Flying car is dumb, cost me black hood and hours in a stupid dungeon

[Logical Maneuver]

Just got the black hood, went to fast travel and was trapped so I hopped in my car, and crashed. Bye black hood, never even got to use you... I'm done with the game after that :|

Did it not autosave when you left the dungeon?

[wtfcorey]

If it was dumb, it would not appear in many of the Final Fantasy games.
Learn how to land :D

Not saving after leaving a dungeon that took hours to run was the stupid thing. Even without knowingly getting into a high-risk-of-game-over flying car you're not good at flying.

[Logical Maneuver]

I fly and land the car fine, the road is short as hell and it took off straight into a cliff. And no it did not auto save. The flying is not dumb, the car is, great reading comprehension their Corer. It's pointless on such a tiny map, with fast travel all over. So in this game the car is pretty pointless and stupid.

Flying in all the old Final Fantasy games had you exploring multiple continents, and it took off straight up like a VTOL. This one has you flying around like 20km* with only 1 single place making it useful, and that single place being rigged with a 100ft runway facing a cliff.

It's pretty stupid...

Yup, perfectly "fine".

Typically I don't really care because it doesn't matter but, if you're going to insult someone else's capability with written language please make sure to use the correct spelling of the homophone "there".

Most people see that and realize they should probably back up as far as possible to give themselves as much room as they can to take off. You only have yourself to blame if you ran into the cliff because you started too close.

I realized the issue myself and had plenty enough room to take off. Of course I then completely failed the landing on the road outside the restricted area and crashed into a game over.....

I simply reloaded the save I made before getting into the car to fly out and was more careful the second time. The same way I recover every time I crash the jet-car. That's because I realize it's pretty much the only way in the entire game to get a Game Over so I'm smart enough to save at the last possible point before getting into the deathtrap for a flight.

I do agree that it should have been an airship just like every other FF game but those are mostly story line items as well where it's required at certain points.

In FFXV there is no real story line requirement for flight so they decided to throw in something new in the spirit of the car upgrades. The problem being that the car only goes on the road so you definitely have to take off from and land on roads. The automatic game over was just to ensure people weren't simply flying off wherever and crash landing where they wanted to go then calling for a tow to leave.

honestly getting a neifhelm dreadnought would've been better and makes more sense then flying car

I know it would make more sense to have an airship style flier but the Regalia is the 5th "bro" in the bro-mance.

it be better if it stopped mid air, then landed directly where u said to land. its kinda stupid its tied to a fail state. its funny at first, til u fly by accident, try to land in a hurry, then crash n lose progress. should work like any other airship in FF... like ragnarok in FF8
