Final Fantasy XIV: How to Get Flying Mounts in Heavensward

Flying mounts are introduced in Heavensward, revealed at the Fan Festival in London 2014. Flying Mounts allow the players to take to the sky and roam the areas of Heavensward freely. Many of the previously ground mounts, such as Company Chocobo, will be able to fly. Players can only fly in locations in Heavensward such as Ishgard and Coerthas Western Highlands.
