Primal Horses Flying

[RobbieH]

Some sources say that in the myths Sleipnir could run in the air

Not a myth, in FF9 he does that.

I wonder if Sleipnir will fly too.

Pretty sure it was confirmed that by 4.0 that ugly mount will in fact fly. Plaguing the air with its disgusting self as well as the earth.

I found someone spinning in place on the turtle and sent a tell to make sure they were ok IRL. That's how I learned about it's insane flying animations.

I think all mounts should fly if they can make something like that a thing.

I didn't spend all that effort and time gettimg a sand drake to never have the chance to ride him

[Beckett]

My assumption has been that as long as new Primal Birds are coming out, they won't make the horses fly, since they would distract from the shiny new things. If we do get fly Primal Horses (and I really hope we do), it's likely to be after the final Warring Triad primal comes out. So maybe 3.55?

I want to ride my Boreas elsewhere besides just non-HW zones every blue moon. :c

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Yay then we can all create a rainbow :P

It isn't possible to ride a pony in HW areas???

I get that it isn't as efficient or cool to use as the other flying mounts. But, they are usable for most things in HW areas.

As for the turtle? Never should have flown IMO. Fenrir? Maybe. I have both and had both before they could fly.

Primal ponies and tank mounts can stay on the ground too. I have all the ponies, including nightmare, the DRK mount and almost done the PLD one too. I have some skin in the game as the saying goes.

If it should be able to fly physically or for lore, I'm down with it flying. Otherwise, I vote no.

Imagine all the fun if we get swimming and underwater stuff? Do we have to make everything swim too?

The issue is more HW and flying mounts go everywhere, but ground mounts are limited. Some instances they are useless.

You have to fly to certain important areas in the Sea of Clouds and the Churning Mists, for example, so my favorite non-Chocobo mount is useless there.

It's also awkward trying to gather on a ground mount in Heavensward areas. Even if all the nodes can be accessed without flight, which not all of them are, they are spaced so far apart.

I would honestly say they ARE useless, How often do you actually visit old areas if you aren't leveling (even then there is palace) or aren't doing hunts (for some reason)
