New Mounts & Ideas to add more flavor

[Arlan]

I have Played FFXi for 6 years, and I would like to say that the game has evolved a lot. There are people who welcome the changes and there are people who don't.

This game is 9 years old, and I'm aware that FF series, main method of transportations are: Chocobos, Airships, teleports, warps, and Boats.

It is nice that this game tries to keep it's Final Fantasy theme by limiting to those transportations only, but who truly likes to be limited in general? Don't get me wrong, some limitations are GOOD for keeping game balance, But some Limitations can also limit the flavors that can be added to keep the game's interest flowing.

There are many things SE can add to FFXi to make it continue to stand out. There are many potentials in this game that we have not yet tapped. Yes, this game is very old but that doesn't mean more flavors and contents cannot be added to the game.

The PS2 may be Limited to this game, but this game is Not limited to the PS2.
SE chooses to deal with PS2 issues, or chooses to drop the PS2 support is ultimately their choice in how they want to deal with that.

But in this thread, I want to discuss how new mounts can add flavors never before seen to ffxi and the thrills people can have in the world of Vanadiel!

Imagen DRGs at lvl99 finally having their wyverns matured, and now can be used to fly around places they want to go. The idea of using their wyverns will be like using a personal Airship that you don't have to wait for to use and travel around to, from ANYWHERE to ANY "Port Cities" AND "OutPosts! That's right, You cannot controll your wyvern to fly you places manually. The wyvern flies you to places As if you where riding an Airship but on your Dragon! The Wyvern will be limited to taking you to any Port Cities like Port sandy, Port windy, etc. Or Any Outposts that you already may have! The Wyvern's speed to getting from place [A] to Place is based on how far the player is. It shouldn't take longer than 2-3min to get to Xcabard - Bastok for example. (This idea and limit I present as an example to keep game balance of course. So you won't be able to go Everywhere without having to do some running around or chocoboing)

Imagen BST at lvl99, finally being able to ride their own pets! Of course not all pets should be ridable since it be too crazy to see a BST riding on his pet rabbit! haha! But what if. BST could ride a Water type pet, like the squid looking one, and to make it unique, the BST can ride their water type pets to go across obstacles such as Lakes that a player would normally have to run around it (since you can't swim in ffxi). Wouldn't that be interesting to have? Of course we should give it the same speed as the chocobo has and these pets can't be the same pets you use to fight monsters. The BST mounts must be raised as if you would raise a chocobo to keep it interesting, and having different verities of water type pets as used in my example.

Imagen SMN lvl99, finally being able to ride on FENRIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much faster than the chocobo, but you can make Fenrir use BPs and attack while you are riding him! When Fenrir engages in combat while you are on him, Fenrir's speed reduces to the same speed as if you where running without a pet. When you Make fenrir disengage while still on him, it will take 3min for Fenrir to retain his running speed again (This is to avoid kiting with Fenrir method of course). Don't want to break game balance but still want to make it interesting to have a pet to ride and do stuff with.

Imagen PUP lvl99, having their own special Puppet to ride on! Their puppet can look like a mechanical Spider while the master rides on top of it's back! Same speed as chocobo but It can climb Mountains that are not reachable or difficult to reach mountains/hills to a normal player. Remember CoP Mountain Climbing in Attohwa Chasm? Yup! You can use it to climb Mountains like that with the Puppet's Mount!
Something that Looks kinda like this:

Hell, Maybe they can have unique Mounts available to Ride for each job's fitting. Like a job specific pet! I dont know These are Just Ideas of Job specific Mounts We could have and use! lol

Maybe in the Next New Expansion pack, SE might make new zones to explore and add new enviorments where COR can finally own their own Small boat that can fit 1-6 people in and use it to travel to places from seas like the BST's Water type pets? I dont know. But all I do know is there are lots of ideas out there that are good if not better and I'd like to hear them!

Do NOT Limit your ideas on "Technical issues" that the Dev. may have to implement this game. It doesn't matter if your ideas may be impossible to add to the world of Vanadiel. Remember, YOU ARE NOT THE DEV!!
YOU ARE A GAMER, AND A CUSTOMER,
The Only thing You need to do is Play your game and let your Thoughts, and Voices be heard!

Let the Dev team figure out the technical side of the game. We pay to play a game that is designed to evolve as time goes by! I'ts an MMO After all! Lets help it grow!


