The word "Flying" in 1st expansion

Like 1 member does the flying, another does the shooting...

Sounds like Guns of Icarus.

i'm guessing he was refferring to the buildable airships he hinted about in the past. most likely rquired to advance further into the story an reach the new endgame content areas of said expansion pack.

Well assuming a Personal Air-ship will be required to progress in the storyline most likely a part of 1st expansion may have quests involving us to gather materials to create our Default Personal Air-ship while other type of Air-ship design must be create through Crafters and other means.

While it maybe questioned why bother making other designs of Air-ships if a default Air-ships is given through story quest and they are only for accessing new areas and content, creating unique and different type of Air-ships for our character will simply for fun and Vanity like Housing.

I'm certain Yoshi said in an interview that PS3 limitations meant no flying mounts.

If they did go with flying mounts, I want a goobbue flying via a propeller beanie hat, while my character hangs on to one of its legs.

Well if it does involve getting our own Air-ships then Air-ships will not be a mount but a required item to access certain places.

Current info has shown that any unique Air-ship can be built in Personal housing or FC Housing and there were some mention for Air-ship serving some important purpose for future contents. There could be other methods to build Air-ships but so far Yoshi-P only announced that Certain Air-ships are built through Housing such as the FC Air-ships requiring FC Housing.

So far Air-ships appear to sound similar to Housing but will be used to access certain contents.

There are actually solutions for flying mounts on PS3 fairly easily.

- make them special zones only (like, dungeons or maybe one or two regions only)

- stop PS3 support (while this is highly unlikely for the 1st expansion I think I've read somewhere that they will maybe abandon the PS3 version at some point in the future)


Also it doesn't need to be Flying mounts. Maybe it's just Flying travelling (like with the chocobos that bring you to a certain place for 20-100 Gil) that transport you to a zone in the sky.

The expansion will have you creating airships and traveling to far away lands not normally accessible.

Well, guess we're going to see black chocobo.

Flying Get.
