And in 1.20b we'll have...

there is 1.no lorebehind this mount because there is no reason for it to be in this game. its dumb to add other mounts because then its just like any other game, and takes away from the 2.believability of a structured world. 3.it wont be obvious at first but when you eventually see people running around on every monster you fight, flying on a random mob, and 4.bunny hopping to run down the road, it will be stupid.

and alot of people will say this is a cool game. but no one will be able to say this is a 5.believable world.
i was drawn to FFXI above other mmos because the FF series always had this feeling that you were in another world, not so much that you were playing a game. this game is losing that.

i dont care if this is a gift. even if i dont use it, when other people do, it takes me out of this world and puts me in a game

1. Watch the ul'dahn opening cutscene. It's sedated and it breaks out.
2. that's getting meteor casted on it.
3. they're not going with an open world so I can't see them implementing flight for the sake of going from loading screen to loading screen
4. isn't this going to be implemented after they cast meteor?
5. I disagree. It's not SE's fault that you have to change your immersion up to believe you're in a different world and yeah it's a game.
