I thought it's also been stated in many games that chocobos do not have the capability of flight.

I mean... dem wings....

Black Chocobo's, in a couple of games, had the ability to fly. FF IV and V being standout examples.

Yeah but wasn't that only over short distances (like gliding) and only to specific points?

Just like in FFVII black and gold.

Traditionally, Black/Gold Chocobos can only lift off from and land in forests.

But I am genuinely looking forward to getting my own airship!

In FF IV you if you get the black or gold chocobo (can't remember which color it was) you can fly wherever you want and as long as you want. The only thing you couldn't fly over was the mountains. But maybe it differs from one game to another.

I demand being a DPS DRK while my male flying Behemoth Mount wears a dress and I have a full size Garuda in place of my Garuda-Egi so I can fly to my 5 in game houses I paid 4500 Gil for so I can complain about how the game feels too cartoony while I afk after facerolling the mega-nerfed mini golf course of Bahamut.

In FF9, a Gold Chocobo was equivalent to an airship when it came to flying around the world map.

Didn't FF6 have a flying Chocobo? Anyway, as a former WoW player.... I don't think flying mounts are a good idea, depending on how they are implemented. IMO they ruined WoW because literally all content could be skipped and just flown to. Blizz had to put heavy restrictions until you hit max level and could buy it ("winter flying" was it called in Wrath?) so people didn't just fly to quest completion markers.

Now if this is just a specific "sky zone" that they can be used, sure I don't have too much a problem. They may have said it already but I missed the announcement of flying mounts.

Well from what I gather, the majority of this new content will be exclusive to Level 50+ characters, so I doubt the whole "flying over" content thing will be much of an issue. Especially since there aren't really any areas that would be broken if they were flown over, other than graphically.
