Wings instead of JUST flying mounts?

[Avidria]

Uhm either you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Or I misunderstood your second question.

You said adding wings would make other mounts useless. Why? They likely wouldn't function any differently than a mount. It doesn't sound like the op, or anyone here, wants more than that. You'd just be flying with wings instead of a dragon or whatever your mount of choice is.

And it's clear from this thread that plenty of people aren't interested in wings or, in some cases, are quite strongly opposed to even having them exist. Even if they did add this, via whatever means or explanation, I seriously doubt it'd spell the end of mounts.

@edit, you explained your thoughts, not your reasoning. Why would people just abandon chocobos and mounts in favor of wings if wings acted the same as any other mount?

I mean I get why most people here don't want wings, and I see their point (lore etc.), but I don't get where this argument is coming from.
