    I just ment cost value not that it's impossible.

    I obviously know it's possible but the size of behemoth would require the power of something like a chinook to carry it. Which is why I said mount for a mount. And there is a point where resources to make something so huge fly become pointless. Like if you're carrying 1 person. Why have that person ride a behemoth that will ride in a chinook. When you can just... Fly in a airship.

    The fuel tank needed to sustain a behemoth is a little ridiculousz

    to all those naysayers... please stop and leave, the awesome turtle flying is not gonna break your immersion to the game and it doesn't affect you in any other way, don't come here discussing that something "impossible" or "ridiculous" in a Fantasy game...

    You should embrace the fantasy in a final FANTASY title.

    Sorry but a turtle flying is just stupid. They should have just left it as a ground mount.

    What ruins your immersion more, a flying turtle or the lord father of all dragons being unable to fly in most parts of the (old content) world because he apparently doesn't know the air currents.

    This is so true and various other story aspects like:

    Spoilers

    * CID YOU FRIGGING TORPED AN ISLAND AT A WHALE WITH US ON IT AS BAIT YOU FRIGGING ^$^#$^#^#^#$^#
    * CID YOU FRIGGING TORPED US AGAIN AT AZYS LLA AND CAUSED ICE HEART TO SACRIFICE HERSELF FOR US YOU $^$#^#^#^#^#^

    Worst main story immersion/ scripting... no one said anything about his horrible ideas and everyone in the story just smiles at his stupid ideas

    Now see, the Skybear I could also reasonably accept. It would be a nice acknowledgement of a much-loved glitch in game. Like I always joke, "The Skybear taught us all to remember to dream."
