machine.

I even got this shit, and I have no idea what it does other than send me faxes in Japanese.

I even pimped it out with a bobblehead!

 

[Raab]

The Hilda Garde 3!

 

[lordy88]

The Delphinus

Wouldn't those guns hit that fin dead on?

 

[DJIzana]

Obvious answer for me the "Setzer" from Final Fantasy Type-0. Combat airship + named after an amazing character in FFVI!

Runner up is easily the Skyrunner in Earthbound. Wasn't something you could control but hot damn... the music...

One and done. Was the first thing to come to mind.

That isn't an airship.

Although technically it also functions as an airship in addition to being a spaceship.

 

[tokyostomp]

Since it has YET to be mentioned,

The SSV Normandy of Mass Effect.

 

[Exentryk]

Balamb (FF8)

 

[chickdigger802]

Since it has YET to be mentioned,

The SSV Normandy of Mass Effect.

completely forgot about the normandy. loved opening and closing the blast doors in the cockpit and other little things.

shame the actual flying around and mining is such a bore. Really wish they made a full space sim in the ME universe.

I didn't bother reading the OP because I thought the title was self explanatory, maybe this thread needs a title change...

 

[terrisus]

In general, I like games far more before getting the inevitable airship than I do afterwards.

I like wandering around and exploring on the ground, but once one has an airship, it's usually just "Fly wherever you want, land where you want, and hop out at your destination"


That said, the Epoch in Chrono Trigger is pretty nifty.

 

[Reishiki]

Good to see the Ragnarok and Delphinus already covered.

 

[Arcayne]

FF8 Ragnarok

Yup. The designing that went into this was amazing. I was blown away when I was younger, and am still blown away today.

 

[NeoCross]

Definitely Ragnarok from FFVIII.

 

[Zeppeli]

Skybreaker

 

[Megatron]

Flammie from Secret of Mana!

It's the theme that really sells it for me.

 

[spindashing]

Classic.

 

[GCX]

Even though Delphinus is cool I still like the good old Little Jack too from Skies of Arcadia:

 

[potam]

Final Fantasy: The Thread

 

[super-famicom]

The Blackjack from FF VI.

It has a casino inside! And a guy who will heal you for free!

 

[raven777]

FF8 Ragnarok

This. I love the design of Ragnarok in FFVIII.

 

[Wyndstryker]

It's also a pretty powerful weapon.

 

[BeerSnob]

There are other good airships, but this is the goodest.

As always gaf beat me to it now I got to think of something obscure..

 

[Lucreto]

Ragnarok

Epic name and in the shape of a dragon. What more can you ask for.

 

[Giolon]

The Delphinus

YEEEESSSSS. I literally could not believe that they were giving me such an amazing ship so (relatively) early into the game. It seems like end-game content right there.

i liked skies of arcadia's, but it loses points because you can get in random encounters, bah.

Did you forget the part where the Delphinus can fly above or under the top and bottom of the world cloud areas to avoid random battles? Because the ship you had before that couldn't do that.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I'd prefer to travel in a tin can helicopter than a stupid flimsy airship.

[NotSelf]

Ok here you go.

 

[midramble]

Final Fantasy is a goldmine for this.

FF6's Blackjack was always a classic and I always loved Ragnarok and Balamb Garden itself from FF8, but the homely feeling of FF9's Hilde Garde III and the Theatre ship Prima Vista seal the deal for my all time favorite game Airships.

Guns of Icarus has some pretty nice airships as well.

 

[Raonak]

Ragnarok from ff8. It's shaped as a fucking dragon, it saves your ass floating in space and the cutscene of it assaulting the litany Pandora was too epic.

Balamb garden was cool too.
