They aren't adding two-player flying mounts, because there is no way to dismount IN MID-AIR. Imagine if the person controlling the mount flew into the air and went AFK. You couldn't dismount as you would from a ground mount. You would be stuck in the air with no way to get down.

In WoW, you could actually dismount in mid-air, and fall all the way back down (usually killing yourself from fall damage). That isn't an option in FFXIV for flying mounts, so the passenger would literally be stuck unless they added in a parachute feature.

Yes, and it's completely impossible to create a feature like that. (If that even WAS the real reason. Protip: It's not)

Thanks PS3 limitations.

Solution: Allow use of Return/Teleport while sitting in the passenger seat.

Problem: Solved.

Yeah, there are solutions. But they don't have them in yet, to my knowledge, and who knows if they will ever add them in. My gold magitek mount still doesn't have a cannon to shoot, and the Sahagin mount doesn't spit water yet. There are at least 9 mounts they are supposed to add flying to, and they are supposedly working on a flying mount roulette ability.

Oh, the flying fat chocobo gave me an idea. Just like cake can make a fat bird fly, we need to figure out the proper incentive to getting the mount team to hurry up with these things.
