Mounts are not what this game needs to attract the masses. How many silly monster mounts does TERA or GW2 or Blade and Soul have?

People will see the Ahriman mount and Gobbue and think "typical crazy asian MMO, no thanks."

If SE was serious about attracting masses, they probably would have done something about the combat system and the general lack of innovation

Lets say your movement speed is at 100%

With chocobo it would be 200%
With gobbue it would be 80% but you dont get mob aggro. I mean who would aggro a gobbue.
With ahriman it would be 140% but you can fly over rocks and not get stopped by general landscape.
With drake it could also be 140% but you can breath fire and be able to insta kill low level mobs (ie farming mount)

You guys see where I'm going with this?

This is a game people let's have some fun with this no?

Only thing I agree with is goobuus

Everything else nononononononononononononononononononononononononono!

I think you are suppose to answer that, you said their the best not me...

Do i look like i know everything?
Besides, it seem your mind is very much set on that All classes
have & can equip Ifrits harpoon.... you missing the point.

Just like the gobbue mount, ppl starting in 2.0 cant get that mount...
it will then become rare / unique in a way.

Thats what most mmo's are about, have something special.
So either way some of us couldnt care less if you dont have it becasue you dont want or like it.

Like i said before, if you dont like it...the option is there for you & me not to use / get it.
No your reason is...WE dont need more bla bla because you can still see it..... lame...
Close your eyes then, find a game more to your liking then.

im sure there something you like & that i dont, feel free to share so
i can either say no... and we will have tis conversation again....why?
Because we are diffrent.... That's life.

And thank god for change & diffrences...
Just imagine the worl with no females...

So I'm waiting dude

NO, i'm not going to hate on it because it's not some stupid mob. It's tech!

So following your logic, we should penalize everyone who wants the other mounts like the magitek armor just because YOU don't want to see it? Wow talk about selfishness..... glad Yoshi-P has the right vision on this.

Every game with multiple mounts has lesser and better mounts. Ones that are easy to get but slower and some faster and more rare. Some are rare just for the visual. All the other mmos proved that these are popular, so S-E decided to follow the trend. It's not because we got chocobo breeding that the other mounts will all suck compared to it.

I chose my mount depending on what it looks like, Chocobos are nice but if rather ride a dragon with my dragoon then ill go for that. Plus i don't see a Chocobo flying, it will just look awkward.

It's not because you don't use it that nobody will and don't use the Gobbue as an example cuz it's just plain ugly. I'm sure if we had dragons a lot of pple will be using them.

You changed your text before i was done with my reply.

You cant just use Ifrit harpoon as your major exmple.

WHM / Cnj cant use that shit, and yet you still hold firm to that Ifrits cnj
weapon is better than any high level crafted Staff that can have materia attached to it?

- this is an example since your mind is set on All ifrit weapons is
better than the ones we can craft ourself.

If so your a fool...

Final Example, if i had an ifrit weapon on my main i wouldnt
use it since i got an "Ivory Staff +1" with 3x materia attached to it...
and you know what...its hell of a more potent than any other Thm weapon i know of.

Same goes for my BLM Af gloves, useless compared to my materia equiped Boarskin Ringbands.

Nobody will think that. Most people are familiar with the FF universe.

I can't believe you people. The point of this thread was not to ask if we should or shouldn't have extra mounts, that decision was taken by S-E months ago. It's happening so live with it. What i'm asking is what you would like to see other then chocobos? You know, maybe S-E will pick from one of the popular choices and we won't have to live with another ugly Gobbue mount.

Well that's my fear. I would recommend something good but I don't want SE to then think I am condoning their stupid monster mounts.

What's a mount?

They are doing it regardless of what you suggest or scream "just chocobos!" Might as well get something you might slightly enjoy then something completely annoying don't you think? I think that by now we got it that S-E is not changing their mind on features they have already decided on. It would be a waste of time and resources to scrap something they already started work on.

This is why people hate on FF11 players. they are so stuck in their ways that anything new or different is wrong. different mounts in a game that already has different mounts is not something to argue over.

We should be talking about which mobs to add

Or Even Shiva from XIII

http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery...shiva-bike.jpg

what about you?

Edit: And don't say just chocobos, we already got a mount that isn't that and Yoshi-P confirmed flying mounts and other coming in 2.0 or after. It's already been decided, so if you had to chose, which would it be?

---

Chocobo Only. Others have no place in FF Universe, Sorry.

Chocobos Only.

Why spend time putting other animals/mobs to ride when time should be spent on breeding chocobos and getting different kinds and stuff. Chocobos rule.

yeah the goobue mount was cool for all of 2 minutes its to big and the camera doesn't pan off it far enough to easily control where you going.

and yes i support chocobos onry they are going to be able to breed, color, armor, speed/str builds... that is awesome... and flying mount is stupid they will only allow you to flying like 5 feet off the ground big whoop.

