Heres an original idea:
Se can make obtaining a mount an instanced fight that you have to kill 6 roaming NMs to enter. Then they can decrease the drop rate so low that you have to kill the fight 150+ times before getting the mount of your choice.
This, just like I said. It's not valuable, long-lasting content. These people asking for it will only spend a small amount of time with them. Scrap it, work on chocobo raising/racing and other content instead. Those systems build on existing content and expand it, rather than making disposable, tacky COLLECT ALL TEH MOUNTS content.
When Square releases these, I hope there is a DAT mod (or even an official option - YES PLEASE) released swiftly made to turn them all into chocobos. That way those of us who didn't want this crap in our game don't have to see it.
Does it come with some kind of content?
We have PLENTY of awesome 3d models but none of them are used to add value to the gameplay experience. That looks great but until it's useful don't just throw it in our lap.
Also use story to explain to us how exactly did these creatures come to eorzea from rolanberry fields please. I would love to know the story behind the obvious connection.
Unless it's fanservice and in that case I'll have less respect for you than I have for most working girls.
It's the jump issue all over again.
It's a waste of development resources. With the amount of time spent on a goodbue mount, we could have been brought new NMs, more user friendly tweaks like the recently released repair system, or even some more man hours spent improving the soon to be released dungeons.
Also, it looks completely ridiculous with just the one mount pictured and will look much worse with 8 together. I do not want to see this crap, personally. This coming from someone who liked the design and behavior of goobues as mobs.
