Please stop adding ground mounts

combination of rubbish gpose skills and worse paint skills

One example I always thoght it'd be cool if the ragalia put its roof up underwater and became like a submarine or something rather than just be "flying mode" underwater.

In my opinion, this is peak design in mount making. Not only does it elevates what the devs can actually do when they put their minds to it but it also elevates Garland Ironworks as a body of engineers who also can do amazing things when they put their minds to it, lore wise.

They just need to attach a jetpack to all terrestrial mounts, problem solved.

As long as they're designed with all races in mind. Both that one and the cruise chaser should be decapitating my Roe whenever those fans start spinning. It's rather distracting, if not off putting.

yeah im pretty sure femroes clip through the bottom of the mount still
sad

My dream of a flying shoopuf mount are slowly coming true.

If a mount can't fly, then it will simply not be used outside of no-fly areas.

I think OP does have a valid Point on the matter at hand.

Ground based Mounts, such as for example, the ARR Beast Tribe Mounts which totally shouldnt be able to fly in the first place (except the Kobold one) should have instead, increased Movement speed in comparison to Flying Mounts. It isn't a big thing to adress, but i think it would be in a Asthetic way, way better looking.

Also, on the matter with the "lol its aether, i dont have to explain **** why a Elephant can fly" excuse, if you really want to cover lore on this, kerp in mind that the overall density of Aether is fading as stated at the beginning of Endwanker, that alone could be made as a valid enough reason why certain Mounts cant fly anymore.

You can already move extremely fast on the ground in older areas if you have the mount speed upgrades from hunting. The speed is fast enough to feel like you aren't going slower than you would be with flight. The problem is that there are mountains in the way and speed does not fix that problem. Flying is just better because you can go over them.

I can relate. because its an issue that effects many aspects of the game not just mounts..

certain skill animations a ninja will chop there own arms off especially with how big some of the ninja weapons are getting lately..
hairs another one. some of the long styles are nice but holy hell do they clip like crazy.

mounts wise there are mounts that have a saddle like midgardsomr, and races like a lalfell that sit nowhere near it....

I just headcanon it as ground mounts being buffeted along the wind aether streams I unlocked. They're not flying, they're getting swept up in a controlled magical hurricane of my own making.

When did 99% of those mounts come out? Not Endwalker. Thank you for completely missing my point, I want NEW mounts that don't look ridiculous flying, yes I know there are alraedy such in the game, but they have a habit which has continued into EW to release mounts that don't make any sense whatsoever to be able to fly and just look silly doing so.

Also most of those mounts are just terrible. Especially the EW Lynxes with their disprortionately tiny heads, or the Gwibers which are far too small for anything but Lalas.

Come on down to Cid's Magitek(tm) and Clockwork Emporium!

I mean, there's a billion and one reasons for there to be flying and non-flying mounts. It could be as simple as not getting just one aether current, which.. we've all considered passing up due to how much of a pain it can be.. or it can boil down to the fact that we're in a game that has a certain element of Fantasy to it. To each their own.

I can understand wanting more and bigger dragon mounts, that's perfectly valid. But wanting all mounts you personally find silly looking to be grounded which would be a huge pain for everyone liking any one of those mounts is just childish and petty.
