Fenrir mount fly?

[LadyVal]

I've questioned it once or twice and I'm still not a fan of it. Especially since it's not explained whatsoever.

It's Japanese fan service of Gamera, similar to Godzilla.

Gamera also has the ability to fly. Generally, Gamera pulls in his arms, legs, head, and tail into his shell, fires flames out of his arm and leg cavities and spins around like a flying saucer.

Still gonna question it because I'm that kind of stick in the mud.

Make land mount run faster then the current flying mount boom! Solved only on HW area only btw but flying will still be faster since can fly over cliff

Or we could make it so certain mounts can jump high/climb mountains/cliffs.
So For example, fenrir runs vertically over the cliff at a fast rate by clawing into the ground.
But there's a lot more programming involved. So simply, we can just make fenrir fly.

People who are crying "But the lore" and then use examples etc.
I understand you. You like to get immersed into a fantasy game. But that's not what everyones doing either.
Secondly, they could absolutely explain it.
Magic. Simply put, the fenrir mount was enchanted to fly.
Wanna argue it? We can keep arguing fantasy and make belief things until the cows come home until you feel "satisfied" why a mount is flying. Only to not care 3 days later.

I question it too. How that's lore friendly is beyond me, but no one seems to be up in arms over it when they do get up in arms over far more practical, believable things.

I am.

I just am also nitpicky and everything with me has to have some sort of reason, so I rip it apart. What's wrong with asking "why"?

I see your "why" and raise you a "why not?"

[Nestama]

Because sometime's a 'why not' and 'it's just a fantasy game' isn't enough for those of us really like the lore in the game. Why can the turtle fly? What's making it fly? Why does it spin? How is our character not flying off the mount after a few spins?

If it were explained or were part of a quest to unlock flight for it (that explained everything asked), then I'd probably be fine with it. I'd still call it stupid, though.

As an obsessive compulsive collector, I bought every mount & minion from the Gold Saucer & Cash Shop, but I find it ridiculous that the most expensive mounts on both don't fly while their cheaper counterparts do. Just on that fact alone that Fenrir & Sleipnir are the most expensive mounts, they should fly, lore be damned! I still go to ARR areas, because I didn't rush and level every role as fast as possible, so I still use these mounts on the ground, but they should definitely fly in HW areas, too. I really want Sleipnir to fly as I made it my Dark Knights designated mount, which I want fly with in HW areas.

"Just cause" ain't really an answer and is basically the equivalent of telling a kid "Because I said so".

[ChocoFeru]

The turtle can fly because Manderville Gold Saucer. You never ask why to a Manderville.

[Azper]

"Just cause" ain't really an answer and is basically the equivalent of telling a kid "Because I said so".

I can say the same thing. "Because wolves don't fly" isn't a good enough reason for it not to fly in a fantasy world full of magic and other phenomena.
