Flying Mount Vid

[Shougun]

I would like to counter with "Why teleport, when I could fly?!"

Yes~ !

I'm not sure how or why SE would spend the money to do it, but -if- they made a world map like they did in FFXI and a few other 3d FF - I would love to ride my airship/mount on it like a classic FF game (/only/ able to depart/arrive from major locations like Aetherytes and maybe hamlets). To offset the gil sync from teleports they could make a maintenance fee (that is optional, for those who don't care to use the feature), if you seldom travel you'd be better off teleporting, but if you travel frequently with distances the cost/time would greatly lean towards using your airship/mount. Depending on the detail (load on system) you might even be able to have it pop up like a "Skyrim" map (facing three loading screens wouldn't be that cool, specially for ps3 users). Also may use a world map as a way to add unique locations that may not make sense to be connected by the conventional zoning system (floating Fortress not found in Ishgard sky?).

They said way back when they were working on a world map but it wouldn't be ready for 2.0, curious if they scrapped it or not. Scenic mode where you just hang out above an area, Fishing with your feet off the deck over an ocean or deep ravine (cloud fishing). Would probably instance all this so it doesn't look bad (too much 'world map' clutter).

Unlikely though xD.
