    Yol mount could fix

    Yes Yol is pretty mount. But, bothered me.

    Yol can't touch their feet on the ground when stand or runs
    All time "floating"...

    Would make Yol's animation like Lanner or Bennu mount


    (Sorry english don't my native. But, I want saying)

    Based on their proportions and the way the wings were modeled, i'd say they would look absolutely ridiculous running around on the ground. Just think of them as a great frigate bird, a species that stays airborne for months on end without landing to sleep, only to mate and nest

    Yeah this is the reason why I don't ride mine very often, and why I won't ride my firebird often when I get it.

    Give the poor birdies' wings a break! D:

    They do kind of look like they were never modeled with walking on the ground in mind.

    I suppose there is hope, though, considering that wyverns never had ground animations originally, but ended up getting them later in HW.

    tbh i would love a C-pose for mounts, so the birds could be standing or flying on the spot. horses could pose, just something really

    He has said before English isn't his Native [Or maybe you can tell lol.]
    I also just hate when people make fun of others English.
    It's very rude. :/

    I tend to be rather a stickler for proper English, at least for using it myself, but I make a point of not automatically assuming that it's someone's native language after they have made a mistake. As someone still struggling to master a second language (Brazilian Portuguese) as an adult, I have a hell of a lot of sympathy for people in the same situation with English.

    On topic-
    A lot of mounts float/hover instead of walking when in non-flying zones. I never gave it much thought but just assumed that the devs didn't have time or inclination to put it in. It would be odd to see the Yol walk though, with those stubby little legs of theirs there is no way they could stride like a chocobo. They would have to hop everywhere like a sparrow or finch.
