Could the new Graphic Engine support flight?

[BenjiTulia]

Hello, here's my (Final) Fantasy for FFXIV 2.0:

Since Final Fantasy 9 players are no longer able to freely fly around in airships/chocobos in a FF game.
I think rebuilding graphical engine for 2.0 is a great oppurtunity to reintroduce this feature back into series.

I understand this is a difficult task, but I'm sure there are more people than just me who would enjoy flying in their golden chocobos . Afterall, game often mentioned in these forums and also by FFXIV developers, World of Warcraft, has this feature and it is the most enjoyable part for me and adds a lot to gaming experience.

Thank for your time reading this!

Well from what i've heard, in a past interview Yoshi had said that the graphic engine for 2.0 would be mostly complete by December 2011.So unless they had started with the intention for flight, i doubt it could be added now, least with the base zones of 2.0. Maybe something we could see in a expansion

Personally I doubt it will happen, but we'll see.

It would be a cool additon, but i dont really see a need for it. As long as they make airships real time I will be more than pleased.

I think any 3D engine can support flight. It is just a matter of whether their 3D environments support it.
In FFXI, if you are able to fly, you'll see holes (a lot of them) from the sky. This is to save on in-game geometry but cutting out what is not used.

Too many people like to try and break things myself included but I don't complain when something does break. Think of how many people will be going nuts over stuff looking weird cause they flew too high or getting stuck. Too much trouble for it to be worth it.

In the last video that I seen with the live feedback (over an hour long), They did show a demo of flying mounts (like the dodore type mount), so I would not rule this idea out completely as it does seem that Yoshi is or might be heading towards that direction.
