Dev Request: Update on flying primal horses

[JunseiKei]

Was it even confirmed the primal steeds would fly? I only recall them saying Fenrir, Adamantoise and Kirin would fly. Everything I search mentions this as well; primal horses were never confirmed to fly.

Hopefully if they do this, they give them Pegasus wings instead of light wings like Kirin has. I suppose wings made out of the element they represent could be cool, but they need to be actual flapping wings.

Nooooo

I like the light wings

I remember talk about it (similar to the Tank Mounts, actually), just never was a timetable for it (again...like the Tank Mounts. Where's my Skybear...)

"Ahriman and Bomb mount (from Kobolds) as well as primal horses will all fly. First one to fly will be Kirin."

That very well might be a case of misinterpretation by the original interviewer and a mistranslation of that statement.

Flying elemental ponies may never have been in the plans.

Thank you for posting this! I knew I had read that, just couldn't provide the original source after all this time.

That may very well be the case. But, I would really appreciate if a DEV could respond because there are people (you're talking to one of them) that are under the impression all the primal horses would get to fly. They made the stupid turtle fly, why not these magical horses made out of elemental energy?

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. Possibly; I'm having a hard time figuring out what 蛮神馬 is. Savage/barbarian horse, but I have a hard time gathering if the sentence, 蛮神馬マウントも飛ぶ。, is referencing multiples or just one. If it's just one, then they were just speaking about Kirin. まずは麒麟が飛べるように？ is asking if Kirin is even capable of flight. Considering it's being asked if Kirin is even capable, not all of them, leads me to believe the first sentence was in singular reference, not plural. アーリマンやボム、蛮神馬マウントも飛ぶ。 on its own, it says "Ahriman, bomb and barbarian horse also fly." It doesn't really make it sound like multiple horses.

'Cause it's a reference to Gamera; they even fly the same way. Kaiju are popular.

Please no... or at least a reduced version of this. I recently got Fenrir (like literally about 2 weeks ago when he could already fly) and was very disappointed that every time he flies, I pretty much go blind as there are so many particles covering the screen... (may be related to being a lalafell, but I don't think so)

I love my fenrir. I absolutely abhor that particle effect for that exact reason.
