Feedback on FATEs

[TDawnstar]

I do! Griffon is fun given how the world is built, Skyscale was a mistake and should not have been added. In both cases, they're extremely limited compared to what we get away with in FFXIV's flight. I didn't think that this forum in particular was the best place for this feedback, but there you go.

As they say, once the how has been milked, you can't squirt the cream back in the udder. Removing flight would be one of the worst decision at this point: just look at the catastrophe when flight wasn't available at max level back in Warlords of Draenor.

Plus, the comparison with GW2 is not entirely honest because of how many waypoints GW2 has in each zone. While in FF, we already didn't get a 3rd waypoint in Garlemald, leading to all the "Farlemald" memes in hunt trains.

And last, FFXIV deliberately went the way of a fast and cheap travel, hence an array of aetherytes to which you can teleport from everywhere instead of making you wait for 5 min for the next airship from, say, Ul'dah to Limsa.

It's wild to me that people are so aggressively against this point.

People want to play the game, not spend time traveling and fending off random world mobs. It gets dull and unfun after the first 5 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for revamping the FATEs and the open world, but not at the cost of removing flight.
