Don't add flying mounts

Pfft, they cant even handle elevators in praetor. What makes you think they can handle free flying?

id prefer swimming with combat than flying..

bit like how Monster Hunter has the underwater fights with Ludroth, would be insane primal fight + make elemental resistances useful for once.

I don't want flying mounts. They're cool at first, but really hurt the game in subtle ways.

But swimming? That's so much worse. In all of gaming only two good things have happened underwater. Ecco the Dolphin and sex with Yuna.

you are too late. there already exists 2 flying mounts. The Kobold mount, and the eyeball mount ( name escapes me currently ). Though they are more of a hovering mount, they still technically fly

While I agree that flying mounts are bad. The reason for it has nothing to do with anything mentioned in the op. It has to do with the ability to bypass any and all monsters. Seeing people in the world.... that really isn't a negative. While you will sometimes join a party for fate farming, it's not like seeing people running thru a map to kill something really means anything. World pvp doesn't really work for this game for reasons mentioned above. The reason they made cross realm zones in WoW also has nothing to do with seeing people run thru zones. It has to do with the fact that because of declining populations some servers didn't have enough people to do group quests at level.

i believe he also mentioned this when talking about future support of the PS3. He mentioned something along the lines that if he wanted to have players flying around and swooping down to attack a 200' long dragon that is something that they couldn't do on the PS3.

I don't think we will see flying mounts anytime soon, but Airships are a strong possibility.

jus gotta say how would flyin mounts ruin the game?, for one there is no world pvp in this game, there are no faction wars, only in the pvp grounds which are instanced. aside from that flyin mounts didnt ruin wow the community did. i can understand the whole exploration thing, if they did add flyin mounts it wouldnt really harm anything cause seriously how often u se ppl explorin the places in the game aside from the fresh new ppl tht join and your tellin me that just becuase there are flyin mounts everyone will jus up and begone like there are hordes of ppl jus standing, in all the low level zones. it wont ruin the game. ppl will be in the same places they always are. atma farming, mor dhona, limsa uldah gridania and north shroud.

If we do get flying mounts we better have battles in the sky.

I come from maxing out several toons in WoW, but I don't want flying mounts in FF. For gods sake, though, give us some faster land mounts!
