ahriman doesnt fly in hw...why?

[Canadane]

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

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.

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

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)
