Wings instead of JUST flying mounts?

[Twilite]

First wings, then a wind-aether infused subligar that for some odd reason has to be worn over a pair of pants.

Bahahahahahahahaha

[Avidria]

Machinist-made techno wings. Mmmhmm.

No, I do not want wings in FFXIV. Go play Aion.

But Aion doesn't let me fly freely in the open world.

...and the steampunk wings there cost like 200 million kinah. >.>

I'd be for it as I have said before, following the Goblins who seem to be working on the mechanical wings (as seen by some mobs) so I'd be all for it. Now as for like angel wings or such sprouting from the body no, but for like a mechanical outfit for flying I would agree with. Give it a dye slot as well and set.

If Cid made some sort of magitech wing/jetpack thing, maybe (leaning no). It would at least fit in somewhat, but I would prefer him to stick to airships and manacutters.

Straight up angel/devil (natural looking feathery/voidsent) type wings or any variation of those sort of wings: just no. I don't think it would fit in at all for any of the playable races to fly with them.

The only "natural" wing I can foresee potentially making it in is Sephiroth's wing and coat with the FF7 remake happening, purely cosmetic. Even then we're more likely to get the SOLDIER outfit.

How about a flying bicycle mount with a moogle hiding under a blanket in a basket by the handlebars?

Love the ET Reference.

While not Lore Breaking as some suggested (Because Aether+Magitek+Void= no such thing as bad logic) it would be ignoring the fact that Eorzea didn't have Air Ships again till a few decades ago when Cid fled there at the tail end of the 6th Astral Era.

So high levels of technology like Flight Packs (Wings or otherwise), Hoverboards, or even Cloud's Motorcycle (Sadly) are simply to advanced to fit with the current level of Eorzea technology. The Goblins them selves cant fly. Their Glider Packs allow for no more than a controlled fall. To put it simply, Allag could have done it, Garlemald is probably working on it, but Eorzea just has to little tech developed to support it.

Honestly if they're going to make tortoises and hoarhounds (and gobbule at this rate) fly, this sort of reasoning won't fly going against why we can't fly without mounts.

[Fevelle]

NO.

This is not a provate RO server or Aion. Adding wings is extremely silly.

The eff, are you guys talking about Lore. Have you seen the 100's of glamours in this game that make 0 lore sense?

If you guys don't want to use wings, you don't have to, but I don't see why you want to push that on to other people. If OP wants wings, why not let him fly with wings?

Personally, I hate a lot of the larger mounts (dragon, behemoth, goobue etc), but I don't push this notion on to other people.

You know what makes the most Lore sense? Riding a dragon that you've previously killed.

EDIT: Maybe I need to start posting images of wacky/silly/lore unfriendly glamours

You can have my vote as long they're in the cash shop for $25 per character.

Problem is they must create animation when flying landing and idle for each race and gender same as walking and running. That use a lot effort ofwork for them.

animations already exist ingame: just need optional wings and profit
