Oh, by the by.
Did I mention how much I hate the boat? Because I really, really hate the boat. I hate it even more when I remember the enjoyment I received out of the boat in Final Fantasy XI. It's sort of a case of "You don't know what you had until it is gone", but that also added something to the atmosphere.
-The monsters that could spawn on deck. They gave you something to do, or even run from.
-The nice, relaxing 13 or so minutes of watching the sea, listening to the music (this new boat music is, pardon my french, fucking dildos), fishing.
-The pirates that could potentially attack your boat ride.
-Sea. Freaking. Horror.
-Being able to actually just hang on the pier, instead of being forced to auto-board (auto-running against the dock did just fine 99.9% of the time to board when the boat arrived if you were afk, thank you).
This boat? This is just a freaking barge with a lower deck. The music is so melodramatic for such a boring boat ride I want to heave, and not from being sea sick.
So. Yeah. There's another case of atmosphere ruined between the two games. Just my opinion, of course.

A friend to the end to depend on you can.
I walk through the sea, swim through the sands.
To the edges of the earth, to your rescue when you hurt,
Only thing I learnt is I'm not Superman.
