More like a parrot! He should randomly dispense crackers too.

personaly i love having a mount for each job/class, ie: Coreul for MNK, my 1.0 Goubbuee for BTN, so ive had some ideas that would be great
1:Crab mount for FSH
2: a giant Mandragora mount for ALC
3: Fenrir for SMN
4: a Snurble or sheep for WVR
5: Wyvern for DRG
others ive toyed around with in my head where Sandworms, Tarui <taruses? idk>, wolves, a toad resembling the tiny ones from FF XI even a giant plush moogle head.. <don't ask lol> some of which could be craft able for said DoH ;x or given from a easy but lengthy quest, or even some alternate ones < ex: a white coreul like the ones you fight in treasure hunts?>

lol oddly enough i named my Chocobo Ixion. even decked it out in full crested maelstrom/ behemoth barding to make it look like it ._.

I actually think the goats(?) and antelopes in this game would make good mounts.

But more importantly I'd also like to be able to ride my unicorn like a princess.

Can we get a feet equipment called Strider Boots? Equip'em outside of dungeons and you get the movement speed of mounts. :D

My list of mount demands:
Dodo
Slime (Cmon it's so..... moist)
Diremite
That flamingo wannabe bird north of Costa Del Sol
Apkallu
Karakul
A bouncing ball like those yoga ones (imagine a Lala on it... yeah! Or that episode on South Park where they legalized weed n criminalized KFC..... XD)
Powerwheels... Nuff said
Aldgoat
Magic Carpet
Roegadyn (I want to be just like the Sultana!)
Cloud (FLYING NIMBUSSSSSSSSSS)
Beast tribe people (To the victors goes the spoils, I slayed your primal I own you now!)
Natalan Wolf
Gorgimera
Fish
Mermaid
.... Siren
>_> Those are my current demands.

Yeah! I see so many elezen and hyurs complaining for their sidesaddle pose, and I instead am here wishing I could have it! Would be nice to have the option to toggle mounting stance between sidesaddle/straddling >.<

More than new mounts, I want an option to choose between sidesaddle and astride riding poses, for all races and genders...or for the choice of pose to be toggled based on your current class/job. I play a male Miqo'te, and he looks pretty silly trying to ride astride in Mage gear (face it, that Vanya robe might as well be a dress!). On the other hand, a female character riding side-saddle in plate armor looks just as bad!

The entire point of that method of riding is to accommodate a rider wearing a skirt, so it would make a lot more sense this way, as well as cut down on ugly robe-clipping.

They were supposed to be ridiculous and funny, that was the whole point. To have as much fun with it as is possible.

How is that effectively any different from adding useless, low-level costumes to events? At least the mounts will add something useful even if you already have a dozen others to chose from.

I agree. As long as you met the requirements to unlock them.

I disagree. This game is more of a fan-service experience than a serious one.

Other players!!! piggyback style ;D or retainers. that would be rad.

I'd like an invisible mount that'll make our characters look like they're flying.

Flying carpet !!!

Job Class Mounts:

I have brought this up earlier but one of the ideas that I really like is bringing a mount unique to each job class, except for Conjurers (since they already have one). Once you hit level 30 you can quest for these mounts or not (as the mood takes you), but you can't deploy them without having a Chocobo license the same with any other mount. But here is a more detailed list of which mounts would be good for each job class, followed by a descriptor.

Lancer: Highwind Wyvern. These wyverns are said to be the descendents of wild wyverns and wyverns believed to have fought alongside dragoon knights from a mythical land known only as Vana'diel. Whether that is true or not is unknown, but they have a very distinctive scale hide that is blue in color.

Botanist: Goobue. You thought this mount was removed from the game for good, but a certain traveling merchant has seeded trees and thickets with the spirit of this mount for all skilled Botanists to find, provided they put forth the time.

Arcanist: Carbuncle. Do not for one moment believe that just because this ethereal being deigns to fight along side you that it will bear your burden lightly, only it's most trusted allies and companions will it carry.

Thaumaturge: Ixion. Sleak, black as midnight, and difficult to tame, this alicorn only aligns itself with masters of the elements.

Fisher: Crab. These distinctive crustaceans are known to be easy going, they are also strong enough to use as porters. But special training is needed to use them as mounts, training that is a closely guarded secret of the Fisher's Guild.

Miner: Coblyn. Because of their rocky exterior and distinctly shy demeanor, these penultimate tsundere require special handling to use as mounts and only the Miner's Guild knows the secret to tame them.

Alchemist: Morbol. Alchemists aren't just potion makers but also tinker with living creatures and are responsible for creating homunculi, chimeras, and, of course, morbol. Of those only morbol can be tamed or used as mounts, and the guild wisely guards the secret.

