Give Behemoth Flight! and by association swimming

[Lambdafish]

I really wish they would just classify things into one or two of three groups. Terrestrial, Aquatic and Flying. My bomb carriage can swim but my elbest can't. This really irritates me on a deep level and feels awkward especially when riding a flying Syldra. I agree with an above comment "lazy"

This is exactly how I would do it, and to make things fair here's my design for the mount system:

Terrestrial: Moves fast on land, cannot swim/fly
Flying: Moves slow on land, can fly
Aquatic: Moves slow on land, can swim

The movement system introduced in Stormblood would also be updated, with movement upgrades affecting flying and aquatic mounts when moving in the air/water respectively.

The devs have designed themselves into a hole where flying mounts are objectively better, so every mount has to have both flying and swimming. They said "you can't have a tiger mount because it can't fly" previously, but at some point, they smoked something strong and their design process changed to "sure, a tiger can fly"



Edit: Also, for my sanity: Aquatic mounts should be able to be mounted when on the surface of the water.