Flying chocobos with spinning tails.

That discussion ended when they decided to add Ahriman and Gobbue and now everyone just wants to make it stop.

Yeah because SE has been really showing off all the mounts we will have after the Goobue mount came out and you see like 2 people use it on the server.

Plans change.

FF11 was my only other MMO (did a free trial of WoW, didn't stick around) that I invested time in, but I'm open to suggestions that will help make ff14 more fun. If that includes multiple mounts, then I'm all for it :D

We dont want more to add, that is the point, it is something to argue.

Lots of people didnt want Goobbue, and there were some who was like "nah be hilarious!" and those SAME PEOPLE no longer use it, because its a JOKE, its fun for a little while but drastically dies down.

Very rare you see the mount used because people prefer the chocobo, it works best, it looks good, it fits in.

We dont need stupid new mounts, put the resources into something else. I'd rather have a REAL airship ride than a couple stupid mounts that get used for 5 minutes and add stupid icons to my micromenu.

A Behemoth mount that can attack would be cool, as part of a companion mount that you level up...

i'm no glamour whore, but I would like to see more/diffident mounts.. I think it's very bland for everyone to be riding the same thing.. race specific mounts would be my best choice.. Dont thing a Gulka should be riding what a lala does

I think future mounts should focus more on vehicles than creatures. Generally speaking, in a final fantasy, you have Chocobo and Vehicles. very few other animals.

I'm not opposed to other animals, but I'd rather this didn't turn into a fleet of absurdity.

Never seen a post where YP was like "Yes new mounts are coming", I have seen posts where he jokes about riding magitek and dismissing that choco's will be able to fly/swim.
I think adding the aforementioned chocobo breading dynamic to the game would be a great idea, I like that the barding aspect gives people different looks to their choco and breading different types/colors of choco's would just add to the variety but FF has never needed different mounts, because chocobo's will always reign supreme.

Chocobo breeding, racing and digging {Yes, please.}

I only got a Gobbue because I wasn't able to get my Choco yet. Once I had that, there was no turning back.

And this isn't about FFXI, like someone else said. It's moreso, for me, about FF in general. Chocobo has (almost) always been the mainstay, iconic mount of the FF series. Why would we want to change this now ?

Oh and also, personalizing and fighting with your Chocobo are confirmed content for 2.0. This will give them diversity I would think, along with breeding obviously. We really don't need new creatures...

They are quite vocal haha, I think its cute when they say XI was hard.

I'd like a horse mount.

Goobues are awesome, nothing more fun then calling a Goobue then watching as others around you call their Goobue to surround the poor defenseless lalafell. I don't really see what's wrong with options, so what if a minority use Goobue, the fact they are using it means it was worth putting into the game so let them enjoy their fun. As for airship travel, the introduction we were given was meant to save time and anima between towns, to make the trip longer would defeat the purpose of why they introduced the airship travel.

I to look forward to an actual airship ride but people should understand that the reason it was developed the way it was was so we could save time.

On topic of a mount though, <_< I would want to have a moogle mount not sure how they'd do it but it would be funny if they made something involving a moogle.

I don't understand why people don't want new mounts. They add diversity and flavor to a game that desperately needs some.

Just because you may not prefer the aesthetics of a particular mount doesn't mean other people don't. I find the goobbue mount incredibly satisfying and rewarding. Not to mention it has fantastic music.

The FF6 Magitek Armor is easily one of the most desired mounts of mine right now -- but I'd love to see other mounts implemented as well.

Truth.

Time to grow up people, and crawl out of that hole you call FFVII, Chocobos are nice but getting played out. Yes it is good in a single player standard but in an MMO variety is best option. I been into FF games for nearly 12 years now, and have played just about every FF game out there, even XI, and I openly welcome to option to ride somthing other than the same old bird from -every- other game.

I like different color chocobos that we can breed. Each color can have different abilities since they're going to be our companion in battle as well.



Concept art for Magitek Armor Mount.

This is a sweet ride. I don't care what you haters say, but I want my magitek armor and all its technologies from the empire.

My 2gil...Every game has traits and aesthetics that you can identify them by...for FF it has always been airships,moogles, Cid, Jobs, awesome storylines and Chocobos...I would like for SE to add things to the game to encourage more players but there are just some things that do not need to be added...WE DO NOT NEED MOUNTS...chocobos do the job very well...and for those who don't like it and want mounts...you can go play another mmo that gives them to you...

This!

My 2gil. I guess you never played FFVI and FFVII. They have Magiteks, Submarine, Motorcycles, and a Buggy.


I think you have some final fantasy games you need to play.

I can't get pass the fact this guy wants behemoth as mount.

BST should be able to ride the monsters they can tame~ I heard of fighting on a chocobo... how badass would it be for BST to fight on a tamed mount?
