And in 1.20b we'll have...

I wasn't a huge fan of different mounts up until recently, however when I played the XIII-2 demo and looked into that more, I thought of how they could liken these personal mounts to that monster battle system. For example, we already know that you'll be able to summon your pet chocobo to fight for you, what about having different mounts that double up as companions for different roles?

You could have a Gobbue mount that acts as a tank, a floating eye (or whatever they're called in this one) that could act as a magic nuker, different coloured chocobos could fill different roles (white chocobo=healer?).

I think it'd be pretty fun, I was skeptical before seeing it in XIII-2 but it could really work well and add a lot of character as people can personalise their companion and it's development. The only issue I see with it being that it might come into conflict with the beastmaster or whatever they're going to add in the future, but we're already getting chocobo companions so I guess they'll either have it so beastmasters can have 2 pets, or have to pick between a companion and a tamed creature.

Hell, for a mini-game they could have people's pets battle each other, being as that seems to be the rage in mmos these days *shifty-eyes*

This is their game. End of story.

And ending that rant, that mount looks aweeesoooome

Couldn't agree more. As long as it fits within the game's lore I see no problem with it at all. There's nothing in the game that says you can't ride Goobues, Drakes or Ahriman, perhaps simply no one has tried yet. And now someone figures out a way to and adventurers are given the ability to.

Also if I recall correctly this is only for pre-2.0 players.

Will we be able to get other mounts? Or are we going to get to only pick one of the 4 shown mounts?

Yes, the people who don't like it because the Chocobo has always been the only FF mount can continue to ride their chocobo.

I hope we get to keep all our mounts. I'm not sacrificing Drumsticks for Fatass :(

Maybe you cannot have more than one mount? I'm sure a lot of people will not give up their yellow birds...

You'll be able to have more than one. Chocobos are going to get their raising system and become battle partners while the monster ones are mostly aesthetic. At least thats what the devs have said so far.

Has anyone even translated the post to see what is specifically being said...?
