Can we please have flight unlocked as part of the main story?

Im mad that they are not doing more broom quests ;_;. Those quests weren't even that hard. And the moogle ones were lol once I learned about the mighty Z axis.

After looking at the progress someone can make through the game without even coming close to doing all the quests required, along with flight being necessary to reach Hunts effectively, it seems like this really should be a feature that is unlocked via completing main story quests rather than running around gathering nodes and doing a bunch of likely boring and repetitive quests. There is very little fun to be had running around a zone trying to find green swirling vortexes, or having to pour over a quest log to figure out which quests aid in attunement.

No thanks. I enjoy the journey of unlocking stuff.

you can't complete the aether currents until you pass/unlock certain part is the MSQ. If you are lvl 52 but didn't finish ur MSQ lvl57, then you can't unlocked fly. In a way the aether currents are tied with the MSQ.

That is the beauty of the currents. It force you to get to know what is going on that map and in the MSQ before getting access to flying.

It's not like it is hard to get the currents. Seriously, you have a compass that tells you exactly where to go, you see a shiny thing, you click on the shiny thing, check the compass again and repeat. They couldn't have dumbed it down any more if they had tried.

Is this the new "please make ishgard available without clearing 2.0 msq"?

Is this the new "please make ishgard available without clearing 2.0 msq"?

Pretty much.. it is the "I bought the game, now can i have everything unlocked and handed time right away ASAP" - stop telling me that I have to explore, do the quests, and actually play the game. Soon they will make another thread "Can we skip all MSQ and give us level 60 ASAP so we can do the raids - while at it, give us instant gears 170 without doing anything but talking to one npc".

I cba to read the rest of this thread, but I have the exact opposite option to TC. Flight should be accessed through Aether Currents alone, and have nothing to do with main quest/side quests. I mean what's the point of unlocking flying in an area after it's main use had passed? And Aether Currents are fun, feels like an epic adventure hiking around trying to find them all. You also learn the area more thoroughly that way too, something quests don't really do.

Honestly the only reason SE locked it behind MQ is so they could put more bullshit filler "fight monsters on the way to XXX" quests in. Solution? Cut those out and add the EXP they'd give to quests that actually matter. Filler is one of this game's biggest issues, but that's another problem entirely.

The maps are purposely designed with flight in mind, that's why it's so frustrating to travel on the ground... I think they did this on purpose so that flight feels rewarding (which it does!) I personally LOVE the Aether Current feature, it beats all those other games that ask for a huge sum of gold then gives you flying for every zone :\

I hate how they implemented unlocking flying, but I ground it out and finally got them all. Glad, that torture is over and can fly now.
