Not needed necessarily. The problem being that it hasn't been confirmed or stated in any kind of way that there are any controllable airships we can use in this game. It's always been a pivotal moment in FF games when you got control of an airship , and after you've been through so much in the story.   It would be extremely disappointing if airships can't be controlled in FFXV because SE has more than enough power and resources to make this possible.  They would be consciously denying us this, almost out of spite if use of airships weren't in it.  Given the director as well who allowed airship use in Type 0, and whom is putting the demo of FFXV with Type 0, there's no reason based on artistic vision, budget or logistics why this can't be done.

I know I'm making a big deal of this, but that's because it is.  This isn't just some vehicle that you can so easily get inside a GTA game whether it be a plane, awesome fast car or fighter jet.  Flying an airship in a FF game invokes such an incredible sense of uplifting freedom and power through the soundtrack and just seeing yourself travel the world to any destination quickly .  There's nothing like it.

My feelings as well. FF has become Sonic to me. If it goes back to pre FF12 days? I'm on bored. Otherwise...nope.
