    We've not had an endgame zone where we can mount up freely and "show off" (not that mounts have much value but it's still nice) our grinds since Rhalgr's Reach back in Stormblood. I understand why Eulmore and Radz would perhaps have disallowed this in terms of logistics since they are very enclosed spaces in comparison, and I understand that S9 is in fact in doors, but in terms of space it does not have this issue at all and even has flying bikes and stuff visible in the skybox. It feels like very wasted potential to not allow us to mount up again in an endgame zone. Perhaps flying wouldn't be necessary, but mounting at any speed would be very welcome..
    While the map is vast, it is quite empty with nothing out there save a small square with vendors that’s even smaller than the useful zones in Eulmore and Radz. When I have to go there, I just teleport, click on the Aetheryte and select Nexus. In Rhalgr's Reach and Idyllshire things like vendors, custom deliveries, scrips were further apart. The zone adjacent to Idyllshire, the Dravanian Hinterlands also does not have aetherytes and entering from Idyllshire is the fastest method.