Please Start sharing Your own ideas and thoughts!
Be open and free to express and Do not Limit yourself on ideas and thoughts! =)

As if my head needed another desk imprint

[Tarage]

This isn't WoW. We don't need mounts. Shut up.

[Arlan]

This isn't WoW. We don't need mounts. Shut up.

Oh no! My Fanboy senses are tangling!!!
While we at it, lets call all MMO games out there in history, BEFORE and AFTER WoW, "A WoW clone!"

If you exp, it's WoW!
If you level up, It's WoW!
If you have Mounts, It's Wow!
If you have equipments, It's WoW!
If there is Endgames, It's WoW!
If there is PvP, it's WoW!
If there is an AH, It's WoW!
If there is Guilds/LS, It's WoW
If there is deep character customizations, it's WoW
If it is an MMORPG, it is WoW!!!!!

I can keep going on!

WoW is a very popular and very successful MMORPG out there in the WORLD!
I DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE THE GAME OR HATE IT! ITS DARN SUCCESSFUL WITH or WiTHOUT YOU!

But there are other great games out there like FFXI as well!
Instead of being negative nancy, why don't you come up with your own ideas of what could add some more flavors to the game that the game doesn't have?

And Before you "ASSUME", No I never played WoW, and I probably won't since Im a Console gamer and I don't play on PC cause I don't own one nor will I just to play a video game.

The Mounts I described are unique because you HAVE to be that job in order to use them. This is making FFXi Jobs with pets or so stand out! More Options = More contents. Content is King!

If you don't like the idea, thats fine, you have your opinion, But don't tell me to "shut up" and then bring WoW into this discussion. We are talking about FFXI and New possible mounts that can add some nice Flavor to the game!

To each is to their own!

[Tamoa]

No thanks, I don't particularly want SE to spend their time on stuff like this. I'd much MUCH rather have them work on a new expansion, new storyline, new content (as in events), and on how to improve old content (I miss Einherjar).

[Reiterpallasch]

If you don't mind me asking, how are you posting your brilliant ideas?

[Seyrena]

I think I can imagine better ways to add spice to the game.
And with better spelling, too.

Me too but I think we both know they aren't going to do that anyway, best we are going to get are small fixes and cheap content. I can't see another full expansion, ever and I'd be suprised if we get any mini-expansions either.

As for OP I don't have a problem with mounts really, it's quite a fun aspect of WoW. We already had it implemented in FFXI though with chocobo raising, all they need to do is fix that making the resulting chocos as good as normal ones and more variety.

Dont be closed minded.
This thread has nothing to do with all the things you listed.
I bet it be fun to have these new mounts + new storyline, expansions and content. But stick with main topic plz.

I agree. But it would be really Fun and exciting if you could ride job specific pets, like the examples with DRG, BST,Pup and SMN I presented that all have a different ways of traveling. Chocobos are all nice and all, but it would be better if we were not limited to just chocobos as pets we can ride. Different kinds of pets that only specific jobs can ride and raise could really make the game interesting because it would be based on jobs that makes it unique.

[Tamoa]

I think I'd die laughing at the sight of a pup riding on his automaton...

Seriously though, I barely even need to use chocobos anymore, with abyssea warp npcs and all OPs done, and with blm and whm @ lvl 90.

[Arlan]

Still nice to have.
And yes, the pup idea is very funny but yet, really cool. pup af3 gear riding his mechanical spider mount kinda reminded me of the joker in batman for some reason. lol idk what else to think of but thats the first thing to pop in my head that looks like it can work.

pup mount that can climb on hills and mountains are very useful tho. Specially inside abyssea were there are hills and mountain. Makes it really fun to have something to ride across certain obstacles with certain job specific mounts for short cuts and speed. Always nice to have more options in game. it brings more life to the game.

[Arlan]

The flying mount idea for DRG's wyvern is sick tho. Wyvern can Fly you to Any OPs you have or Port cities you visited before. I like it lots lol. You can be anywere u want and just call out your giant dragon for the ride in w/e destination you select.

[Buffy]

I use a chocobo like once a week. Horst and the resulting outpost warps that he makes accessible warps me everywhere I need to be.

[Rosalie]

I like how OP is either completely trolling or wants to be taken seriously but is so spineless that he can't list his character other than a sockpuppet mule.

If it's the first one, you need more emotes in your post! If it's the second one, that's just sad.

