Mount & Barding Wish List

I don't even care how it's obtained, but I want this as a mount. This poor model is only used in, like, 2 job quests. :\

Ironically enough in Ul'dah near the entrance to the GSM's Guild there's two lalafell NPCs talking and if you walk close to them you get dialogue balloons appear of what they're talking about - one of them mentions he's come up with a new mode of transportation which is a "seat suspended between two wheels that you pedal with your feet"... and his companion just scoffs and dismisses it as a "stupid idea." Sooo... there is that possibility some kind of bicycle might make it into Eorzea (unlike Cloud's motorcycle, a bicycle would easily fit given it's origins in the 19th century, even ignoring the above reference already in game).

But then, given lore wise the Syndicate (specifically, Lolorito) are hellbent on holding back any kind of transport innovation that he himself cannot make money out of or would otherwise compete against his aetheryte network income and chocobo carriage services, I wouldn't be surprised if Lolorito would deliberately conspire to prevent bicycles becoming commonplace in Eorzea....

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this too much! :p

That's a little bit paranoid considering the instant long-distance teleportation appeal of Aetherytes, not to mention that the daring Bicycle inventor here would need some form of investment to get his ieda off the ground. Plus if he's so keen on maintaining a monopoly, with Cid and the Ironworks still in business, he's need more work on his plans.

I still think this should be a King Mog pony:

Since 2.0 I've wanted an ATV mount. Mostly because I like to ride in real life and because I really like the old ATV offroad fury games. It doesn't even have to fly. Just want to go do tricks and jumps. Probably not going to happen. Maybe we'll get a bike though.

That model has a lot of screentime in XI so I think it needs a break or is taking one.

I just thought of a few. I'd love if we got a SCH mount (like easy to get like the level 30 WHM/CNJ unicorn) that essentially equated to this:

Mount/Barding Name: Fairy Dust
What is it? How would it be Obtained? - Fairy dust that makes you fly, obtained from a simple SCH sidequest.
Inspiration for this mount? SCH lore seems to be pretty scarce at best so it would be nice to have a bit of a wink and a nod to the job. Plus it would be nice to integrate the fairy into the job in a non-combat way.
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe? Well, we already have flying fairies so... yep. Hahaha.

Mount/Barding Name: Personal Caravan
What is it? How would it be Obtained? A single-person caravan, pulled by a chocobo. (Maybe an alteration to the base chocobo mount so it appears?) But I think it would be an awesome way to add in a new quest chain or a short sidestory that culminates in you getting a caravan. Especially if it's a quest that involves using any DoH/DoL class as well.
How would/can you ride it? I personally would prefer to ride in the caravan, since we already ride on chocobos.
Inspiration for this mount? Just some flavor. And maybe wanting to ride in a Cinderella-style carriage.
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe? Well we have them already, just have to shrink them down and make them personal! lol

Mount/Barding Name: Showstopper
What is it? How would it be Obtained? A floating, small stage with a spotlight. It would be a new Gold Saucer reward, for those who already have most/everything that can be bought there.
How would/can you ride it? You would stand on it in a pose, and the stage would just hover/fly above the ground.
Inspiration for this mount? Honestly, from seeing this "type" of mount as the new PvP airship mount, and not really caring so much for The Feast nor the airship design, I thought it would be great to have another mount available that we stand on and show off our character.
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe? It seems to fit perfectly well into the garish rewards that the Gold Saucer already offers. Why not guild the lily?

I am in favor for the Adventurer Barding presented on page 1.

As for my own personal wish, I would really like the missing primal bardings to be added. I'm surprised there isn't one for Ifrit, Garuda and Titan yet. Will the dev team make those eventually?

• Vortex Barding
• Inferno Barding
• Crag Barding

Obtained via crafting from material dropped from the Extreme primal battles: Garuda, Ifrit and Titan



As for mounts, I would like to see more of the voidsent and vilekin variety.

Different music per barding(have to have the full barding set equipped)

IE a XMAS chocobo theme with the XMAS barding etc

A car. GTA: A Realm Reborn

But i love the big majestic mounts, Zu, Pegasus, so anything like that i'd love.

Vedrfolnir (or give it a different name).

It's the white Twintania-like wyvern that helps you in the MSQ and has a line of dedicated FATEs in The Churning Mists.

It could be bought with 100 Carved Kupo Nut, the Moogles Beast Tribe token but whatever works and isn't way too hard is fine.

It could be ride like Twintania mount but the animations should have slower wings flapping to reflect its personality.

I wouldn't mind a really soft glow of the eyes or reflection at night.

I can see it easily be next tank mount in 4.0 XD
