Because flying mounts will be more than just a faster mode of transport.

I hope there are more then just chocobo mounts that can fly in the expansion and we can fly almost any where in the open world not just around the floating land masses.

That looks amazing.
I think it will only be used to fly from edge to edge. But when on ground it will go back to running normally.

Either way I'm excited to try it.

And look at the awesome scenery too, it looks super fun.

So chickens can fly!

No seriously though, in which final fantasy has a chocobo ever done more than glide over a small distance?
I thought it's also been stated in many games that chocobos do not have the capability of flight.

I mean... dem wings....

They mentioned 6-7 flying mounts are planned.
From the sounds of it, you can fly anywhere so as long as you're in a 3.0 area. Be it floaty-island area or not. I suspect anywhere you can access in the game in 2.x will not have the option to fly with your mounts.
