The islands floars because they are rich of concentrated wind crystals, but crystals are charged with wind aethers they do not provide aether directly, what I meant is that having a way to work wind aether can allow for islands to fly as such if somehow you manage to make your body work with said aether you can acquire the trait, it's also possible that wings are born because of the effect of the aether on you too.

Now the T-rex is essentially a nova species since as such is described in the mount log, though it's correct to say that the absence of any kind of T-rex in Eureka is uuuuuh.

Anyway I think was Ethys Asher that debated the wind aether beign responsible for the ability to fly in hydaelyn first or so I remember hearing, but as far as aether and it's effect on ppl, that is still abit up to debate since we don't really have a clear vision on primals and tempering for example, I think we are debating this in the lore section too atm
Well, that's interesting. The T-rex and some other points still leave me skeptical, but let's leave it at that for now. We already strayed way too much from the topic.

Thanks for the discussion tough, I'll check the lore forum sometimes soon

All right, back on track now.

Why are you making the huge assumption that the OP doesn't enjoy FFXIV? Just because someone is complaining, doesn't mean they don't enjoy something on the whole. I get annoyed every time the fucking gardeners come by my apartment window when I'm in the middle of a meeting (I work from home); that doesn't mean I want to move out of my apartment, or out of apartments in general.

Exactly. In fact, most people on the official forum most certainly love this game, whether they criticize it or defend it.

In my posts, I can be really cynical toward S.E., sometimes showing disappointment for the direction the game is taking, or even showing hostility toward Eureka for what it is, but I still love this game and hope the better for it.

And I dare say that if someone really hated FFXIV, or didn't care enough about it, this person probably wouldn't be here posting in the first place.
