How is not getting something that you already don't have, or were never promised, a punishment? You know the meaning of the word, right? It's something you want, but SE has never even mentioned it was a thought.... that doesn't make it a punishment. Are you this dramatic IRL?

And to say the incentive doesn't work is rather ignorant thing to say -- I literally started tanking to get the Bear mount. I'm also leveling up my Paladin and my Dark Knight so I can farm out the Lion and Panther as well.

I honestly feel that giving everyone a job-specific mount would increase the queue times in duty finder. You'd have everyone and their mom gunning for that new Summoner mount, or Red Mage mount, or Ninja mount, or [insert job with the least responsibility here] mount. Meanwhile, the tank queues would remain exactly how they are right now.

I'm glad that only tanks get these job-specific mounts and I hope it stays that way.

Absolutely. It's prettymuch asking for it!

I'm fairly sure the Namazu are using the same base models as tonberries, if they feel like recycling mount designs....

Actually I'm fairly sure the unicorn was also an "incentive mount", for people to take up the only early-game healer class.

Machinist needs a giant mecha. I'm sure Stephanivien could scavenge some wrecked colossi from the battlefield if we ask him nicely about it. :D

The problem with that is, the point of offering the tank mounts is to raise the ratio of tanks to other classes in the DF, by giving them an incentive to queue with that class rather than the more popular healers and DPS.

Give the same opportunity for DPS classes to earn a mount through running roulettes, and you raise the number of people specifically queuing into DF as DPS! (And skewed even further by the fact that there are proportionately more DPS classes than tanks, meaning even more DPS runs if you wanted everything.)

If they were going to have class-specific mounts for everyone, I think it would have to be some other kind of "equal opportunity" reward, possibly with tanks picking up a second unique mount through that method.

Don't know about fairy wings, but pixie wings sound likely from the beast tribe announcement at the last Fan Fest!

That's a lot of Mogstation money they'd be passing up.

Only if the DRK gets a undead horse!!!

DRK already has panther though as its mount. And why would it get an undead horse?

You're thinking too small...

Machinists need Alexander as a mount! xD

... Would the Gobroller come under Machinist or Miner? :confused:

To the OP - you can have my WHM unicorn. That has got to be the UGLIEST mount in the game

I can't speak to unique mounts for a few of the other classes but I do remember posting a couple suggestions for the Gunbreaker mount...

I don't even want to think about the hoops they would put us through to earn gathering-specific mounts.

Unicorns are amazing, but FFXIV's horse models are not.

but wows way dks didnt get a undead horse you got the undead dragon unless your talking about job start ^.^

Hmm...

Sch: A giant flying open book.
Mnk: Raptor.
Drg: A spear they ride like a surfboard? (not sure, but we already have several dragon mounts).
Nin: Spinning Shuriken? (another hard one for me, imo nimbus and kamui both fit nin very well).
Sam: Horse with fuedal era battle armor.
Brd: They take out their harp and begin to play, while lifted up on magical notes on a scale.
Mch: Brace their gun against their gut, and fires out a massive stream of fire that lifts them into the air. (Though imo i always thought of the cloud cutter as a Mch mount).
Blm: Either some kind of voidsent, or an orb of leylines and runes they can fly around on.
Smn: Demi-Bahamut
Rdm: Giant Red Panda
Blu: Flying Morbol
Ast: Shooting Star, Giant Card or a big white owl.

I totally agree that having mounts for all the jobs would be great! In practice I agree on some, disagree on others and just feel like throwing some ideas around. Full respect to OP!

Main points for me, personally it seems important to make the mounts creatures to maintain consistency with other job mounts. I also think they should avoid repeating with other mounts/creatures as much as possible so each stands out as exciting and special.

HEALERS

Astrologian: An owl.

Scholar: A butterfly or moth.

NEW TANK

Gunbreaker: A bull, straight up. Play into the revolver aspect for a rodeo vibe.

DPS

Black Mage: A Voidsent monstrosity, either a freed demon wall (so the demon-out-of-the-wall) or a gargoyle imo. Alternately something special with tentacles.

Summoner: Demi-Bahamut seems like a great idea!

Samurai: Maybe a wolf, think in the vein of how Lupin work tonally or similar to titles like Okami or Princess Mononoke.

Machinist: Agree magitek here!

Blue Mage: I am so close to saying Morbol you have no idea lol. Limited job gets a mount you can walk faster than. XD Alternatively a massive bomb?

Red Mage: A stag or antelope.

Bard: Probably some kind of musical themed animal. Maybe a bird that makes a singing noise when mounted.

Ninja: Leaning toward a fox mount because of concepts surrounding fox fire/illusions, which make sense imo for ninjas based in stealth and all.

Dragoon: Agreed on a unique dragon.

Monk: A griffin with special colors.

Of course i'm talking about the job start. ;)

Be nice to have job class mounts. It give ones something aim for. Also be also nice have job class swim wear and more job class outfits that's not for more than one job class. Maybe also more job class emotes.

I too wish we had unique mount for every job. That would make leveling up each one much more sweet. Maybe even go further and give certain achievements mounts too. Like leveling up every magic job to max level and so on.

For summoners I would want a nice floating book and maybe for scholars fairy wings or tiny fairy that is flying them everywhere.

Personally, instead of a dungeon grind, I would prefer they be rewards from quest lines unique to each Job.

Relic mounts. Sounds neat.
