    I'm with you there. It's always weird to see the car from Final Fantasy 15 as a mount. Like, why is that the only instance of a car in the game? The Monster Hunter themed dungeon was ok to me. If I didn't know better, I probably would've never guessed.

    I'm OK with anything Final Fantasy being crossed over. After all, it's the same franchise. And we have several worlds that potentially could have gone in different directions with tech and advancement.

    But I'm opposed to anything else. The MHW fight is well done, but I'd rather it not be in the game since it's...
    1 - Not Final Fantasy
    2 - Not even a SquareEnix property

Put in some more effort and you can refrain from running into or playing with other players that shatter your immersion.
    Except that adding that stuff takes up dev time that could have been spent something like, say, improving the glamour system.

    We have flying behemoths, whales, robots, gorillas, Spinning death turtles, flying beds, elephants and a flying carriage propped up by talking fish and a Car is where you draw the line huh? Interesting.

    Oh but a giant whale soaring through the air as a mount is perfectly fine?

    It is, actually.

    It's not about plausibility, it's about whether this item feels like it belongs in a fantasy story. A flying whale seems more appropriate than a modern-looking car.

    Even the more fantastic-looking Garlean devices (two-legged mecha, giant airships) seem more suited to the setting - although their buildings feel out of place to me, as does a lot of the later Allagan stuff like Azys Lla. (I know "ancient advanced civilisation" is a thing, but that doesn't mean I have to like their taste in architecture.)

    FFXIV has never been a strictly 'fantasy' setting, though.

    It seems to be more a matter of personal preferences getting in the way of enjoyment of what the setting actually is.

    Whales are kinda already a thing to see flying in most japanese games as is, so this is fine lol.
