Flying, Manual or On-Rails?

So looking at all the footage of heavensward it looks like the flying is more of a flightpath on-rails type deal instead of just manually flying wherever you want, have they actually given anymore information on this?

I'm assuming it'll be like WoW's flying mounts.

I am sure it is manual, the reason why it looked like it was on rails is because its a trailer showing of the flying.

I seem to remember the London fanfest thing in Dec they mentioned all you have to do is press "jump" to start flying where ever you want.

K cool, i mean i aren't that fussed if it was automatic flight paths, still looks amazing, but yeah, manual flying would be nice :D

What I am wondering is will we be able to fly in all areas (old and new) or will it be in the new areas only?

Just new areas in Heavensward, no 2.0 content.

There is a point in the video where the character takes off from a random peak and lands at a spot that looks like anything but a landing spot.
Pretty sure its manual

I personally wouldn't be surprised if they had both free roam flying mounts and an on-rail travel point flying mount similar to Chocobo Porter system in place.

We will see.

Pretty sure will be both forms, manual if have flying mount and on rails if use camp/city flying mounts like how chocobo's can be both currently depending on if rent or use own from city to city.
