So what is the point to flying?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

By the time I get the ability to fly. I don't need to do the quests I need/want to fly for. Lol.

Hunts brah... I do admit, it's very silly.

They should have new sidequests unlock after flying is gained within a region.

That literally happens in every zone.

Also if being able to fly is not reward enough in itself, regardless of what it's useful for, your fun sensors may be in need of calibration.

You guys haven't went through the whole thing, there's around 450 side quests related to heavensward, you'll have enough time to fly and do quests.

fate farming/hunts etc.. imagine runnin to each fate instead of flying?? considering the size of HW maps lol

Gathering and whatnot is much easier

With the new gathering nodes, they only last 55 mins in Eorzea time, so the faster fly mounts are much better to use

Pretty much. The entire aetherflow idea is dumb

The entire aetherflow is a very well thought-out system that strikes a balance between convenient flying and actual exploration. You need to explore each zone as it is while discovering the aetherflow points along your main story quest path. Then after you unlock the zone, you get to look at it from the air and finish off the side quests easily.