And if you can't be bothered to make synergy warp earrings, well you don't deserve to get anywhere quickly.

[Arlan]

You guys are completely ignorant...
My ideas is to give flavor to the game.

On DRG, I like to ride my dragon to OPs or Port Cities, cause it is fun and it makes DRG Unique!
On PUP, I like to ride my Mechanical Puppet, because it's fun to ride things across mountains and hills that others can't.
On BST, I like to ride a Water type pet that can hover across lakes and rivers that other char can't go across.

I'm sure there are more we can think of but apparently I'm dealing with ignorant people who miss the point completely, then you got some noob calling me a troll because I refuse to show people in my forum who my main char is.

Look, This is suppose to be something for fun! If they did added all this idea I mentioned to the game, I bet people WOULD and WILL use these Mounts for short cuts in abyssea and outside abyssea, and in WotG! Those who don't, will miss out on short cuts and the experience in riding your own unique job specific pet for your own benefit.

Maybe they should get RID of Airships in this game because rarely anyone uses them since we have OPs, Horst warp, teleports and chocobos? Only Limit Airshops for Kazham? Lets get rid of the "Little things" that adds flavor to the game and put in things that are ONLY NEEDED! let's get RID of chocobo Raising completely since they are useless and rentals are quicker and much cheaper!

Seriously!?

Sometimes you just got to enjoy the "small things". Cause the Small things do count even if you don't notice them.




I'm sure you guys would appreciate these new mounts if they where added in the features.
But since it's not, some of you guys or most who post in this thread remain to be close minded and uncreative individuals.

[Finuve]

you realize a mac is still a personal computer...an overpriced personal computer but still a personal computer

[Kojo]

I'd just ask for custom Choco armor reflecting one's job. But the "This is not WoW." thing was my first thought.

[Arlan]

Really why does that even matter? Why bring it up in this thread?
My personal computer for my personal reasons.
That is all you need to know.

[Arlan]

This does NOT have to be WoW!
Adding mounts for job specific does not make this game WoW!
It only gives us more options to have for pets that are unique to the FFXi Jobs we have.

Having custom choco armor to reflect one's own Job is a good idea!
They should add that as well!
But I personally like to ride my own Wyvern as a Dragoon or my own custom puppet as a Puppetmaster to places a chocobo cannot reach quick enough because of short cuts I mentioned. I like having unique pet jobs to be more than just fighting pets, but to be a mount as well.

It gets boring being limited to Chocobos as mounts... I'm not a FF fanboy so I am not obsess with chocobos.
I like more choices in pets in the world of Valandiel that specific jobs like BST, PUP, SMN, DRG has etc!

Just makes it more fun and unique to raise different pets than being LIMITED to only chocobos..
Having something new with lots of choices is always good!

[Korpg]

Imagen SMN lvl99, finally being able to ride on FENRIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much faster than the chocobo, but you can make Fenrir use BPs and attack while you are riding him! When Fenrir engages in combat while you are on him, Fenrir's speed reduces to the same speed as if you where running without a pet. When you Make fenrir disengage while still on him, it will take 3min for Fenrir to retain his running speed again (This is to avoid kiting with Fenrir method of course). Don't want to break game balance but still want to make it interesting to have a pet to ride and do stuff with.


I'm sorry, but this has got to be the stupidest idea in the history of stupid ideas, and there have been some whoppers (melee SMN, taking away avatar auto-attack, DRKs nuking, etc).

[Venat]

I just Bought FFXI on Steam to use on my PC. My PS2 so outdated.

If they keep PS2 support they gotta bring FFXI to Playstation Vista. The game really lacking players and and adding another consule to FFXI would support the game. Add 1000-2000+ players on each server. Playerbase would double and hopefully bring back more of a future for FFXI.

The game getting old and dieing slowly. We need to take action now.

-.- right, PC stands for "Personal Computer"... eh.
when You mentioned "PC" I was thinking PC like from Windows instead.
If you say it that way yes I do have a PC.

I guess what I really ment to say is "I don't have Windows Operating system" but I do have "Mac OSX" and I don't use my mac for gaming. And I don't own a Windows Computer to play games which Majority of the games are played at.

I use my mac for my own personal reasons.

Is that better? Sorry for my misunderstandings from That matter.

That part was sarcasm though, sorry, should have done it last I guess.

