My character disappears when she uses the Rising Phoenix mount

Oh, ok, then I'm not gonna use the mount then .

Edit: It feels weird that my character turns into a Phoenix, like the devs didn't want to have them sit on it because it's too difficult to make work and so they resort to this.

This is very possible lol, but the ‘Phoenix morph’ also seems like a reference to ff16. I guess it’s also suppose to reflect the events during the calamity and how Phoenix appeared. But yeah it’s probably more likely that they just couldn’t figure out a way for the characters to sit on it properly lol

Still, personally I think it’s fun to fly around as a Phoenix, and it gives it something that distinguishes it from other mounts too.

Highly unlikely, considering the Rising Phoenix mount uses the same model as the Firebird mount, as well as the Sunforged mount (while in flight). Both have your character model shown.
