Flying Mounts?

[Arlan]

I'm Sorry OP... the community here are a punch of Fanboys/noobs who don't know what's best half of the time.

I think SE needs to be MORE "CREATIVE" and come up with different mounts and ways of traveling other than sticking with "Chocobos" Onry. This game lacks creativity and those who praise the uncreative aspects of the game such as "Chocobos Mounts onry" are simply dumb fanboys...

While I'm at it, another thing this game truly lacks is how the "Armors" look.
Majority of the low/high lvl armor looks like the same armor you see but sometimes different color with different names. Makes no Sense, give us new designs for each armor not same designs with reskinned models... Soo.. UnCreative..

Also, Crabs, Worms, Crabs, Rabbits, Crabs, Fairies, Crabs, Demons, Crabs, ETC. seriously?
How come majority of the monsters are the SAME and only have different names!? RESKIN DOESN'T COUNT!
I want to see new models not just new names and status...

Names and Status means Nothing when everything looks and feels visually the same.

New pets, new armor designs, New monsters with different models and NOT same Models of reskinn crap that we have already seen before!

WE NEED SE TO BE CREATIVE PPL,
Thumbs Up for OP!

I like your signature. I don't know why anyone would say flying mounts are crap or "go back to WoW" because I asked this question. Flying mounts are fun in WoW and eliminate a huge time sync in that game. I noticed someone mention all the different possible ways to teleport in this game. What they didn't mention is how much time it takes to get access to all those different teleports especially when most of them are from dead content. I think if we had access to something like flying mounts at any given time without it make things that much easier and eliminate a huge time sync for us all. I really don't see what is the problem with that.

The reason I bring this up is because the other day I was doing VW Zilart path and had to walk from OP to sky to find other party members. Someone got pissed at me because I was taking to long, and I was just thinking if I had a flying mount I could have got there that much faster.

Alot of people here hate on WoW but to me one thing Blizzard really got right with that game is that it can be fun. I love FF XI but I think SE could take some more ideas from Blizzard and make things that much better.

Abyssea warp is dead content? Outpost warp is dead content? Teleport earrings are cheap and easy to make, if you don't have synergy leveled then I'm sure it's possible to find someone to make them for you. Only thing that can be tricky, is vwnm warps, since you need to actually do vwnm (and win) to gain access to those. But before vwnm was introduced into the game, I could still count the times I needed to use a chocobo in a month on one hand. I feel SE has done just about everything possible to make travel as easy as possible for us.

And even if flying "mounts" were added to the game just for uhh... creativity and fun - how long would that be fun for? I'm thinking it's a lot of work for the devs for something that the majority of people won't be using after the novelty wears off.

How do players seriously not have the bloody sky warp in 2011?

Heh, I didn't even think of sky warp - but yeah, only reason not to have it now is sheer laziness, and that is a poor excuse.

And if you've done CoP, you have Tavnazian Ring, and you can also teleport and go via Al'Taieu.

[Soranika]

If all these forms of warps make travel by chocobo and airships irrelevant, why is there a serious discussion about this?

Most of the warps work independently of whatever is "alive content" at any given time. Nowadays you don't even need to wait for your own nation to get rare OP warps, you can just change to whatever nation holds the region any given week, and get it, then have it carry over to your original nation when you change back.

Can you get every single OP warp in one week? Probably not. Can you 90% of the OP warps you'll be using on a regular basis over the course of two weeks? Unless you were incredibly unlucky, yes.

Quests for warps to aht urhgan can be done at any time you wish too, without help from anyone.

I think you don't know the meaning of the word "creative" if your idea of creativity is to blatantly rip off another game.

In a day and age where nearly every MMO out there is trying to be a WoW clone, one of the few things FFXI has going for it is that it's NOT WoW. Why would you want to ruin that?

Clearly originality is uncreative.