Sorry, lol
I kinda rushed that one...
I wasn't too sure how to make smn unique when riding Fenrir.
But I'm sure you might come up with a better and more unique idea! =)

If you got better ideas on How to ride fenrir and make them different like PUP, BST, DRG that I mentioned, plz do share cause I'll love to see what you have in mind!

[Korpg]

Sorry, lol

I'll ask you this: What is the point in having all these "mounts" in the first place?

[Arlan]

I'll ask you this: What is the point in having all these "mounts" in the first place?

What is the Point in having Chocobo Raising in the 1st place?
What is the point in having an Airship that takes you to cities to Jeuno and vise versa? (Kazham excluded)
What is the point in Having "Event Holidays" in ffxi?
What is the point in having "Pankration" in ffxi?



The point is: It adds flavor, it expands on people's choices and ultimately people's preferences in the world of vanadiel.

If it's something you enjoy and it's fun for you, then do it!
If it's not, then skip it!

It's always nice to have options!

Actually, none of what you are suggesting will help with the jobs at all, and most would actually hurt those jobs.

Plus, what about the jobs that don't have access to pets? Do the become worse off because they don't have movement speed + like some things you are suggesting?

That's where Chocobos come in handy!
Of course Chocobos cannot do the bonus things that I mentioned that Job specific pets/mounts can. That is what makes the Job specific pets unique. After all, pet experts should be getting a bigger advantage. They are as we say "pet experts".

I mean you can have different mounts for all jobs but then it wouldn't make Pet jobs feel too unique.
Know what I mean? Chocobos for standard is good to have but unique mounts for pet jobs will keep FFXi original imo.

[Arlan]

Chocobos take you away from the fight. You want a new job type, that is basically what you are asking for. A "Chocobo Knight" so to speak.

You could ask for that specifically instead of suggestion something stupid, you know.

[Arlan]

Also, it is fun for me to point out flaws in arguments.

Yes I agree, it is fun lol.
But keep in mind, My ideas are NOT absolute!
these are just thoughts poped in my head based on "What if I can do "this" or "this?"

So even tho my idea has some flaws, I'm not arguing it isn't. But I do like to hear what you or others can come up with on new ideas for job specific mounts, or new mounts in general to add flavor to the game.

Personally I get bored of chocobos and I like something new for once to ride around in Vanadiel.

So what do you think is the best way to ride Fenrir?
What are your thoughts on that one?

Is Chocobo Knight really a Job?
Sorry I haven't played other FF games to know lol.

But if it is, I guess I can see where you are coming from. But lets stick with our current pet jobs and how we can make them unique for traveling and fun/interesting ways to ride it.

[Korpg]

Yes I agree, it is fun lol.
But keep in mind, My ideas are NOT absolute!
these are just thoughts poped in my head based on "What if I can do "this" or "this?"

That is when you keep them in your head instead of sharing them to the world and get shot down.

It is better to have people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

If you are going to throw an idea out, at least be behind your idea, instead of trying to run away from other's criticisms on it. Be proud of your idea. And learn that it is better to really think it over instead of throwing it out there without thought.


So what do you think is the best way to ride Fenrir?
What are your thoughts on that one?

I'm not entering into this idea of yours, I think it is stupid.

[Modoru]

Pet Jobs already have an advantage, for the most part.

Like, you know, BST and SMN can kite mobs with pets.

Or, how they can let their pets solo mobs.

Or, how they can use their pets to grab emnity and survive better.

Do I really need to keep posting examples?

The idea of having a "mount" to cross water is a moot idea, because there are no cross-able water paths that would take an eternity to go around via the bridge that's already located somewhere [ie, jugner forest].
If there's a huge water area that doesn't allow you to get somewhere, it's probably there for a reason.

All in all, this doesn't seem like an intuitive idea.

[Arlan]

@Korpg

The point of this thread is for people to come up with new mount ideas like I have that can be interesting for travel.
My ideas are just thoughts poped in my head so I share them and I like to see what others think and what others can come up with that even may be better than my ideas.

I'm proud of my ideas but not to the point of "MY MOUNTING IDEAS ARE BEST AND EVERYONE ELSE's Sucks!" No No no!
That is why I made this thread, to encourage ideas and sharing them for new ways to mount of have different pets to mount with to add some flavor to game.

