I read in the forums that flying mounts might be added. Why are people saying that when Yoshi-P didn't say that they will be added in the Q/A? I didn't watch the live letter so I believe I missed something. I am hoping someone will clarify if they are confirmed or if they are still thinking about it.
So, about flying mounts..

SE has been d!cking around with the idea of giving players who pay to pay through the Seventh Umbral Era a little reward in an exclusive and unique mount. In their experimentations, they created displays of players riding several different species of mob. One of them was an ahriman.
That's about as deep as it goes; and yet people are ... well, look around. I hope that adorable new reindeer suit is flame retardant. -

11-04-2011, 03:12 AMDoctorAh! That is very interesting. Thanks for showing the video. But what are they saying? That we can all get flying mounts in 2.0 or are they simply experimenting flying mounts?Quote:

You either reply to a topic you have interest in or be helpful and contribute to the discussion with answers. I am sorry that my 'stupid' question offended you.Quote:

It's that simple - and for those who see it that way, it's that simple. I'm not sure why they have to complicate it so. Usually, subscription to the original funds the expansion - well, now investment in the failure's reboot leads to a better game. Same principle, just bittersweet. HOPEFULLY, it will also be reverse in execution - instead of the sequel paling in comparison to the original, our investment will pay off.Quote:

If one doesn't agree that investment is a viable option, they shouldn't invest - but they should GTFO out of here already. For those of us who want to see Final Fantasy regain it's former glory through an insane amount of polish and company-community co-operation, I don't see anything wrong with a little reward. Personally, if XIV turns around, I think it'll set a new precedent for SE: "The name Final Fantasy isn't enough and half-assed attempts won't stand. We know you're better than that and we won't settle for lost potential."
Think of what that attitude could bring to XV -- I want SE and FF to live to see another success like VII, and I want XIV to exceed XI. I don't think SE deserves to be kicked in the face when they bow in apology. I'll give them a hand back up and if they want to gimme a mount for my investment, I'll happily take it. -

I doubt they will add flying mounts. This one mount will be hovering 2 feets over the land and nothing else. I want one.. looks much cooler than this whole magitec armour tbh.
-
11-04-2011, 03:31 AMAistarainaThen don't pay and wait for 2.0? I for one am happy with the (admittedly minimal) content we currently have. I still have 2 Ifrit weapons to obtain, stronghold gear and NM's to obtain/down, and 3 more classes to take to 50.Quote:

the sexual tension between Aista and Sephrick is deafening.
EDIT: also, aista, the ifrit mage weapons suck dick.
I got the cudgel and almost dropped it because it was useless. -

I doubt they will add flying mounts, perhaps mounts that fly low.

They better add flying mounts. Won't seem right when hitting my "/sh Falcore!" macro if a pteroc pops out after.
-
11-04-2011, 04:33 AMJinko
They aren't flying as in up up and away, more like hovering mounts.
-
11-04-2011, 05:33 AMLaughlyn
Flying or Hovering mounts?
Im guessing it will be the latter.
Wich, imo is ok with me. -
11-04-2011, 07:03 AMAnonymoose
There'd be no reason to have legitimately flying mounts. You'd just hover like you usually do but whatever's under you wouldn't be touching the ground - it'd be an illusssioooon. If they really flew, it'd destroy their layer mechanics (Unless 2.0 is going back on those, which I doubt)
-
11-04-2011, 07:25 AMOrophinThat was my thoughts on it. Not like you're going to be able to fly hundreds of feet in the air or anything.Quote:
