[Suggestion] Airship Mounts from VA Story

[Nanopizza]

Many of you may recall, there are two airship (manacutter like ones) models that are exclusive to the Heavensward 24 man raid series.

I had been wondering if we would get them as rewards from the conclusion of the raid series, but sadly now that that story has ended and it didn't happen. So, i've been wondering, SE, would it be possible to make these two mounts available to players? They are already modeled assets that would be pretty easy to make an actual mount, they're basically a manacutter re-skins so I wouldn't imagine them being hard or expensive to implement.

I would love to see these made available to players, even if it was a cash shop mount, or maybe they could even be made rewards for Diadem 2.0, that'd give me even more incentive to try it out!

Either way, I'm curious to see how many other people would like this and thought i'd suggest it here.

even if it was a cash shop mount,

Run! Run while you can!



I do like them though.

Great idea. I'd love to have them as mounts.

The red airship is Leofard's personal airship, which has a bit of a story behind it (and isn't really obtainable anymore, for obvious reasons, if you've finished the Mhach story).

The black one seems to be the standard Redbill airship though, and there probably wouldn't be much in the way of adding it. I'd like that one, at least, since it doesn't have that huge sail that's on the mana cutter.

I do get this yes, but I don't think it's enough of a reason to not make it available to players, I get that it has some story but i'm sure lore-wise there's no reason why they couldn't have made multiple of those types of airships.

Leofard personally built that airship, so I don't think there's actually more than one of them, it's unique. The black one isn't, since it seems to be the standard Redbills airship, so having that as a reward seems fine to me.

Nero also hand-modified and extensively created his red magitek armor, yet we can have 100's of them running around on screen at once.

When it comes to player mounts/minions, you basically can hand-wave anything. "This airship is an exact replica of Leofard's personal airship, which <insert lore behind ship here>"

That being said, I would absolutely love to see mounts based off those airship designs in-game.

[Nanopizza]

That is true, by the same token, there was supposedly one red magitek yet there are 100s of those walking about Eorzea now :P
I understand the lore/story reason and get the argument there though, I would at least like to see the standard redbill one (I probably prefer that one a little bit anyway)

Standard run-of-the-mill redbill airship would be cool. Like an extra thanks for saving everyone. Leofard did state the standard ones were commisioned by the ironsworks company i think.

Would very much like one of the Redbill's Sail-less airships.
