Shouldn't different mounts have different speeds (or other similar attributes)?

As much as faster mounts would be cool, it will never happen. Just as we will never have flying mounts (the ahriman isn't flying, it's just hovering and if you jumped off a cliff with it, it will still hurt).

Nah. There's already short enough Fates as it is. Won't be fair to new players.

I want all mounts to be able to move faster. I don't care how they really implement it as long as its with the same mindset for most things in the game. I want to pick out my mount and I want it to go faster. Also I like the chocobo the best because of it smaller size compared to the magitek.

It is called unfair advantage.

You and I both stands next to each other on our mount, and we race to the same FATE that will likely finish in under 2-3 minutes due to zerg fest, my mount running at 1.5x while yours at 1x, but it takes at least 1 minute for you since it is on the other side of the map.

What are the chances of you getting to that FATE before it is finished compared to me?

Same mount speed = everyone gets the same chance.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the OP's logic that the Coeurl mount is harder to get than a Chocobo and thus should be faster...

No. It just means that everyone will use the fastest and all diversity will go out of the window.

You do get a perk for having that hard to earn mount that not many others have, you get to ride around on a rare mount.

Honestly, mounts need a speed increase all together.

Simple solution to mount speed killing diversity: have the speed tied to your character stats that you can either upgrade through quest and/or whatever.

I really like the fact that they have the same speed, basically for what everyone else is saying, you just choose mount by how they look, and not because they're faster.

" I worked hard to get Magitek " <-- ????? Really? No you didn't, you just leveled to 50 and you got it as a reward, you didn't really level for the mount xD! And I love Chocobos, if they implement this feature "faster/slower" mounts, depending on $, or effort, No body would use them, and they are just simply outrageous
