    You need to realize that in FFXIV Version 2.0 that the game world is not going to be seamless. We're going to be broken back up in to zones like in FFXI for the sake of game stability and area diversity. My point is that having a flying mount once 2.0 hits will be pointless.

    I believe we need to get rid of Anima. I think Aetheryte's need to be used to get from one zone to the next. So if you need to get to Camp Horizon but you're on the outskirts of Camp Bloodshore, you'll need to return to the Camp Bloodshore Aetheryte to be able to select Camp Horizon as a teleport destination. They could even monetize the system to help out the already broken economy.

    Recap, Flying in 2.0 will not work. Require teleports to be made at Aetheryte's for Gil, not Anima.

    yeh that is true, the maps will be too small, even now they are to small for flying mounts, there is to much "out of bounds" and "invisible walls" currently, like you cant fall of mountains to your death, cant even jump so you're very much tied to the ground. I garauntee even if jump is added there wont be fall damage as they'd be still tons of "invisible walls".

    Aion had this issue so it let you only fly in certain areas otherwise its just "gliding" and they made a full zone dedicated to allow flying but ofc it has a limit. Other games with freedom like wow have huge zones so theres really no out of bounds.
