As I plan to continue playing this game as long as I can continue to level up, and perhaps after that to level up other classes (I am presently a lancer, samurai wannabe) I would like to get a flying mount as soon as is reasonably possible. I have done some googling about this, but most of what I read is old (2015 to 2016) and decided to post the question here to get current suggestions from current players.

With the ability to fly directly to the spot I want to get to, and to move at twice the speed of a ground mount, it seems to me that getting a flying mount as soon as possible is worth the effort. And the flying chocobo mount will be fine for me as I don't care how it looks, unless perhaps some of the fancy ones can fly faster.

Is it worthwhile to specifically pursue the quests required to gain access to a flying mount, and then specifically pursue the quests needed to attune to the aether currents in each zone where flying is allowed?

Or do you recommend that I just do MSQ's and level up and eventually I will be able to fly?

Thank you for your help!

You will get flying soon you finish some MSQ. Unlike WoW you have to pay 1000g to unlock flying as luxury back in the days and 250g for a mount - those are heavy grinding days.