Armorer: Painted Magitek Armor. Apart from the obvious fact that they're painted, as the name suggests, they are also smaller than their counterparts in the empire and lack the magitek cannon. Their construction is still considered top secret by the Armorer's Guild, though.

We did have other players as mounts in 1.0. It.... wasn't as awesome as you think:

been there, done that, moving on.

I have 2 words to end this thread and to give the devs a break so they will NEVER EVER have to release another mount at all.

Flammie. Mount.

Regional mounts. Every city-state has at least one monster unique to that region that can be tamed and used as a mount, the individual requirements vary but you need to be at least level 30 to even try unlocking them. Further, you do not need to be aligned with that city-state or a member of their particular Grand Companies but you do need a considerable amount of fame to start the quest. In basic parlance, you must be at the point in the main-scenario where the Grand Companies are vying for you to join them. You can then start the quest at any time.

The coeurl mount is my favorite right now so the next one I want is this one:

I adore that model so much! Definitely want it as a mount!

I would like to get a mount that's similar to the mechanical behemoth that appeared in the final fantasy XIII fate. Since we already have a behemoth mount we should get this one too at some point.

Twintania, something about its movements and its ring around its neck makes it really cool looking. It would be the perfect raid wiping Fc killing mount to ride into battle.

Chibi twintania or cute twintania would be acceptable.

I want a flying Squirtle!

skateboard and lots of places to grind. maybe some halfpipes. make it happen SE

Sorry for necro'ing this thread, is there any way we can get certain music for mounts in the game? Specifically that version of Terra's theme for the unveiling of the Magitek Mount just for that. While I was working through the story, I was really really excited to get this mount hoping that it would get special music for when you rode it because all the other non chocobo mounts got that generic music. Then when they released the fat chocobo that got its own music. I'd think it'd be only appropriate.

Here's the official link:

As I've said when this was brought up before, I actually rather dislike the arrangement they use there and would rather see the one from Distant Worlds used if they change it.
They've already said they aren't going to use Terra's theme though since, to paraphrase, 'Terra/FFVI is technically completely unrelated to the magitech armour seen in this game'.

That said, I'd love to see different music for different mounts. When I first got the game and heard that the Coeurl had different music than the Chocobo, I thought that was a brilliant idea.Then learned that everything else shared that them and was disappointed. :-(

Also, to the original topic at hand... Garuda, Siren, or Succubus mounts. >_>

Also, my girlfriend suggested this and I agree this should happen. Like the Drake and Goobue mounts, the elbst should be able to do its water spit attack. Furthermore, the coeurl mount should cough up hairballs. Thank you.

I'd love it if our chocobos have actions we can activite similart to the magitek cannon, etc.

Also, a giant carbuncle mount will satisfy many SMN/SCH need for a carbuncle.

I'd like to see some pegasi. Maybe a yellow one with a long, pink mane and tail. And pink butterflies on the flank.

Okay, just the pegasi.

I doubt they can make Fluttershy a mount without legal troubles or clashing with Shiva. The ponies you get other than the WHM Unicorn come from primal EX fights and they are always designed based on the element of the respective primal (save the omnipresent Nightmare mount)

Mount I want to see ingame? Well I like the Mimics/Bugs from FF XII, and there's is already one varient on Turn 4 soo...

I also want to ride the blue and red Elbsts

Ever since I saw a giant snurble in a Fate, I've wanted a snurble mount for my Lalafell :D

This ... just .. sound s SOOOOO adorable

My wishlist: :D

Gold Snurble
Boar
Buffalo
Male Aldgoat
Hydra ( or hell even Tiamat )
Cornu
Rafflesia
ADS
Mahes ( i know we have the coeurl already but meh, a plain black version is so much cooler ! )
T5 Dread
Nahn
Naul

And finally, T4 Dread with cleave and cannon as mount actions would be cool. In FFXIII there was a short part of the game where Lightning is mounting one and fighting a horde of T4 soldiers/knights, so why not ?

I mostly laid that out as a joke. :D I would like pegasi though, even if they only hover like the ahriman.

Suggestions I second:
- buffalo
- adamantoise
- aldgoat
- boar
- antelope

But most of all the Dodo and Snurble Mounts, I want those soooooo bad especially if they have silly special music when riding them like the fat choco.

More choco barding would be nice too.

If there was only ever to be one more mount to be released I would be happy with this. Since Final Fantasy games tend to be filled with references it would fit in quite nicely. Before checking out the link to the mount, here's a quick hint for those who want to take a guess first:

And the mount:

It's a video!

Oh and I would love to eventually get an Enkidu mount from the Hildebrand questline.

It would be especially awesome if it was the small version and you "ride" it by holding on to its legs with one hand while it flies/hovers similar to how you see Gilgamesh use him/it.
