If you don't like it don't ride it... I bet you it's not as fast as chocobo it's just to show off and to laugh... i see nothing wrong with it personally.

I duno, that goobue was hauling boogie through uldah. I hope there is a just as comical running motion for our rides.

can we use goobbue to attack?

I do not believe that will be even remotely possible, even when they introduce chocobos as 'makeshift party memebers' in 2.0. Once again I do not remember where exactly but they did mention that they were not going to let the additional mount partake in the secondary mechanics that your bird will have

Yes really, no one enjoyed FFXI, as Cichy basically stated!

My favorite comments in this discussion about "staples" for Final Fantasy games I find amusing because you can't treat this like a regular numbered FF because it isn't. One of the staples that Final Fantasy games always have had are changing things up a bit. Glad all you fanboys/girls are totally against something SE naturally does.

"Changing things up" doesn't mean bending over for everyone who has a complaint and demand 720 mounts for no reason lol.

I dont like this at all, i think its retarded and will be laughed at by the gaming community who do not play XIV but want to look at it, it just feels all to desperate for attention. Put me on the vote no band wagon.

I liked the part where they said because I'm in the group dislikes this daft 'mob mounts' idea, I'm crippled by years of playing Final Fantasy XI. My whole experience with that game was two occasions thinking how nice it'd be to get involved with such an amazing-looking world, only to be completely put off by how utterly, utterly limited the character creation was.

Yeah...that's basically how it works -- If you dislike something it's because you liked Final Fantasy XI in some way most likely, you'll notice that with people who hated the MMO.

We all know they're throwing this in because it's the "thanks for playing during 1.x" that Yoshida stated on his live letter, yet somehow people aren't allowed to dislike something.

My point wasnt that no one enjoyed it. I played XI for 6 years personally and had alot of fun. The point is that in XI SE attitude was that they were always right and we were always wrong. Therefore, whatever was in XI was done correctly and it can be never surpassed or deviated from.

That's typical developer mentality though. Even Blizzard is like that outside of PvP where they bend over for their players.

Oh my bad I didn't know the 3 we had shown and the chocobo were all getting 300 color variations.

Wow, people can get so personally hurt over a video game... :confused:

Well... This thread is certainly a read of very different proportions... all 38 pages of it.

The fact that the mods have had to come in twice proves that people are pretty passionate about this topic.

Personally, while I think it's interesting that the devs are giving the choice of extra mounts, I must admit that the Goobbue is definitely something strange to see a player riding on. I am, honestly, not interested in them (I happen to not like the way they look) and will not ride them (unless obligated to by a quest.)

I like choices and things, myself, so I hope that other things come down the shoot as well such as Chocobo colors and what-not. And, shoot, if I had a radio button-esque choice, I would hand pick having a "Guardian of the Grove" as a mount (they do have that flat part at the crest of their heads, after all) but I'm sure there would be a large number of complaints because of the intense strain those creatures put on people's graphics cards or something of that nature. Being a Twin Adder from Gridania, that type of mount would suit my character's personality and everything, looking at it from a lore prospective anyway.

Either way, I think it's fine to have mounts of different varieties, but I think that there should be types of mounts for "both sides of the fence" so to speak. There are people who are really jovial and love humorous additions to the game and then there are other players who want a more "serious" (and I use this term loosely to describe people who aren't fond of "joke" novelty items all of the time and want something different, but story related at the same time, if that makes sense) type of mount. True, there are Chocobos and there will be Goobbues, which, I guess, balances that sort of thing out, but for each "Funny-looking" mount, there should be an "elegant-looking" mount to fit other people's personalities as well.

And I hear you all who say that there shouldn't be 50 different types of mounts in the game, but keep in mind that players like choices, the more choices players have the more freedom they feel is available. I'm not telling anyone to swallow their opinions in any fashion, but I feel that the devs could meet everyone at a nice middle-ground. Implement extra mounts, but don't go absolutely crazy with them. If, at any point, we end up with 100 different in-game mounts, then I think everyone will probably agree that things might have gone a little awry.

False. Sloths, Elephants, Rhinos & Hedgehogs can not jump. I totally agree with no MJ Lalafells though ^_^

ALso, I hope the Ahriman picks us up by the shoulders and flies around carrying us. :D

Goobue doo-doo as big as a Taru.

I Love the idea of new mounts, the more the better. The more different kinds the better. I think the only thing I don't like about this mount is it's size. it would be perfect if it was a young or dwarf Goobbue at about 2/3 or 1/2 of it's current size.

Im speechless at this being added...well this is the last straw for me, im quitting the game because of this mount, so is the rest of my LS. We want an offical apology from yoshi that this is some kind of early april fools joke. Im in a blood rage right now, discarded my gamblers crown in my anger to and sent multiple GM tickets for them not to add this. never been this angry in my entire life.

Lol, troll much? wtf get a grip.

this is not the first time you "threatened" the community with taking you and "your" Linkshell with you, Oh and if you remember "your" Server as well. Just go, I don't think "Your server" will miss you, or your linkshell.

The Exact same thing happened to me Fen. Clearly any idea in your head that isn't generated from the part of the brain that LOVES FFXIV is contrary to everything the community stands for. Do I like these mounts? I do not. Can I live with them? Of course. I have a harder time living with the current linkshell state in this game than I will watching these fat retarded things hobble around my server.

Aww but Biggs us lala's will look sooo cute sitting on these things lol

I just want one for the cute factor I still plan to raise and breed chickens when they come out myself (Still want a the black chicken that soo eluded me in FF11) so I still cant see why all the rage if its not your cup of tea sit down shut up and wait for something you like not every update will be tailored just for YOU so grow up and accept the fact life is a pain and go on.

Great, i can ride a Goobue for purely cosmetic purposes (because i'm sure it won't run faster than chocobos or anything. The servers can barely keep up with load times at chocobo speeds) after doing a quest that takes a full 5 minutes. Now what?

This really adds nothing to the game.
