Give us dragon riding!

[DeNada]

We've seen from the new WOW reveal that there will be a new flight mechanic which is not actually true flight but will involve physical forces - momentum, gravity and the like.

Having come to FF14 from GW2, they have similar flying mounts as well where flight is really fun and not just a way to travel from point A to B in a straight line while ignoring all terrain restrictions.

Please give us similar flight mechanics for 7.0 or earlier so instead of having to travel everywhere on foot again, we can fly (but limited and fun)!

I saw the word limited and nearly panicked.
Technically they could do more with our chocobo but…. Yeah.

[hagare]

if they do this, I'm heading straight to the shop and buying cruise chaser.
Just so I can do a dive on it xD

Really bad idea, it's enough that WoW is now desperate enough to copy other MMOs but you don't have to make everything the same actually. If you like the GW2 systems then go play GW2, it's a crazy revolutionary idea i know but you can actually play...two MMOs!

FF14 has easy to access flight and that is good, same as the GW2 system is good.

So please stop with the "I play this MMO now so i have to change it into what i liked about this other MMO" attitude. Just play the other MMO then.

I'm waiting for the Dragonriding system to end up another one of WoW's crash and burn failures when it turns out you'll need to grind some weird dragon energy feed for 6 months before your dragon can do more than plummet nose-down into the ground.

FFXIV also doesn't have the zone design for such a system to be interesting. Top of the skybox is already fairly low and we don't have the seamless zone transitions that WoW has.

I would love to ride those Budugas-- oh, you mean those WoW Dragon? Meh it sucks IMO.

[Ranaku]

Meh it sucks IMO.

This entire game would not exist in its current state if it hadn't heavily borrowed from WoW. Yoshida has said in no uncertain terms. I don't really mind them borrowing good aspects of other games.
