about last point... why i've to spend 3000 Seal for a chocobo (with minimum requirements) when there is a goobbue free for all? this not kill chocoby? (for new player) ;__;

You will be able to do much much more with your choco

I don't think so. Unless Goobbues get gear and will fight in battles, chocobos will remain on top.

Goobbues are for travel and when implemented chocoes are for fight.

We asked Yoshida about the reasoning behind making the goobbue mount so easy to obtain. Here are a few of his reasons for this decision:

• The mount is only available for a limited time
• Players that only play as Disciples of the Land and Hand were taken into consideration
• While it's easy for veteran players to obtain, we also considered new players that would want to start playing because they can receive a goobbue

Yoshida also mentioned that future mounts won't be so easy to obtain, so prepare yourselves! Another thing to pay attention to is what our friend the Wandering Minstrel actually says about it when you obtain it.

This game doesn't need to be turned into Final World of Fantasy Warcraft Online with 1000000 mounts that all do the same thing and are for aesthetics only... k... thx

Not everyone will have access to Goobbues either. Only players in 2012.

Nvmd idk what I was thinking... *stops-interacting-with-the-mass-hysteria-cultists*

So why should I be limited to one bird as a mount? Some of us like variety, especially Magitek Armor. Chocobos are not the only thing characters in the FF series has ridden.

Anyone care to ride the shoopuf?

I think people need to look at the Goobue as a gift and not as a challenge. The intent is to reward you for sticking with them in the game. Or rather, my guess is that they are thanking you for not quitting after billing happened. You all decided to take it the wrong way, and decided to get mad over misleading yourself.

Wandering Minstrel:
Ne'er till land consumes sun can sea bear moons,
Heavens spew crimson flame, hells seep black dooms.

I have walked the four corners of Hydaelyn, from the Gardens
of Xarakish, to the floating lakes of Voor Sian Siran, but never in my travels have I encountered such a fell prophecy. One need not to be an oracle to prevues the great ill which casts a shadow across this forsaken realm.

Yet… perhaps there is still hope for Eorzea.

When I arrived in this land, I was beset with peril day and night- forced to endure countless trials which tested my mind, my body, and my faith. And I am not ashamed to admit that I would have faltered, had it not been for the help of a handful of nameless adventures much like yourself. Honest men and women who proffered the hand of friendship to a weary soul and led him safe from the darkness.

I pondered long over how I could repay the kindness shown me…only to find the answer in the most unlikely of places- the final verse of the selfsame song that had so haunted me since my first days in Eorzea:

Souls from aether far, strangers from strange lands,
Yester with thine eyes, morrow by thine hands.

Had the gods led me to Eorzea for a reason? Might I serve a higher purpose, through which lives might be saved and order restored to the realm? I hoped that it might be so. For what better use may a man's life be put to than to serve as an agent of divine intervention? …But in what manner was I to play my part?

Seeking an answer, I prayed for twelve days and twelve nights until at last I collapsed of exhaustion. However, it was this moment that I was blessed with a vision- a single-horned beast leading a flock of chocobos from a burning forest. When I awoke from my revert, I knew what I must do.

Once, long ago, I was summoned to a wealthy satrapy far to the east to play in the royal court. When my performance was complete, the High Satrap was so moved that he offered me anything I desired in exchange for one more song. I humbly accepted, and for my reward requested knowledge of a secret that had been kept by the satrapy's military for generations- their method of taming gobbles.

Needles to say, the High Satrap was initially reluctant to grant me that which I had requested, but being an honest man, ever conscious of his obligation to set an example before his subjects, he soon relented and acquiesced to my terms. Since that time, I have kept his nation's secret, but now believe that as the sixth sun wanes and seventh moon waxes, it is mete that I should pass it on in hopes that the knowledge may be made to serve us all.

<<<You obtain a key item: a goobbue horn.>>>

With this horn, may you lead us from despair, and help usher in a new age. I put my trust in you, adventurer. Do not let me down.

Personally I was much more interested in his mentions of the Gardens
of Xarakish and the floating lakes of Voor Sian Siran because it kinda reminds me of Sky/Sea from XI-
It seems a bit weird he's wanting to pass knowledge. Like he thinks he'll die in the next era or something and the fact he thinks that knowing how to summoning a goobbie will help us EL OH EL. (I'm all for it if my goobue can help me build my home faster in 2.0 /joke)

But who knows take what you will from it and Enjoy~ x3

Thanks cause I definitely didn't read this the first time.....intended too but then i seen the other 12 people running around on their goobbues. Does it really say gobbles ingame? lol

[Picoman]

I sense some truly epic zones coming in 2.0. I hope the Gardens and Floating Lakes mentioned make an appearance too!
