PLEASE change the "smoke cloud" effect behind flying mounts!

I like the effect. But I would like a toggle for those that do not.

In some maps it gets actually unbearable. I also don't have a topdown-ish camera setting - mine is behind the character and mount more than above them. That's why it's so much worse.

Yeah I also find it annoying and try to always have my camera off-center when flying, but of course it just snaps back. I like the little trails that some wings make when flying, but the weird puffs of smoke just obscure my view. It also seems way too big and shapeless to really be coming from whatever you're riding.

Why are you flying a Griffin, with no particle effects, inside a volcano with smoke and ash swirling around? I think I see the issue xD

I have never had an issue with this. Maybe a toggle if the devs ever see the need but I'd rather not use Dev time for this. Just use a different mount.

I've always hated this.

It's on EVERY mount. Even the teensy tiny great serpent of ronka mount. It's just more concentrated there.

I also don't like how this looks. I don't get any bad effects from it, but it just seems unnecessary and weird. Is the air in Eorzea very dusty? Are the mounts extremely dirty? I don't understand where the smoke comes from. I realize they put it there to make you feel like you are going fast, but I just don't think it's needed.

I use the Moogle Beastribe Cloud Mallow mount and don't notice it as much on that one though, which is one of the reasons I use it.

The particle effects are why I straight up refuse to use certain mounts. Fenrir being the biggest disappointment. I have wanted Feni as a mount since I got him as a summon in ffxi and we finally get him and the particle effects are so overboard that I just took him off my bar after a few days. I would love a toggle for this.

While they have gotten better from arr and certainly hw days, the devs stil go a little heavy handed with particle effects on certain things imo.

I personally love the particle effects for Fenrir, but I don't think a toggle for these sort of mount effects is a bad idea at all. It would be a nice QoL thing for those who'd use it.
