Why do birds float? Petition to exterminate floating birds.

Birds can fly, guy can't jump

good reason, SE

This is relevant how? I don't even...

That analogy fails to work on account of the fact that birds are not magical creatures.

That analogy works perfectly, because you compared 'em (the birds) to eagles.

I don't see why you think this is beyond SE's abilities.

I don't see why this is a BIG issue to you. So funny how the smallest things brings people to an uproar, lol

Was about to say the same thing. Why should it be realistic?

Also, why not explain how this would work instead of just saying "Why do we have this? Lets get rid of it, and implement this instead!" and not explain anything.

That isn't constructive feedback or making a suggestion, thats just giving SE your own little Christmas list and saying "I want it now!"

So you guys are saying you actually flat-out adore these tacky-looking, unrealistic birds which are a dinosaur of the FFXI era, back when symbolic representations of mobs were more common than realistic ones?

To each their own I guess.

Birds on Earth are not magical creatures. Birds on Eorzea may very well be. Really, the presence of magic in a world should affect the biology of that world. And did you miss the video of the hovering kestrel? Or are you just willfully ignoring it because it weakens your position?

I don't mean to sound rude, but your pitiful act of clutching at straws ("duh it's just magic") does not actually weaken my position.

I'm tired of these games resting on 'symbolical representation' when we are in an age where that is no longer necessary. People ask for a suspension of disbelief but I ask for an attempt at reality.

lmao.

On another note, if I can't jump in the air no go*#@#ned bird better be able float either.

[Evangela]

then why we can't jump even in a fantasy game?

Okay, so you're ignoring the video of the real-world hovering kestrel. Got it.
That's the part that I said weakened your position, not the magic part. The magic part was simply a rebuttal of your statement that birds are not magical creatures.
