Angel mount

[VickyGirl]

In POTD we can turn into angel with resolution. I was thinking it would be really nice to have a mount kind of like that where we get wings on our back and fly around like an angel lol. Just like keep our same character look though just add the wings and that would be the mount

I never did understand this mentality. Why is not wanting to be shackled by lore of the world and just wanting to have silly fun with outfits such a bad thing.

Because it looks extremely tacky.

What looks tacky to one doesn't to another.

I do doubt that SE will give us wings. We've flying mounts aplenty.

I can name plenty of tacky, gaudy glamor pieces, weapons especially here in FFXIV. Those however are praised, or at the very least tolerated. That's part of what I don't get. The other half being someone mentions a fun silly lore breaking glamor it is immediately met with critisism of the usual replies "its not FF" or "those dang Korean games!" yet so many topics come up of people asking for...fun different or lore breaking glamors. Bunny suits for men come to mind and its met with praise. While those exact options are...in those dang Korean games for the most part. Coupled with threads complaining of "Oh...another robe glamor". I wonder if Blitzball becomes a thing and the glamor reward for playing happens to be something akin to a baseball or basketball outfit if it will be praised or burned at the stake since Korean games put in similar outfits for no other reason other then "just because"

It's simple. How would you feel if you went out on a walk (in real life) and noticed people all around in the most ridiculous costumes in the middle of a perfectly normal day?! If your friend, that you wanted to play some cards with in the park, came in a pig outfit, and brought along his girlfriend in a little fairy outfit coupled with a magical wand?! Sure, there are times, like Halloween or various cosplay events, when that's perfectly normal and all. But on an everyday basis, it is just...an eyesore.

And though I am not one supporting making that an offense in real life, and I understand that there are games where large part of the community wants that, I'd appreciate at least story-heavy games like Final Fantasy series to have that stuff to the minimum, so that I can actually imagine it as a concise world as I play it. Of course, it's just my "wish" that there ain't no way would be realized, but the notion of wanting that remains and it's an answer to your question as to why some people have that mentality.

I wouldn't argue with it. As long as they look decent and are not over the top. If people don't like it, they don't have to use em :3

I'm personally opposed, but the main retort these forums use to people not wanting certain novelty items is "Dun use it den". So eh.

A good argument against any particular gear is "it breaks the art style and looks weird against everything else"...
which WAS a valid argument.. till I got my little yokai glowy gocart mount and cartoony weapons. With that already in there it's hard to argue against anything else.

honestly I dont see them everywhere anymore but when i do it does yank me out of my little RPG flow.

but now the floodgates have been opened, why deny someone something they want ? especially if you can make it within the artstyle of the game.
