Favorite 'airship' in a game?

You know, why this
is better then this?
Because the airships from FFVII doesn't look over designed. This thing looks practical and a prototype. You feel like it is barley holding together and to old to actually work. This ariship is such a stupid idea, that's why there is only one of it in the world and you freaking own it! The airship in FFVIII rises the question, why aren't there more air-ships in the world?

There are.
3 Ragnaroks exist in VIII's world, but they're all exclusively the product of Esthar technology which far surpasses that of the other nations and pretty much served one purpose before their crew were killed by aliens. Lunatic Pandora is also an airship, as are all the Gardens, though Trabia is destroyed before it gets the chance to activate.
VII has helicopters and planes
(and a rocket)

The Mario 3 airships are pretty cool.

Lunar Whale IV life.
My pick as well. It was so cool to see this game tap into that "ancient advanced tech" angle with an interplanetary-traveling vessel.
My second pic.Definitely the Delphinus from Skies of Arcadia.

This one. Great music when you're flying it too.

Came looking for this. There is no other airship.

If you're expanding the scope beyond actual airships, and include other modes of transportation, my secret favourite one is Seiken Densetsu 3's Booskaboo. That thing is just so silly. I can't help but smile whenever I see him. I love you, man.
Came here to say Ragnarok from FF8, but now I have to go with Booskaboo

Didn't even know that airships appeared outside of Final Fantasy games. For me, it goes to Hilda Garde 3 from Final Fantasy IX.

No mention of the Great Fox? I'm disappointed in this thread.
edit: It counts as an airship because half the time it's in atmosphere with you.

Do you remember how you escaped from Valua in the Little Jack before the doors could close on you?
Well, later on in the game, you end up being captured and imprisoned in the grand fortress. While you're making your escape you run into Enrique, the prince of Valua, at the harbor. He joins up with you, and gives you his flagship, the Delphinus, which is easily as powerful as one of the Gigas.
In the delphinus, you realize that the Valuan Grand Fortress has been shut. You blast a hole in the valuan grand fortress using the Delphinus's Moonstone Cannon, and escape through the hole you blew in the fortress. The entire ship fleet of the kingdom of Nasrad could not breach the fortress, and you make it out with one ship and one blast. As the player, you now realize that you possess the greatest ship in the in-game universe, the most powerful ship of the most powerful empire in the game's world, and the only one of its kind, and there's nothing the antagonists can do about it. And you still have half of the game to complete.
It's an awesome moment.
It's still pretty much porn today. So good.
While not airships you get yourself, the Panzer Dragoon series has just the best ones imo. Everything from the empires standard war machines to things like Mel Kava, Shellcoof or Grig Orig (from where I borrow my avatar). Plus that industrious chugging sound they make is both ominous and awesome.

That is a spaceship that occasionally flies within the atmosphere. Definitely not a proper airship.
FF8 Ragnarok
I think choosing between these two would be like choosing between children. Both great airships in very different ways.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Go home thread, your drunk.
Can't believe no one posted the Epoch at all.
Not only will this take you anywhere.. it'll take you anywhen!

Came to post this. It's the first airship that I thought of after reading the thread title. Really loved the dragon style of it.
It's been mentioned by 2 people already. I agree though... that's one for my list too.

Its funny, I came here to post this and I sincerely didn't think other people (if any) would post it. I love this ship. And I love that so many other gaffers love it too. So many fond memories associated with this ship.
I also really liked the airship in jade empire. It's much simpler and not as cool, but I have a lot of fond memories of that one too. Maybe it was because of the mini game associated with it. Such a great game.II'm still mad that Xbox owners didnt support it enough to warrant a sequel or franchise.

was epoch really an 'airship'? well i guess you use it to move between times, but its not like you can use it to fly around the world (or can you?)
was disappointing that the only mode 7 flying the world in the epoch was during the credits.

Came into this thread just to post this. I'm glad someone else understands this airship's greatness.

Ahh, my bad. I was just scrolling down the threads for pics and didn't see any.
My 2nd would be Setzer's from FF6, and also I always loved the opening of FF12 for the '... and airships plied the skies' line from the narrator and the corresponding images.

Came to post this, shame it took 3 pages for someone to post this.
Yeesh... you didn't even read my post in this thread. This was mentioned on the first page by someone. ><

I have to go with the Highwind. While the design isn't the most badass the captain is.

uh guys, that's not Little Jack. It's either Vyse's dad's ship, the Albatross or the un-named ship that Vyse commands at the end of the game.
This is the Little Jack. Remember the enormous harpoon?
