Make Diabolos/Angel wings usable as mounts

As title says, what do you think of making diabolos/angel wings able to make you fly in zones?

Wings that are actually functionable, in my MMO? That's innovative

We literally got wheel skates but not wings. Wth SE.

It's not Korean mmorpg

One set of wings were already one set too many.

Wings are like a disease in MMOs, they look awful and break most aesthetics, yet they appear everywhere.

AION did that, but badly implemented.

Luckily they do not work in combat mode :)

Every non Korean MMO I played had wings too.

I approve of this thread and will sign any petition

I think there's a lot of things that look 'awful' but they are in themselves completely subjective.

They're also a common fantasy trope and present in many single player games, so I wouldn't attribute them solely to MMO's myself.

This would be a cool feature. I would like to have the Diabolos wings as a back accessory if possible.

So do the 2b leggings yet i saw everyone advocating for those awhile back. We have modern glams in the game that are extremely out of place i don’t see why wings are any different lol.

I don't see why not. We already have stranger modes of transportation, and they already more-or-less work like mounts mechanically.

If they ever add that demon/angel dressed catgirls and bunnygirls will become the main bulk of the Eorzean population.

rather than mount I would just like to /sit and /cpose

Given the average Limsa glam, I struggle to see this is as something worse than current situation.

I wonder why so many are against wing mounts?

EQ2 did it with wings you could buy and then later wings your race had. You shrunk and could fly with Xegony's blessing.

Dun think it'd work here.

I mean, if we are talking about the usual demon/angel glamour choice out there, I don't think it would change much at all.

EDIT: As an extra though, I always found that wings that allow normal-seized humanoid characters to fly look way too silly, not that FF14 takes itself seriously all the time, but it's going to look very Second Life-ish if they ever do that.

Then do some posts advocating for washing Garleans out of the game since they have cars and radios.

Why would i? I’m fine with it, i’m just pointing out the double standard. People complaining about how wings would be out of place when we already have out of place things in the game lol.

Only if Dragoons can "fly" via their Jumps as a unique mount.

should make them useable on mounts and combat, you cant do anything with the damn fashion accs and stand afk in a room .... which is pure horribleness why would I work for something I can't even use for 99% of the content lol

I mean, this'd a nice way for these wings to not feel totally useless, as they are right now.

I think that was a gimmick in Aion.

Wings break aesthetic in a fantasy MMO? :confused:

Hah! I almost forgot. Thank you :D

Wouldn't hate it, especially the Angel Wings seeing as how you have to have a massive time commitment to obtain them.

Agreed. I don't see the point of "fashion accessories" if you can't do most of your emotes. I'm not against them becoming mounts, but they barely live up to what they are supposed be.
