Flying Chocobos Confirmed

Huh, not sure how I feel about this. When I played WoW, the flying mounts were cool but they really distanced you from the world. After awhile all monsters, npcs, and landmarks were just tiny dots beneath you that you never noticed or interacted with.

I think to make them work the zones where you can fly need to have significant amounts of in-air interest, lots of flying monsters, npcs, floating islands, that sort of thing. So while flying you still feel you're apart of a world and not just a cloud above it.

I really wish you could see the stream because thats exactly whats happening. We will need them to reach the new world, floating islands, and possible aerial battles w/ the primal Bismark, etc. so I dont think it will "distance" us from it. In wow, they weren't really necessary to do anything. Just a perk.

That's great news! Thanks so much for the link too! I was looking around the internet for something just like that.
