Lol, I'll see your windwalker and raise you a cup of liquid courage - two cups to get me in one~. Although, I kind of expect something like this in Heavensward due to Goblins, would befit a beastmen quest at least from previous precedence, but I kind of hope we see some Goblin earned recipes due to their crafting nature. Requires level 10 armorsmith, 25 goldsmith, 5 carpenter, 55 alchemist, and 100% goblin ingenuity. Kind of reminds me of Castle in the Sky or the later made Howel's Moving Castle.

Guilty pleasure and probably terrible thematic match but I would like to ride a Silt Strider, mystical whale noise included, with Netch like flying mechanics... >.< (glitchy flying mods do not count :P). That being barred how about a baby primal Bismark, summoned by a 25 tonze prayer box - I like the whale sounds lol... ;(.

Considering how the player in SoE gets the windwalker, I'd expect it to involve a questline about two goblin brothers that reach for the sky in their own separate ways.

I hope our companion can learn how to fly.
Or we are back to the situation 1 year ago:
Send companion away -> call mount -> travel to destination (Heavensward: fly to destination) -> unmount and call companion back

A weird wish for a subterrain species. Ixal fit better.

PvP with flying mounts. Ace Combat level dogfights.

I'd like a Magitek Gunship like we see in Keeper of the Lake or something similar.

Bomb mount, blows up when you land.

Reaching for the sky was certainly an Ixali theme but I can imagine in Heavensward Goblins would at least have designed some sort of flying device, being able to make bomb tossing tank cars (Brayflox) and living on flying islands (Heavensward). Besides the Ixali creation would probably be too high class looking (with lalafell help.. :P) to be a stove and barrel, that sort of explosive creativity sounds definitely Goblin lol. Perhaps they are reaching to the sky for an island that smells like a wonderfully odorous cheese, penetrating another beast tribe's defences to find that secret cheese recipe (or natural environment/barriers). Though, since I assume the goblins have ability and devices already, you'd have to work in two gobby brothers disobeying the group and building a vehicle to make the trip anyways :P (one for culinary and the other for alchemy?).

I hope they streamline chocobos (as one content - maybe restrictions to save extra data consumption "10 chocobo license"), I would like to train my main battle trained chocobo to fly too. Minor annoyance to that too, our legacy chocobo is our main GC chocobo - so imo it should be a toggle feather/tattoo option and barding not separate mount.

idk...I LOVED flying in WoW...one time I even renewed my sub just so that I could fly around in my bird form again for a little bit (Druid FTW...best mmo job ever!). It made me explore places I hadn't been before. See things I had easily overlooked because I just wanted to get to my destination. And right now, half the time no one really explores anyway because they can just teleport everywhere. (Doesn't stop me from doing it though) But that's just me.

I really would like to see these as mounts:

Dodo! (a naughty 1.0 farting dodo)

And like my signature ofcourse, a Badass Coblyn mount! (dem crazy eyes!)

Flammie is a mount who can carry multiple people, maybe he could be a recruit-a-friend mount.

Winged Goobbue or RIOT!!!!!

Hey there,

We have delivered your ideas to the development team for future consideration. We can't promise these suggestions will be implemented, but we appreciate all the ideas!

Cool thank you!

My vote goes to a Twintania Mount, uncommon drop from T5.

Also, a Zona Seeker Mount... rare drop from any S Rank Hunt, Ultra Rare from A Ranks.

@Zhexos, please we need you to send someone to the PVP Forum today with official Dev Responses please & thank you!

People there are feeling sorely ignored :-/ it's bad, please help!

Game could do with more end game raid mount drops, its a nice incentive and SE, at least try to stick to your guns in keeping mounts rare this time.

No need to cave to the whiners who can not get everything handed to them, its fine if it takes a long time to get something if its just vanity.

So far they've said that we'll only be able to fly in Heavensward areas and not in 2.xx areas, since the 2.xx ones aren't designed for the flight speed and would load too slowly; They haven't said anything about whether or not it'll work in a future expansions (a little early for that), and they might look into it for 2.xx ones, but no plans for that on 3.0 release at least.

Also, definitely agree on making the Ahriman/Bomb Palanquin mounts flying, and for bringing in Twintania and Flammie as new flying mounts.

An Allagan Hoverboard
Allagan Sphere
Convert the Bomb Mount, Ahriman mount, and maybe change Xanthos into a flying mount (gallops in the air?)

I want a Griever Flying Mount!!!

Oh good god. So much this. ^

Been wanting then to do some sort of Mana crossover thing for a while, ever since the first Dragon Quest event. A flammie mount, and just for good measure, a rabite minion.

Such a shame Capcom and Nintendo own the rights.

