Flying Mount Vid

[chocomaid]

Didn't FF6 have a flying Chocobo? Anyway, as a former WoW player.... I don't think flying mounts are a good idea, depending on how they are implemented. IMO they ruined WoW because literally all content could be skipped and just flown to. Blizz had to put heavy restrictions until you hit max level and could buy it ("winter flying" was it called in Wrath?) so people didn't just fly to quest completion markers.

Now if this is just a specific "sky zone" that they can be used, sure I don't have too much a problem. They may have said it already but I missed the announcement of flying mounts.

People are doing that already though. That's the problem when the world is small and the monsters in that small world pose zero threat whatsoever. That goes for low level and high level characters and areas. People literally just sprint through the mobs and ignore them. Or just teleport to your nearest home or aetheryte.

in which final fantasy has a chocobo ever done more than glide over a small distance?

In FF9 you can fly with golden chocobo, and that was needed if you wanted to fight Ozma.

So chickens can fly!

No seriously though, in which final fantasy has a chocobo ever done more than glide over a small distance?
I thought it's also been stated in many games that chocobos do not have the capability of flight.

I mean... dem wings....

Golden Chocobo in FF IX can fly.

Yeah but wasn't that only over short distances (like gliding) and only to specific points?

Just like in FFVII black and gold.

In FF IV you if you get the black or gold chocobo (can't remember which color it was) you can fly wherever you want and as long as you want. The only thing you couldn't fly over was the mountains. But maybe it differs from one game to another.

Yeah I remember that, there has always been that "can't travel over mountains thing" Black or Gold was typically the way to bypass it.
