Suggestion: Foot-based mounts

I can easily see this as a reward for Hildibrand.

I want a Magiteck Jet pack/rocket boots now. when using the rocked boots on the ground your character used the rockets to sprint really fast.

I was gonna say I'm against this idea strictly because it doesn't feel like an FF thing, but then again there were those rocket rollerblades in chocobo racing...

it makes more and more sense once you think about it.

for example, the ninja of FFXIV seem to be doing a lot of background travel. they do not appear to use mounts at all, but they are still able to get from one region to another.

another example are the dragoons, who are meant to slay aerodynamic enemies, thus they need to jump at extreme distances and heights.

monks themselves seem extremely agile mostly in cinematic and lore.

As a Dragoon, I want to be able to Jump high up in the air and rapidly twirl my lance around so I can fly like a helicopter.

All classes can have their own flying technique depending on how cuhrayzee you wanna get. Monks can Elixir Field around, Arcanists can fly on their carbuncles, and DRKs could do their Buster Sword spin.

sarcasm aside, it would be interesting to have class/job specific mounts.

Players can run at mount speed. It's called sprint. Running at mount speed outside of combat is asking for a permanent sprint. Also, the day characters can fly around like Dragon Ball Z with their gear on, is the day FFXIV jumps the shark.

Awfully presumptuous to think I was being sarcastic.