A flying gondola like the one from ffix that the black waltz uses, the character stands and steers with the rudder. I would like to see a serpentine flying mount, like the Falcor or the Eastern style dragons. Or a mount that "runs" through the air on a self made magicked walkway, like the ones we see in dungeons but it I created and disappears as you move. For humourous reason a flying turtle that spins a la Gamera.

THIS!... Make it so you can have certain skills for moving in the area, changing either in time-speed or, even being the same but at least different look... It'd be cool to give some special movement utility to jobs at 60.... PLEASE!
(Well.. Dragoon could have super cool enhanced jump too?)

And allow ninjas using the level 40 job skill which's name I forgot to teleport to longest distances and also to different terrain areas... ( I mean, if you're in a roof, and you want to teleport to another roof, you'll fail and teleport down it...)

Gives us cool own movement without need of mounts!

This image speaks for itself and represents a wonderful era in my childhood

Please add Tails as a mount lol

Also, maybe a transformation for our magitek

a phoenix Maybe as a "Healed X# Roulette" achievement not quite the tank mount number? ;p
a book: sit on the binding and the pages flap by the ground giving lift
scroll, with flapping tail end / nimbus cloud
wings. idk how but wings.

@Lisotte flying wrecked wow: Flying didn't wreck wow, PVP with flight wrecked wow because Gankers. That is all. Flying was fantastic

Flying mounts destroy all MMO's, because now there are no monsters to pwn you with. At least Mabinogi had flying monsters over the hot springs (that in itself was a game you needed to shoot them from air balloons with)

My preference would be somewhere along the line of:
Personal "Wings" (eg Angel/Fairy (large white feathers or Butterfly-like,) Bird/Cherub (Small white/pink/blue feathers), Bat/Demon/Dragon/Moogle (Leathery, different positions/colors), which are only practical for short distances, and act more like a parachute/glider), but if hit or stunned you fall out of the sky. Such wings would let you still cast magic using a wand but not a staff.
Mounted flying pet - eg Dragon, Griffon, Brooms/Staves, Clouds, Pegasus, Jetpacks, which have more mobility, but can't cast magic from them.
Airship - Preferable if large airships could only be built and piloted by FC's (Think back to FF6,) small airships must still be crafted by the player or maybe discovered a la Relic Quest. Combat would be possible on either but the small personal airship will just drift if you enter combat. Maybe large airships could be built with cannons.

This ventures into "flying as a skill" instead of a mount.

I think a "self" flying wouldn't be like wings or a mount, so I don't think that would work. A "hover" skill that gives the same effect as BRD's swiftsong may make sense for MNK. SCH/SMN/ACN could probably have "flying" as a pet, where the pet just forms wings and they can continue to do everything they would normally do, just they would lack any combat assistance from it. WHM/BLM could be able to literately ride a staff if they are using one, or "hover" ... WHM already does it when casting Holy. MCH likewise could have a support machine that does hover. The Bard's most logical one is a cloud or wings that come from a song (but may have morbid implications.) This largely leaves the Melees and Tanks without a skill option that would make sense in the context of the world. All of these "hover/fly" options would use MP or TP the same as Sprint, and would mainly be an alternative to using Sprint, except it gives the ability to "fly short distances/fall without taking damage."

Lalafell jet-pack, please. Can be steam punk themed or vernier thrusters a la mobile suits (of Allagan origin?). With a selection of aviator eye wear, preferably.

And, shouldn't the Ahriman be able to fly?

Heh, you speak as though we have monsters to pwn us with right now. The monsters we have don't do any pwning; they just irritate us with weight debuffs.

And who knows? Maybe Heavensward areas WILL have flying monsters that attack flying players, forcing the players to try to find a safe place to land and fight back.

Plus if you want to do any quest or daily you still have to land on ground and kill mobs from ground.
Flying mobs + mount that could fight in sky would be epic. If our dragon mount had for example like .. 4 attacks.

Flying fat chocobo, magitek/allagan flying mount

Flying Goobbues. I'll just leave this here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...flying+goobbue

Enkidu... held by the feet of course.

And what about flying helmet (with little wings or hatcopter:D).

That's Camate before he found the Fantasia potion!

I didn't really want to see any other races ride a snurble, but I always thought it would be a really cute race specific mount. How would it fly though? Perhaps all snurbles hide a pair of epic wings, maybe six or seven hidden winged tufts of hair. Or~ it puffer fish's its hair and body while letting out a noxious rear gas that catches in its hair and causes it to float* through the air... :P. *(to have buoyant quality)

lol I was thinking more nimbus cloud but that might work too XD

Midgardsormr.

Not neccessarily as a mount, let us ride him in a cut scene or something. :D
