Ceremonial Chocobo Can't Fly...? Really..?

Can we get this fixed and addressed? I mean the Fat Chocobo can fly, why not my wedding mount? I have no reason to ride this with my wife since it can't fly in the fly zones... it's kinda useless now...

I doubt SE wants folks with wedding mounts to be flying taxis for people who haven't done their quests.

Real question is why the Ahriman can't fly. Or the bomb palenquin. Man, I want my flying pimpchair.

all these mounts will be able to fly just not yet.

the extreme mounts + kirin

two person chocobo's

bomb/ahriman

Why can't my Behemoth fly Square?!

They probably didn't think about duo flying, dunno if they even plan to honestly. Might be a risk of letting newbies or people reach areas they are not suppose to prior to completing the story quests.....which thinking now, can't see how that would hurt as the flying is still locked behind MSQ. Meh...

Wedding = ball & chain. They're heavy. Hence, the choco cannot fly.

Of course my logic is faulty because Fat Chocobo.

which could be fixed by code not letting them on the chocobo if they are in an area currently not unlocked.

Well, it does say in one of their descriptions something along the lines of, "it can carry the burdens of you and your loved one". Apparently it just can't carry them Heavensward. XD

In all seriousness, they probably did it to keep people from cheating. One learns to fly and drives the other around to their quests and whatnot. I think they might make it similar to the wedding ring where you can't use it unless both people can fly/have mapped the whole zone.

True but as I did say, what real harm comes from it? There is always an Aether current locked behind the MSQ. Now I do see people looking to profit off allowing other people by being a Taxi service but not a real threat I'd think. After all in this world we live in money/gil will always make your life easier.

Yeah, and the code already exists in-game, you cannot use the wedding rings to teleport if one person has not unlocked flying in that specific zone, which was likely done to avoid these risks.

I personally believe they'll only make the Amber Draught Chocobo will be 2-sit flyable to get more people recruited into the game.

this ^

The devs have announced on several occasions that the listed mounts will have flight capability. Live Letters, Pax, etc. The only questionable announcement had to do with the extreme/kirin mounts where they were hesitating and mentioned that while not available right away, it will "possibly" be made available in a future patch, verbal.

Two seaters were featured on a screen slide on one of the bigger live letters, while bomb/ahriman were verbal.

Fat chocobo flying was the later request of all the requests and it managed to reach the front of the line. Probably because more players have a Fat Chocobo than all the others combined.

Being able to taxi between every other aether current without aggro is one good reason. The whole reason aether currents exist in the first place is to encourage players to go and explore. If you could just ferry people to every aether current in the zone, there's no danger, no challenge and it undermines the whole purpose to having them in the first place.

Man, you all are just impatient aren't cha



o_o.

I believe Gobbue can fly.

be patient they're still making animations for more of the mounts to fly since it wasn't originally planned.
theres still a chance your ceremony choco will get to fly
