So in an environment where everyone can be warped to where they want to be within less than 5 minutes you feel the need to bring forth some sort of mount system?
Oh and I'm sure that the whole pt sized paddywagon wont be abused by people with 3rd party tools that just gained the ability to cheat for 6x the people at once in the forseeable future. What is even gained by doing that instead of /follow?
Fafnir/Nidhogg have been jokes for years and now you want to make them lose their last shred of self-esteem/decency by making them ferry noobs around?
Odin is from a different dimension, He can have all the horses he wants and nobody in XI can say differently because they as far as I can tell don't even exist in vanadiel.
Nexus cape also wishes to have a word with you.
Instead of new mounts we don't need taking up space(in addition to SE having to program in the new system although i wouldn't mind if some more visible variety in attributes like speed existed without the current system of max speed to make your chocobo on par with a cheap rental) we could have all the time spent on new models used on new monsters or weapons or given the reprogramming needed a new major event.
You didn't even give us something halfway exciting like jousting noobs or chocobo's with spiked claws ben hur style. -

While flying is cool there's really no need for it considering we can't even jump and since every area is zoning you'd have to fly through that really small area that you normally would just ride a chocobo through anyway. As for dragons and interesting idea but if we're taming dragons then I don't think we have anything to fear and the new Voidwalkers might as well head back to their mid-dimension.

Maybe they could just make it so Galkas can ride two Chocbos at once and wear them like skates

Just to clarify, I'm not really purposing an "idea" with this thread, I'm just asking questions based on the topic of the possibility of new mounts. The question is asking if there are going to be any new methods based on some possible new reasons to usher them in.
If we Adventures need to reach a new hidden zone nestled deep within a lava filled cave that our fickle chocobo wouldn't dare to venture in, yet a badass "Domesticated Wyrm" would see no trouble traversing, it would be a good reason for the 6 person ferry ride. Just have to use some imagination on the possible reasons to include them.
Spiked Chocobo armor I can see though! Need to match our new spiky Twilight stuffs. -

one last thing.
before thinking of new ways to travel, we should thinks about new area to explore.
we already know that until mid 2012 we will not see new expansion and area...that's too bad ;_; -

Yep, this question pretty much goes hand and hand with what the future expansion question was asking. I don't mind if things are far off, it's just nice to look forward to new horizons.
Technically speaking, we wouldn't need a full expansion to see valid reasons for new mounts. Pretty much all the zones where a chocobo won't go in the game currently could be one of the definitive justifications for introducing stronger, and more "all terrain" types of mounts.
New expansions would just further validate things like needing a mount that can at least glide over dangerous obstacles like lava and bottomless ravines, or perhaps scale dangerous mountain landscapes that us "non-jumping" Adventurer's would be stuck trying to find hidden ledges on. -

Yeah, the type of flying I would expect would be maybe a good couple feet off the ground like most monsters do if we did get to ride compact-sized wyrms, so pretty much a nice "Glide/Flap wings" thing going on. Again, our beloved Chocobo's refuse to go lots of places in the game currently (which always makes me wanna yank'em back towards the zone), so whether it's a Horse-like Monocero, wyrm, or a evolved wyvern-sized chocobo, having a mount that wouldn't be afraid of dark spaces and could potentially bite the head off a goblin would be a nice addition in my opinion .
Weellll I wouldn't say we wouldn't still need to fear the wild dragons and wyrms out and about Vana'diel based on if we found a way to domesticate them somehow. My example shows a wide-eyed, short horned compact version of a wyrm, so I was hinting to a much more docile version (dare I say friendly). It would be kinda like having a tiger for a pet in that it could still bite your head off, but because you feed it and take care of it, there's less of a chance it will... though not a 100%. You wouldn't walk up to a wild tiger and try to pet it just because you have a tiger pet at home, ><; unless you just no longer liked having your hand and was in the market for a shiny new hook...
