QoL: Mounts that cannot fly...

[Ghastly]

We're going to fly in stormblood again...
Mounts like goobue (my favorite) are having trouble being that special anymore


Can mounts that can't fly get some changes in stormblood? Like maybe they move faster than the flying mounts? Or maybe they can fight with you (bear, goobue, flying eye) while the flying mounts can't?

Maybe I'm the only that feels this way, but most of my favorite mounts are the ones that can't fly...

I hope we get new companions or the chocobo lvl is increased

[Ametrine]

I used to use my battle drake from the Amal'jah quests pretty much all the time, but once flying was added, I sort of forgot he existed.

Although, I basically live on my Chocobo now. If we got other mounts that had the same customization and battle prowess, I might try others.

[Desteroth]

but till you unlock flying in stormblood you'll be riding him like a champion

[Blood-Aki]

The problem with having a mount that moves faster then others is that everyone will go for it, all mounts move the exact same, and that's the way it should be, No need for special snowflakes. There are plenty of mounts that can fly, get/use them, move on, Not every single one needs to fly. use them in the old areas, where no one can fly if you want to feel special.

It's not like we spend our entire time in the HW areas and I doubt that will be the case in SB either.
So much stuff is still in ARR areas, from beasttribes to PotD to events to FATEs and all kind of questlines - and you can't fly there.
I have 2 mounts on my hotbar, the Ixal wolf and one flying mount (usually Pegasus or a primal bird that goes with my outfit), and I can safely say that my beloved wolf is getting a lot more usage than the flying one

Make ground mounts run as fast as flying mounts fly. Easy.

[Zojha]

Simple solution:
Flying mounts move slow, ground mounts move fast.

Thus whether you rather use a ground or flying mount becomes *gasp* an actual choice, since both would have strengths and weaknesses - shortcuts via ignoring terrain vs faster movement speed with no shortcuts.

But honestly, I guess they'll just find some ridiculous way how the mount will be able to fly. If fenrir and gamera can do it, any mount can.

[Felis]

Make ground mounts run as fast as flying mounts fly. Easy.

But only in the new areas. In the old areas they should have the old speed.

[Reynhart]

But only in the new areas. In the old areas they should have the old speed.

Why ? It's really that important that we move "slowly" in the old areas ?
