[reillyblair]

well funny you mention point you actually missed it my point was why does an already flying mount not fly when they already made groundbased mounts fly sure its great it will fly probally alongside horses and gobbues and gods know what else i just wanted to know what the reasoning was behind delaying it

It could be for several reasons. They didn't have enough time to develop animations to transition from ground to flight, or they just didn't know people wanted it to fly until it was too late and they decided to bundle it in with 3.1. I think they already showed it in the live letter flying along with the Bomb mount, so they're just bundling it in with the other mounts.

Personally I would rather have my own wings. Heck I wouldn't mind a emote (drinking a red bull) that gives you wings or something like that. I don't care how they give me wings I just want to fly w/out a mount.

Flying with SMN's AF2 outfit lol.

Because voidsent and logic dont mix.

I wonder if the ADS mount will fly?...

Flying Adamantoise. #thedream

If the tiny tortoise spins to move, surely the adamantoise can spin to levitate!

People want the flying goobue >.>.

No I just want it skateboarding on the legacy board performing sick ollies from one floating island to the other.

I do not believe anyone is seriously expecting 100% of the mounts to fly.
They mentioned Kirin and I suppose the other primal horses, which isn't totally obscene. They're already running with magicks under their hooves, and reindeer flight isn't too far removed from unicorns and horses.
They did mention the Bomb Palanquin and the Ahriman mounts as well, they didn't mention the Logistics System (ADS) iirc. But they haven't said anything about any other mount. I'm not actually expecting to start skating around the air on my legacy goob or having my warbear sprout wings.

You can make some mounts fly within the realm of reason, such as the primal horses, ADS, or any other mount that works with airborne movement (granted they will need animation tweaks just considering how fast htey will have to move, as well as teh ascending/descending thing). Other things though, like a typical adamantoise or gobbue, is just pushing it when you're asking for it to fly. Even with fat chocobo it still has wings and it's basically just an obese chocobo (the latter being able to fly anyway)

Because you wish to edit the quote rather than clip it down, I have no idea if you're quoting my pro-flying post or anti-flying post!
