Bring on Personal Wings! [Beyond Heavensward Thread]

[Natsuno]

Summoner only

Seeing as SMN is somwhat modelled after/compared with WoW warlocks...

Warlock Tier 6 xD
(I'm joking)

I'd be up for a jetpack (Rocket Knight Adventures :3) or a glider type thing with thrusters.

I wouldn't want wings, per se. That isn't very FF. Wouldn't mind "Wing-like" capes and things, like the Dreadwyrm or PvP gear, just a bit more pronounced.

[Cendres]

Last I checked, Llyud and Rinoa weren't NPC's...

LOL we could always ask SE to add the Aegyl race! Then there'd be wings everywhere...all the time

I wish they had! lol

This image is an example of the extent of wings I'd be okay with in this game.



Otherwise it's just overkill.

This is the most stupid suggestion I've seem in this forum. This is my opinion, tho'. Adding wings, even if just cosmetics, would give this game a cheap and dork feeling, like one of those f2p korean games. Keep the game classy, please. We're already getting flying mounts.

[AquaRyu]

As a Titan hater, I approve this idea

[Vespar]

I was just saying a few days ago, that it would be awesome to have our own "mog wings" or something

[Mugiawara]

And now let me clarify for you. Nowhere in my original post did i say they made NO sense. (please read it.) I said that airships and flying creatures make MORE sense than wings. See what I did there? More =/= No. Please try to keep up. Sometimes adding stuff to a game doesn't make it better. Just makes it more wowesque which is what some of the WoWfans are trying to make XIV into. By adding these features (in my case of this post, wings) which are not part of the FF series history (please check it) diminishes what makes this FF and that is why I say (in my opinion) that SE won't do wings.

Don't like? Don't use. And this game is apart of FF series so if they add wings, by damn they'll add wings if they want to.
I'm all in for extra fun stuff in this game. I dunno how I feel about personal wings
but eh...people will use it and it doesn't ruin my gameplay so I dun careeee!

For immersion purposes, Cid could make some Magitek stuff if he wanted to.
Jet packs! Or maybe hoverboards? I wanna use my BLM staff to RIDE THE WINDS! like a Witch!

In the context of a couple quests, possibly related to Aegyl lore or even some WHM path, sure. Otherwise, I'd really prefer flying mounts, not just to keep from 'cheapening' the aesthetics, style, class, or what have you of the game, but because if they do actually add in realistic flight gameplay (yes, I realize how unlikely that is), that means a whole lot more choices. Riding an Ahriman, a cloud serpent, and a dragon would each feel totally different. Take all that away in favor of a faerie land, and you just get the one mode of flight. And I guess one other reason would just be that I really don't want regular combat to transition into flight, which would be an easy and soon-pushed-for step if we went with personal wings. I could take dogfights, but I don't want to see people hovering in the air slapping each other with swords, which is what winged combat would probably be most of the time.
