    Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    I was going to keep it between the main airships, but I think I can add others.

    Me, being a fan obviously, I am going with Ragnarok.
    Not only is the max speed 11.8, which is enough to send a rocket to outer space, it also has 609mm Charged Particle Cannon, 152mm Multi-barreled Laser (x2), Retractable mandible 'claws' (x2).

    It also can go from a complete stop to a directional pull in a fraction of a second. And the obvious fact that it can fly in space.

    And it's too bad, there are to other models with different modifications, but we never get to see them totally.

    SUre, the FF12 airships are fast as hell too, and agile, but you are putting a charged partical cannon on somthing that can go from a complete standstill, to the second cosmic speed in a fraction of a second!

    Your pathetic existence will shut down. I will make your lives end in ruin. Fear me, as you fear death. Not a threat, not a promise, but what must be finished. 7 final arcs...

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    I think the obvious best airship is the Lunar Whale from FFIV. That thing is not only huge it has navigational systems, a crystal power that transports you to and from the moon, a place to rest, a giant chocobo to hold your items (excluding the DS version).

    It also features built-in 100" plasma screen tv, hi def speakers, built-in wifi, the latest apple computer that runs current mac software, PS3/360/Wii, Satellite, crew service (works like room service but on a ship), and fully functional restrooms! i'm just kidding BUT ANYWAYS... yeah the Lunar Whale pretty much beats all other airships.

    LOL haha.
    Well, it probably can match the speed of the Ragnarok, unless the crystals give it the power.
    Oh, the Ragnarok is meant for 32 people, which I suposed matches the Lunar Whale.
    But here is a big difference. Fire power and mobility.

    The Catapult!

    FFV.

    I for some reason really like that airship. It can go to high altitudes, turn into a submarine, and it's a Battleship.

    The Invincible from FFIX would probabaly be the victor here. It can go into space flay at high speeds and can interact with the pilots own power. It has nuking capabilities and it can control minds as well as being alive too.

    No need to go into space. FFIV had more space time. FFVIII was like, oh you in space, here's space, here's a Spaceship that is slow when not in space. Never go back to Space.

    As far as the Invincible, I prefer the original version, FFIII because it's just an early version of the Lunar Whale, without the space travel.

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    I don't really know the specs of all airships including firepower and seating capacity but by preference alone:

    The Blackjack (FFVI)

    First its a flying casino, cool and unique. Its one of the only Airships in its world with passenger and long range capabilities (Flacon was buried during the majority of its life and the Empire only had small one-manned or possibly AI controlled short range copters). And the best part is its owner, Setzer, aside from his horrible albino, carpet salesmen, water-colored Amano art there is nothing I don't like about this character. The music (Setzers) is also awesome and fitting for the wonder of flying in a unique airship in a not-yet ruined world.

    Based on Power and Capabilities:

    Invincible (FFIX)

    basically for things people have already mentioned. Fire power enough to destroy whole cities and possibly more, it is space-worthy, high speeds, cloaking abilities (hides in storm clouds, can be misidentified as a destroying eye) and probably more I can't remember.
    Playstaion ID: Setzer_All-in

    - "Phoenix Downs are your friends. But remember Cloud they don't always work. I'm looking at yooou Aeris"

    I don't know but, I don't think the invincible counts in the same category of "airship", being it has animate powers.

    The Blackjack from FFVI. It's got a cool theme, someone that restores your health for you, someone that will unequip your party members you're not currently using, a shop and even though you can't use it, a casino.

    FFIX's Invincible, I love that shizzle xD

    But for pure nostalgia, i'd go with the Highwind, I know it's boring, but I love the music while you're flying it xD

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    I gotta go with the Ragnarok because of it's incredible capabilities but also the really cool look. Second would be the Lunar Whale because, even if they both have space capability and cool stuff, LW just looks big and bulky and not as cool. I gotta say I love FFXII and I really liked Balthier's character, but the Strahl is just a repackaged Millennium Falcon just like Balthier is just a repackaged Han Solo...

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    Hmm, there are a F%ck-$hi7-Stack of awesome airships in Final Fantasy games but which is my favorite?

    I suppose I'd have to go with...(Original Answere for the win!)... The airship that you fight on in the last level of Final Fantasy Tactics' Airship Graveyard. It made me think that I had somehow teleported into the deep sands of the desert from FFI. (I always thought the two ships looked similar)

    I was neverendingly impressed by the Catapult though, it's a sub and a ship... Madness...

    The lunar whale did have it's own legened... That is cirtainly worth mentioning. Plus, the damn thing totally trumps all the other airships you get on FFIV. (Seriously, like 3 or 4 ships in one game? WTF)

    The ragnarok had guns, but little else. From a crazy-futuristic place like Eshtar, I'd expect more. (Why even use a ship for space travel? They have a giant gun that can shoot you into space! Much prefered route of travel. )

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    I have to agree and like the BlackJack from FF6. I like the simplicity of the older ships that are made out of wood and not steel.

    I also like the Theater Ship from FF9.

    I've always been a fan of the Ragnarok. It looks awesome, and has a canon in the dragons mouth, along with working claws on the front.
    You'll have your reward for finding me, and don't think of running off without collecting. My shot is faster, or my names not Balthier.

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    So my earlier post was a vote for FFVI's Blackjack, but after playing FFIX again, I remember how awesome the Invincible was. From the design to it's importance in the whole story to it's speed when you get it and fly it. It's like twice as fast as the Hilda Garde you had before this one.

    The Invincible takes my vote as favorite now.

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    Favorite airship....hmm that is a tough one, though I'm surprised no one said the highwind, though I guess compared to other airships, it kind of fails. I'd have to go with the Ragnorak, I hope I spelt that correctly , and no it can't go into space.....or maybe it can because didn't we get the airship from space? Anyways, sure it can't go underwater, but did you see what it did to enter pandora's tower, it shot lasers through the walls and then clawed its way into it like a freaking dragon, and that's just awesome. So that's my answer

    Re: Which FF airship is the overall Best?

    Can't say i've seen all the different kinds of airships, but i think Cid's airship from FFVII is my personal favourite. I can't remember how many times i woke up on a weekend morning, switched on the console and loaded my game with the characters all inside that airship. It was like we were all waking up together on board that airship.

    Plus, you could carry chocobos on there! xD
