Fenrir is lacking.

Unless you're lucky, or dutifully do the lottery every time it's available, Fenrir is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, mounts in the game to get, yet it's lacking things such a hard to acquire mount should rightfully have. It doesn't have an ability, and it cannot fly. Now, the flying thing is important, and I don't know lorewise how it'd work (just enchant it with crazy shiva magic or something, idk), so that might be impossible, but at the very least, it feels like it should be able to perform the animation of lunar cry.

My ADS can perform low voltage, and will reportedly be able to fly. It will likely become my mainstay mount when it can fly, but honestly, I'd like to use my wolf instead.

I'd kinda see it like breathing an ice trail underneath it to travel in the sky. Only thing I could think to allow "flight"

In that case, why not take the carpet from the turtle and let it ride it for flight too?

Or just make the carpet a flying mount.

imo if fenrir wont be able to fly his pricetag needs to go down by a good amount. but we all know that wont happen. because RNG saucer is working as intended.

wasnt it obvious that It wont be able to fly and becomes useless with hw?

i took the cloud card instead and I'm happy :cool:

btw, it's only a grind of ~140 hours, less if you luck some mini cackpots etc or participate in tt tournaments, getting ads is much worse (300-500 hours of frontline...)

You could make that same argument about the horses; had they not announced before HW that they'd be able to fly eventually, no one would've known, and they're certainly a lot easier to acquire than the wolf.

And given I enjoy PvP, getting my ADS didn't seem to be bad at all.

I agree...Fenrir is pointless and I will not get it ever unless I eventually just luck into the points and have extra. Who knows though...maybe in the next expansion we will be back to non-flying scenarios...this could be just a 1 expansion deal...I hope not though...flying is just rad.

I think that people forget that this game is called Final FANTASY. The reason needed for anything to fly is - just because.

Seriously, sometimes lore is taken to ludicrous conclusions by both players and developers when in reality the whole game is in a fantasy world full of magic. If broomsticks can talk and move then a Wolf can sure as heck fly!

You can shoot lightning from your fingertips, fall off a cliff of any height and not die, or summon a meteor that obliterates everything in sight (except party members, for some reason the blast totally misses them), but if you think for one second a wolf could fly everyone loses their minds

I think we need a better reason than "just cause".

For the price, it should have a special ability plus flight. Without those, I'd stick with a regular Direwolf when I want to ride a wolf. (Not that I have anywhere near the MGP to get Fenrir anyway, even if I wanted to.)

Well, sure, then, by that logic, I should be able to kill all the primals (Extreme included) and all main story bosses too with one single, simple /poke. Because why not, it's fantasy.
...
Yeah, fantasy doesn't mean we should abandon all sense.

On that note though, I do agree that lore is handled with a bit of a double standard... some things (looking at you, Frontline GC restrictions) are a big no-no in any way, shape, or form, "because lore!"... While for some others, the lore seems to be completely swept under the rug - hello all the primal ponies and other horse mounts, in a land where horses are commonly rather unheard of than seem roaming about (don't remember exactly anymore, but I did count once, and it was like...about double the amount of horse mounts than chocobos? something like that).......

Nah. It's a world of its own, that follows its own logic. This logic needs to stay coherent within itself, or otherwise the world loses it's credibility. A good fantasy world has a logical foundation that stays true to itself. When the world breaks its own logic, it's what's called a plot hole.

In that case the simple answer is that Matoya used her magic and now Fenrir can fly. She did this because your character asked her to. She can make frogs sentient and work for her so a flying Wolf is no problem.

I wasn't saying this as a reply to how Fenrir shouldn't fly, I was just saying my view on the "it's fantasy so anything goes" argument. I actually want a flying Fenrir too :)

I didn't mean to come across as being rude, I just wanted to give an easy way to keep it all legit within lore and suchlike. I don't have Fenrir but there's no reason it shouldn't fly. In fact, most mounts should unless they keep it 'realistic', in which case a lot of people will be disappointed at some point. XD

Id be happy if my fenrir just played the snowcloak music when im on it. Lunar cry action wud be cool too

Kirin should definitely be able to fly aswell, no added lore required.

I agree with it being able to cast Lunar cry for Galmour shots. . But please don't make him fly. It just won't be right. .

This 1000x

But seriously, even though I love my Fenrir to death, I don't think it needs the ability of flight. If, for some lore reason he IS able to, I wouldn't complain but yeah I do wish he had something that sets him apart from other mounts, besides his price tag. The Lunar Cry emote or even dropping a icicle like he does in Snowcloak would be pretty cool.

He really does need his own mount music at least, and at MAX VOLUME!
