Quality Control: Falcon Mount

While I do appreciate the campaign reward... the quality irks me in ways that it shouldn't. I'm hoping it gets resolved with a patch, but here's the offense:

The handle bars are never turned on the mount... so why couldn't they at least have made it so the hands are ON the bars?

It's magic!

Here's a better angle; not even close.

Hey look, your foot still clips it too. That bugs me way more than the handlebars.... I am surprised how that passed through QC

Hmm it would be cool if your tail clips through the back engine.

I gave the foot thing a pass; in my mind there's a little covered part that has places where your feet go. The hands bother me personally because I see them more frequently.

My hands just look like its rubbing the handle bars in a sexual way lol side to side lol.

Yeah but i think the handlebar thing is also on the magitek mounts if i dont recall. I will have to look at those this evening. That foot thing i cannot give a pass since its even worse the bigger you are in comparison to the mount. Like my buddy thats a roe. It's like his whole foot.....

Pretty sure they designed the Falcon to the specs of non-adjusted character heights/builds. So the smaller build will likely have weird placements as well(I used max height for my Au Ra, and it's only off by a but, not as bad as what you have OP).

I have the large Roe character and I don't see any foot clipping. I can see the handle bars slightly off though.

Scrap that I just changed shoes from best man gaiters and now see the clipping on every other pair of shoes I own. Hideous on some.

I'm the max height for female kitty person. =)

Female Roegadyn definitely have some clipping, and it gets worse the taller they are on the height scale. Male Roegadyn do have clipping with the feet, but it's not noticeable unless you wear huge boots.

I think every race has some level of inconsistency with the handlebars.

Actually I'm the shortest a Miqo can be and I sit in it perfectly. Only thing that bugs me is if I use any chest with coattails it clips through like no one's business.

Only issue my max height elezen faces is that her thumb clips through the handlebars(that and moogle slippers lol.). Not as bad as other races though

The front wheel clips as well when stopped on flat stone surfaces. There might be others as well but I didn't spend much time mucking around with it.

I can look the other way for some clipping here and there, but what I find unforgivable is the standard flying mount BGM. No "Searching for Friends"? Really? For shame Square-Enix, for shame..

Smallest size auri female here. Mount fits 100%.

I had hoped they would have fixed it by the second batch...If the next reward is this lazy I'm not going to go out of my way to buy a timecard :c

I'm max height female Aura and my hands are a bit higher than handles ...

I've noticed that (usually) the smallest height of each race will fit perfectly. I'm slightly taller than the smallest height for a Lalafell and I have issues with the handlebars as well. It seems kind of funny to me considering how small I am already.

Like a lot of things...

I cannot believe how ungrateful and entitled you people are.

They gave us this mount, a mount that some of us found during our childhood as way to reconnect with this fond memories.

They gave it to us for free, only out of the kindness of their heart with their only wish being that it brings a smile to each person riding it.

Yoshida and his team slave away day and night to give us this wonderful world of Eorzea and they don't ask for anything in return. All they wish for, while they sacrifice for our benefit, is our enjoyment.

And you horrible people can't even do that.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I wouldn't understand. Mainly because I am lecturing at the Scholasticate and am currently on break so after lecture I will check my mail to see if I fit my new mount. But I at the same time I get your point.

By free; do you mean the money we had to pay for the expansion, then the 14.99 per month?

some people aint gonna get those /s's lol

I get the sarcasm, doesn't mean it was really warranted... That and I like literal. Makes it easier. =)

There is only one adjustment I want to this mount: the background music. Give me that and I am fine with small detail flaws. At the very least I'd prefer the Heavensward flying mount theme if we can't have the true music from FF6...

Tallest size, too.

"The Falcon's cool and all, but I think I'll stick with my Manacutter. Yeah, the Falcon triple changer gimmick's cool and all, but it just not comfortable. Guess this is what happens when you let a Lala design the thing."

i did some fantasias to test this out since it actually applies to all scaling mounts, just not as obviously

for every race except highlander the mounts scale to fit 0 height perfectly.
for highlander they scale for 0 height midlander meaning even the smallest size is way too big

thats... kinda sad

I knew my max height au ra was obviously "too big" for some mounts (his tail clips through the side of yokai mounts ;-; ) but this is the worst I've seen across the different races/genders. Lizard man only clips the steering handles, his feet are completely fine. Cat girl has both feet through the hull and hover hands @_@

I'm happy they didn't I hate that BMG.

So this thread exists. Notice the category at the top? (Bug Reports > Confirmed/ Planning to Address)
