But unfortunately there is no unseeing it - especially when others ride around or remain mounted on their unsightly stop motion animal.

I remember when you didn't get the ability to impose your will upon what mount other people ride on.

Personally I love it, I trained 30 Conjurer on three characters just so they can all have one. :D
Occasionally I wish the mane and tail were white instead of blue, but it depends what lighting I'm currently under in a zone.

The only one I can think of is Sleipnir, which is Odin's 8 legged horse.

Closest thing to a horse I have ever seen in a FF game is this.

Really? I didn't think it was quite that, well... exciting!

Back on topic though I personally would like to see it reworked both graphically and animation wise. It reminds me of a plastic toy how it is now and if you've ever owned real horses you'll understand why the animation doesn't look right especially when they jump.

I have never even owned horses and its animation looked off to me. So it could use some tweaking, but there are other things that need to be addressed first.

Yea, this is why I don't use my unicorn. It's just ugly - texture and model-wise - compared to other options.

The original Final Fantasy had a Monster named Crazy horse/mad pony that clearly had a Unicorn sprite not unlike how the mount looks, Dawn of Souls even added a palette swap of the crazy horse called unicorn to the extra dungeon whisperwind cove.
It also is a Summon in FFV and FFVI
Everyone still arguing that unicorns are "not final fantasy", i hereby confiscate your FF-fan Cards.

My only issues with the Unicorn are that the animations just seem very off not to mention the unicorn isn't quite as nifty looking as other Unicorns in other games and FF games. Severe armor clipping also is off-putting, something immediately noticeable for any CNJ/WHM that doesn't side saddle.

The clipping is there even on chocobos, coeurls, magitek, ahriman and anything else that's added down the line. My only problem with the unicorn are the eyes, they look rather bulgy to me. Aside from that, it's an interesting mount. Would I ride it? Heck no, not intimidating enough for me. I ride a goobbue! Where's your Gods now?!

The only thing i hate about the unicorn mount is the tail is too high, looks like its trying to take a dump permanently to me.

I always have a good laugh when I see a Roegadyn on a unicorn xD

I don't use it because it doesn't have Erasure playing in the background like it should.

Unicorns a-go!

Truth be told, I hated the things at first. Thought they looked ridiculous, but this has been my go-to mount since I got it. The other mounts seem a bit choppy/jerky in the way that they run and that annoyed me more than the silliness of the unicorn.

The problem with the unicorn, and mounts in general, is that the female characters don't ride them in a ladylike manner. Riding sidesaddle rather than astride would be more appropriate.

I like that the miqo'te don't ride them all dainty-like, but then it leads to panty flashes, as shown above, if you're wearing a skirt :(

What Final Fantasy EVER has a unicorn that looks like it got ripped straight out of a Barbie movie and plastered into the game. Every time i see this mount it makes me want to take out my axe and butcher it into something i can sell on the market boards

Actually have no issue with the unicorns. I do take issue with everyone and their dog riding a voidsent around. How does that make sense?

I like them myself.
