He said that the danger won't be on par with FFXI but that they do want to introduce some of that danger now that players are familiar with the game and they have an established userbase.
With the inclusion of flying mounts, ehhh I am not seeing it. He said you won't be attack while in the air, and giving the player the ability to fly away from or fly over enemies means any danger that could have existed is bypassed. Basically same shit that happened with WoW's TBC.
