Fenrir mount fly?

What about the Gobbie walker?

[Jabeo]

Never fear, the dev. team is currently looking into giving Fenrir the ability to fly!

I hope the dev. team looking into this realizes that it is a stupid idea and that Fenrir should not be a flying mount. I agree with whoever said that not every mount needs to be able to fly.

Doesn't that thing already fly?

He's asking about its rarity, I think.

Not sure if they're aware, but they could click the link and check, it's the 5th rarest mount though. Surprisingly less rare than the War Panther and Red Baron.

God forbid the devs give players choices. All you guys screaming for mounts to stay grounded can keep them grounded if you wish. And the rest of the player base that has accepted flying as the new and improved way of traveling in the game can choose to do so if they wish. All I'm seeing is a bunch of crying and whining for something so trivial and not effecting you in the slightest if unless you choose to let it effect you. I'm all up for giving players choices so yes let all the mounts fly so they have a reason to be used.

And to be honest, if you haven't noticed that they are making all the mounts fly to make them relevant going forward then you haven't been paying attention. Flying areas are going to be the norm going forward with expansions so naturally they are going to make all the mounts able to fly to accommodate that. If you so choose to stay ont he ground then by all means do so while all of us that have accepted flying mounts as the way to travel wave at you as we fly by.

words.

So I guess you didn't really bother read or just read a few and figured everyone was just whining and left it at that. Like I said, why bother with flying mount additions when we can just get ourselves to fly?

And the (better imo) alternative is adding mounts that can fly, rather than retrofitting old mounts to fly (whether it makes sense for them to or not) due to player demand. I like to keep it within the realm of final fantasy's willing suspension of belief, and that doesn't include having things like bears, elbsts, coeurls and behemoths flying.

When you look back at the retrofitted mounts, none of them changes the rider's posture in the air, and only the Magiteks, Kirin and Ahriman (only for air slicing) has new animations for flying. Bomb palaquin and ADS does not have any new animations.

And I normally don't say this, but really, there's some more important things that I'd rather them to address rather than making dev responses to make tortoise and hoarhounds (which very few players have mind you) flying. There's only so much that asethetics/glamour can do for the game until the baseline of it breaks from underneath. Of course, we could just settle with them running or hopping (in the case of future gigantoad mounts) if we don't care for the willing suspension of belief.

But it's perfectly fine to make everything able to fly because MAGIC! And it's Final "Fantasy"! That means we can get away with anything because fantasy says so!
