I just headcanon it as ground mounts being buffeted along the wind aether streams I unlocked. They're not flying, they're getting swept up in a controlled magical hurricane of my own making.
When did 99% of those mounts come out? Not Endwalker. Thank you for completely missing my point, I want NEW mounts that don't look ridiculous flying, yes I know there are alraedy such in the game, but they have a habit which has continued into EW to release mounts that don't make any sense whatsoever to be able to fly and just look silly doing so.
Also most of those mounts are just terrible. Especially the EW Lynxes with their disprortionately tiny heads, or the Gwibers which are far too small for anything but Lalas.
Come on down to Cid's Magitek(tm) and Clockwork Emporium!Also, on the matter with the "lol its aether, i dont have to explain **** why a Elephant can fly" excuse, if you really want to cover lore on this, kerp in mind that the overall density of Aether is fading as stated at the beginning of Endwanker, that alone could be made as a valid enough reason why certain Mounts cant fly anymore.
I mean, there's a billion and one reasons for there to be flying and non-flying mounts. It could be as simple as not getting just one aether current, which.. we've all considered passing up due to how much of a pain it can be.. or it can boil down to the fact that we're in a game that has a certain element of Fantasy to it. To each their own.
I can understand wanting more and bigger dragon mounts, that's perfectly valid. But wanting all mounts you personally find silly looking to be grounded which would be a huge pain for everyone liking any one of those mounts is just childish and petty.
