    Small suggestion for chocobo mount being added with next patch

    Please make the mount music match the chocobo music and not the normal mount music.

    It's a chocobo, why would it not have the chocobo music? We can already ride the armored chocobos in the past and they have the standard music.

    Regardless, I don't understand the hate on the non-chocobo mount music. It's a perfectly serviceable music track and it doesn't make sence to use the chocobo song with other things. FFXIV does it the same way, only the chocobo mounts (compoany, black, legacy) have the chocobo music, the fat chocobos have their own special music, and everything else has something else (though there's a few different tracks depending on the mount)

    It's too jolly and doesn't really work that well, it sounds like holiday event music rather than traveling music.

    Idk, it sounds like music that would play against a scene with animals / creatures running around, considering what especially the early mounts were things like crabs and such, it makes sense to me, personally. Frankly I think the original chocobo music is too subdued (but the FFXIV one is too blaring, wish they'd find a happy medium)

    Because one calls music via chocobo rental methods, while the other calls via mount? I have to admit I don't remember ever having sound on while riding my own registered chocobo as a mount, so I can't say whether it uses mount or chocobo, but whatever plays when you use that is pretty much guaranteed to be what you get with Noble Chocobo.

    Unless they decide this is so cool and special that they have to give it its own unique background music anyway, which would be a nice touch but terribly unlikely (but then, they added a new track specifically for nine zones to use during one seasonal event, so who knows...?)

    Your personal chocobo uses the standard music whether it was called by the original whistle before the mount system or the new method via the mount menu

    Not sure why you didn't lead with that, then. Yeah, that being the case, like 95% chance the new chocobo is going to do the same. Not going to say it's guaranteed because there's always a chance someone's going to just copy and paste the last mount added with a new model, instead of actually saying "wait, this is the same thing as that personal chocobo mount, I should reuse that instead." (... but I suspect if it doesn't use chocobo theme on release, it will by or before the June version update.)

    A little bit of a coincidence they add this just as I'm (re-)doing the chocobo races, and yet again wish I could have a white chocobo after finishing them because (spoilers)...

    I guess it's still neat'ish at least, but I'll never use anything but my personally raised chocobos, so meh. That said, I do still hope they'll use the chocobo theme for it. ^^

    Yeah, it's definitely not as white as what I'm referring to, but it certainly seems to have /some/ white, and it made me think of the white (and there's the "noble" thing about it too).

    I hope it also reminds Yoji Fujito about the thing...

    We’re hoping to implement it at some point in the future, so we ask you to please wait until then.
