Aerial Battles

[Discussion]

After I was able to fly around with my chocobo, I thought maybe SE should implement aerial combat. I think that would be awesome. If not maybe do an event like flying chocobo's and so forth. So what do you guys think?

It's doable, hell you could make a flying dungeon, where you ride dragons with special abilities. (Don't do this, it bombed in WoW, as much as I absolutely loved that dungeon)

They've had the tech for vehicle combat since 2.0, as evidenced in the Praetoreum.

Aw man, I loved that dungeon too, especially because you could pick a role other than that of your actual character

It was so fun, so was the fight against Malygos.

Fun in a premade, absolutely fucking infuriating when you pop it from Dungeon Finder. There's a reason most people instantly dropped from group if they got it from DF.

Ever do the dungeon in a pug? It was so hit or miss.

oh god it was horrible in pugs. but i still loved it :P

loved it almost as much as the culling of stratholme (that dungeon touched my inner WC3 Junkie).

You know, you just gave me an idea. I doubt SE would ever implement it, but imagine a Caverns of Time for FFXIV, or basically more Minstrel's Ballad, but giving us Extreme 4 man dungeons.

Literal hard modes of current fights, like Savage Coil.

With the whole FC Airship stuff I was kinda hoping we'd actually get to use them in combat or something. I don't think it would be to difficult to develop and it'd give people something to do besides wail on trash mobs and bosses all day.

Maybe if we ever get water combat, but doing it on mounts would just trivialize the content entirely.

Well the game ArcheAge has naval combat which would be a cool idea in FFIXV, but since they already implemented the flying I think that should be the next step. Maybe start out as an event with chocobo's racing and lead into something else.

We can't even ride up an elevator without people clipping through the floor, I wonder how SE will manage to implement something like that where we are moving on something.

Please no. It'd be fucking Quidditch with all those brooms.
