Birds are dinosaurs so it's not as weird as the bear.

You mean the Dactyls? Yes those are dinosaur...birds. I'm talking actual on the GROUND dinosaurs like that mount.

I mean, T-Rexes are supposedly ancestors of the chicken, so... I dunno what to tell you. Maybe the T-Rex mount might pull a pair of ginormous chocobo feathers out of thin air, becase game logic, and flap them like comically oversized wings. That's what I'd do, at least, for reasoning behind the dinosaurs' flight.

I need to stop questioning video game logic...my brain hurts already.

- The fact that Elezens' long necks don't snap as soon as they turn their heads with any amount of weight on them
- Lalafells
- How Fishing retainers are able to retrieve items after performing leagues better in 24man raids than most pe-- On second thought, scratch this one.

That's just to name a few.

No! Birds are literally dinosaurs!

"The scientific question of within which larger group of animals birds evolved, has traditionally been called the origin of birds. The present scientific consensus is that birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs that originated during the Mesozoic Era.[1]"
