Fenrir mount fly?

[Miste]

I love how people are questioning how Fenrir is going to fly yet we have a spinning, flying Adamantoise with fire coming out of its legs.

Just proves people are just nitpicking.

I mean its optional to use these mounts as flying mounts so if you personally don't like one of them flying then just use them as ground mounts?

It always baffles me why people will fight against optional stuff. Like I personally don't like the PVP in this game but I don't care when they add more of it since there are other players who do like it; its not like the game or anyone is forcing me to PVP anyway.

One's an idea that's already done
Gamera in flight

The other is a wolf.

I've questioned it once or twice and I'm still not a fan of it. Especially since it's not explained whatsoever.

I can smell the future primal-bait. >w>

Will this mean that if a Fenrir Primal comes along, they'd have to change the Snowcloak boss name to "Hoarhound" or something?

It's Japanese fan service of Gamera, similar to Godzilla.

Gamera also has the ability to fly. Generally, Gamera pulls in his arms, legs, head, and tail into his shell, fires flames out of his arm and leg cavities and spins around like a flying saucer.

Still waiting for sleipnir to be able to fly.

Square, people aren't going to continue buying that mount if it can't fly. You're losing potential money here.

I think more people want the Slepnir mount for the awesomeness it is instead of worrying about whether or not it can fly (and if people don't got heavensward, flying is a useless feature anyway). The mount ran its course anyway.

"Following the rise of Ishgard, hoarhounds all but disappeared from the Coerthas highlands. However, the shift in climate caused by the Calamity has seen the legendary beasts descend from their mountain dens once more."
this last bit here is so vague that it could justify fenrir mount flying lore wise anyway for example Dragons descend from homes and can fly, humanoids can descend from a mountain anyway they wish be it skis/falling/walking/snowboarding etc and can't fly the word 'descend' is left up to interpretation which i believe the devs are doing.

As for whether it should fly is down to the player base and the dev team response to the player base same with any other mount. i personally don't care if it can fly or not or any other mount for that matter, i don't want the devs however to spend too much time on making every mount fly when there are plenty of other things they can work on to improve. Its nice but not necessary within the game at this point in time

But it is Fenrir. Whether it's the leader of a wolf pack or not. Fenrir is no ordinary wolf. This game is Fantasy after all. Is FFXIV seriously going to be ruined for you because a reoccurring being in the Final Fantasies is going to be given the capability to fly?

Fenrir wasn't just a god he was a summon. Since summoner in Xl could summon him. So if SE decided to add the Actual Summon IE a primal as the real incarnation of Fenrir then. This version will end up getting its name change to something else. Since its SE they can do what they want. So if this wannabe Fenrir King of the wolfs or what ever does it truly matter?

Oh for chrissake. Just because they don't spoonfeed us updates about everything they say they're looking into ways to implement doesn't mean they aren't doing it. I swear if people would just have some patience we'd have a lot fewer necros and repeat threads.

the post from SE that they are "looking into it" was over 4 months ago. how much longer do you think we have to patiently wait without any information if it is ever gonna happen or not?

maybe "alpha fenrir"?

If Fenrir can fly, I have to say I fully support a tail helicopter method.
