I think it sounds cool, but really, really impractical. It raises more questions than it answers. It answers only one question: How your character carries around a bunch of weapons at the same time.
It raises several:
Did you character build this airship?
How does your character obtain the ceruleum necessary to power an airship for long periods of time?
Is it a manned airship? If so, how does your character keep this crew loyal when all they do is just follow you around to carry weapons?
If it is not manned, is your character a magitek genius, essentially Nikolai Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, Charles Babbage, and Alan Turing rolled into one? Then they should be commended for creating the first true AI in Eorzea.
If no, is your character a magical prodigy akin to Merlin, Gandalf (actually flying war machines seem more like Saruman's thing), and Dumbledore? Then they should be commended for making an airship golem.
If no to the last two questions, how did they come by these wonderous things?
Do the weapons come down on little parachutes so that they don't break?
Is your character actually David Hasselhoff, because having an AI vehicle buddy is freaking AWESOME?!
Doing things like this, you have to ask these kinds of questions, and then once you have all of those answers, you have to ask yourself if there is support for this in the material you're pulling from.
These are the outcomes that I can see happening.
1. You come up with satisfactory answers for your questions and determine that there is justification in canon, in which you go for it.
2. You come up with satisfactory answers, but feel that it is too much of a stretch for the canon, and you don't go for it.
3. None of the answers you come up with are satisfactory, regardless of their canon status, and you don't go for it.
4. AI AIRSHIP BUDDY WHO CARES?! You decide to Rule of Cool it, and go for it. Haters to the left.
I hope that was helpful.
