I know this is a quite far away option, but what u think if the new server was ready to use a system to move free in the air too?

Like this post if you think Square-Enix MUST BE PREPARED for the possibility of implementing it.

Not only that, the development team must prepare 2.0 for flying in order to have truly flying monsters! I understand a bomb or a fly swarm hovering, but a bird? an arihman? Come on.
Monsters should be able to truly fly in 2.0, only certain type of monsters to hover above the ground. It will add to combat dynamic because flying monsters will be able to reach all the terrain rapidly and could go out of reach of melee players without throwing attacks (making throw and ranged attacks much more prized to have).

Just like it is considered a huge flaw by today's standard to not have the ability to jump (among other things), not having true flight would be deadly to FFXIV's reputation in 2.0.