@Modoru Missing the point,
I'm not talking about advantage in fighting with their pets and their capability doing so.
I'm talking about advantage as in using their own specific pets to travel like across the lakes or Mountain/hills or w/e.
Needs to be interesting while standard mounts remain Chocobos for all jobs.

Keep in mind, This isn't about combat with pets, but mounting with them specifically.

[Modoru]

And YOU are missing my point. You claim that you want to give pet jobs something to stand out. I gave you prime examples of what pet jobs are capable of. Even so, you still dismiss them when they're completely relevant to the topic at hand.

[Bobt]

I'd prefer the pets be similar to chocobos where if you ride them the moment you try to attack something you dismount. Only instead of running off they'd stay at your side ready to fight as if you summoned them.


I think however it would be more interesting to have job specific chocobos. Think chocobo style AF gear that might somehow have effects in chocobo digging/racing

a thief chocobo would have some type of dark assassin look to it and maybe have a higher chance at dodging items in races? A warrior chocobo would have some type of armor and have higher STR? Maybe they change appearances based on what job you see them the most on.

instead of chocobos pet jobs can have their mounts be there pets? It be a thing that makes pet jobs more unique but doesn't effect battles and what not. Though instead of raising a chocobo maybe you get a mystery egg that turns into a tiny sized pet till it grows up to be a ridable monster?

[Meyi]

Just about every MMO has some form of mount.

FFXI included. It's called a chocobo. And if you wish to summon one to your general location, you may raise one and complete a quest for the chocobo whistle. They even come in five delicious colors!

[Panthera]

@Arlan,

I think what people are trying to say is that FFXI is just an online version of the Final Fantasy series, which has certain conventions. Certain jobs and mobs reappear from game to game; they're expected. Even the theme songs for airships and chocobos are similar, with some variation. Final Fantasy games uses both fantasy and science fiction elements, and even cowboys and pirates pop up from time-to-time.

There are certain things that don't happen. If there is fighting in cities, it's the exception rather than the rule; cities are supposed to be safe areas where players can recover, and the story gets moved along. You expect to save your game, or get a new job from crystals; they don't generally try and kill you, although there are exceptions. As a more relevant example, Summoners call Avatars to help in really tough fights; they generally don't ride around on them most of the time.

Are there exceptions? Sure.



I think it's fair to ask to be able to summon Bahamut and Phoenix; as a rule, we've been able to summon them. But asking for things we generally don't get, well... isn't the most productive use of SE's time, or ours.

Thing is, we're free to ask for anything on forums, but that does't mean we should. Some are good ideas; they're germane to the series and this game in particular, and the devs take them to heart. Some are wild, mere idle fancy. Rangers could ask for Laser Guns--and they want to be able to see the beam! But we're not getting them. Ever. Irvine and Berret had them. But we're still not getting them. No. Stop thinking laser guns.

The point is, people want topics that are useful and can be implemented, so the conversation serves a purpose. This topic would not survive a heartbeat under the watch of Ilsa-whatever-his-name-is at BG, and would be rated down into obscurity on Alla, as best as I can remember of that site. I'd call this trolling, but that's giving too much credit. I'm sorry, we deserve better. It's not that this isn't WoW. The problem is that this idea isn't even FFXI.

Yelling in caps like a child, bold letters, and color fonts that serve no purpose won't make people take your idea seriously, when you don't care about it enough yourself to run the spell checker; this isn't really thinking and drawing with the imagination, it's just doodling with words. This idea is merely cosmetic, and doesn't solve problems. Ovjang and Mnejing are not Mudflap and Skids! Want to get up Parradmo Tor? Mule + Nexus Cape. End of discussion. And this subject is too narrow, and only of interest to yourself. Ask people,"If you could change three things, what would they be?" or "what do you want not changed." I mean, I'd love to ride around on Bahamut, but who else cares about that but me? You want to ride pets. Great, we get it. Lock thread.

If you really wanted, you could .dat swap Chocobos with Fenrir, if it makes you feel better.

[Amador]

tl;dr

This isn't WoW, or Aion. Final Fantasy has always had specific Chocobo for this reason. The latest addition to this was colored Chocobos which you had to raise. This is as far as this will ever go.

[Rosina]

As if my head needed another desk imprint

tell me about it. XD i stop reading after the ps2 stuff.

the ponly mount i want outside of chocobo is personal airship like in ff9 (the epic one the black waltz flies during the chase scene through the gate) but all in all I like me ff with just chocobo.
