What do you guys think? I hope they add these in-game sometime, for Little Ladies' Day or Hatchling Tide!

They'll eventually add it. It would be a waste otherwise.

They usually bring their mounts to other regions eventually. For one reason or another, this parasol stuff is popular in Asia.

Long overdue, we have talked about a Mary Poppins flying umbrella since HW I think.

I don't like the graphical effects, I would prefer a simple umbrella with nothing extra.

Yes, it would be perfect for Little Ladies Day, but have they ever added anything from the chinese version into the game directly instead of the cash-shop?

Chinese mounts are invariably Cash Shop items. Likely due to licensing.
Expect these to be $24 / £13.80 when released in 6 months time.

I think a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

If chinese players have to pay for it it should be the same for us.
If it is free for them it should be free for us.

And if Squeenix has to pay Shanda Games for it, then we'll be paying for it either way.

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go dow-ownnnn
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
~~whistle whistle whistle~~

These were already added into the game files with 6.3 so expect to see them soon.

The effects look kinda cheap. Same for the balloon mount, idk why they added them.

I haven't noticed any sound while flying but then I have the BGM enabled.

The whistle when I mount and dismount is getting a bit annoying though, especially during hunt trains where other players are also using it.

IIRC people datamined the Street Attire added to the game files around the same time it was released in Korea... and then it was added to the mogstation like a couple months later. This might be a similar case... I'd think something made available around the next patch, since right now we got the Balloon mount that is somewhat similar, and releasing those apart is (sadly) better for a business perspective.

Well we got Balloons.
What if this is just the same mount in a New Skin? :0

Be a shame, missing out on the Mary Poppins Glamours
Or Yondu Memes

I thought it would look bad, but it is even worse... and then the sound effect...

They manage to ruin even the most simple task.

I guess thats another mount to put next to the lotus mount.

Would look nice to walk around in, but anything relating to sitting on a seat/ground or being mounted will look... shudders...

It's not a problem for me as I play the game and don't /sit in a city. There are several mounts this dress would work with, such as the Miw Miisv, the pod, the gilded mikoshi or Blackjack.
