And in 1.20b we'll have...

The question is whether or not the goobue will have its own music. I'm hoping for some Tuba music =P

I look forward to the addition of the gobbue, drake, eye, and magitek mount and am absolutely dying for 2.0 to release so we can have our battle companion chocobos.

The current devs have decided on a vision that is meant to appeal to a wider audience. Oh no here I go... Yes, the people who play World of Warcraft. SE for some reason has decided that it would like to make some money and I for one applaud them for doing so. Now where's my Roegadyn riding saddle my legs are tired from all the scurrying around. lol

Way to generalise -.-

I may dislike the idea of the mob mounts - gobbue for being an inevitable screen-swamping clip-fest and ahriman for just looking.. absolutely stupid as a mount in my opinion and being thematically insane, but that doesn't mean I or everyone else 'was in opposition to them is just leaping down the developers' throats at every new idea.

The Moogle weapons I'm fine with; they make thematic sense even, they're kind of cute and in most cases look genuinely nice. And the Ifrit weapons I am really, really glad of. Sure they look a bit ugly, but the developers made the decision to make their glow non-invasive and best of all only active when wielded. Not only is that a nice, progressive compromise and damn tasteful compared to the usual PARTICLES AND LIGHTS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME approach, but most of all it looks fairly cool in and of itself and even better makes the weapons seem much more impressive as a result.

So.. yeah, lay off the.. what's the word? Strawman comparisons? Whatever it is, just because people don't have the same opinions as you on one thing doesn't make them a horde of shrieking franchise obsessives whose arguments you get to dismiss by default.

And you know what? Your Roegadyn riding idea is a genuinely good one. One of the (many) really nice touches in Mabinogi was that Giant characters were able to pick up and carry Elf and Human characters on their shoulders, and I'd love to see something similar here.

Forget that... I want a Miqo'te mount.

Don't like it? Don't use it. Problem solved.

Seeing people riding around in them won't effect your game in anyway. If it breaks you away from the immersion, then you have no imagination.

Oh man, SE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Motorcycle and Tiny Bronco. SE, do work.

I wasn't a huge fan of different mounts up until recently, however when I played the XIII-2 demo and looked into that more, I thought of how they could liken these personal mounts to that monster battle system. For example, we already know that you'll be able to summon your pet chocobo to fight for you, what about having different mounts that double up as companions for different roles?

You could have a Gobbue mount that acts as a tank, a floating eye (or whatever they're called in this one) that could act as a magic nuker, different coloured chocobos could fill different roles (white chocobo=healer?).

I think it'd be pretty fun, I was skeptical before seeing it in XIII-2 but it could really work well and add a lot of character as people can personalise their companion and it's development. The only issue I see with it being that it might come into conflict with the beastmaster or whatever they're going to add in the future, but we're already getting chocobo companions so I guess they'll either have it so beastmasters can have 2 pets, or have to pick between a companion and a tamed creature.

Hell, for a mini-game they could have people's pets battle each other, being as that seems to be the rage in mmos these days *shifty-eyes*

This is their game. End of story.

And ending that rant, that mount looks aweeesoooome

---

Couldn't agree more. As long as it fits within the game's lore I see no problem with it at all. There's nothing in the game that says you can't ride Goobues, Drakes or Ahriman, perhaps simply no one has tried yet. And now someone figures out a way to and adventurers are given the ability to.

Also if I recall correctly this is only for pre-2.0 players.

Will we be able to get other mounts? Or are we going to get to only pick one of the 4 shown mounts?

I hope we can get all of the ones shown so far or i won't be getting a goobue i'll instead wait for my magitek armor.

I hope we get to keep all our mounts. I'm not sacrificing Drumsticks for Fatass :(

Maybe you cannot have more than one mount? I'm sure a lot of people will not give up their yellow birds...

You'll be able to have more than one. Chocobos are going to get their raising system and become battle partners while the monster ones are mostly aesthetic. At least thats what the devs have said so far.

Has anyone even translated the post to see what is specifically being said...?

So going by this, Mocchi has not made it clear whether the Goobue will be acquirable in 1.20b, just that he is excited.

It'll please the "I WANT MORE MOUNTS" people for all of 10 minutes before they complain for something else.

Heres an original idea:

Se can make obtaining a mount an instanced fight that you have to kill 6 roaming NMs to enter. Then they can decrease the drop rate so low that you have to kill the fight 150+ times before getting the mount of your choice.

This, just like I said. It's not valuable, long-lasting content. These people asking for it will only spend a small amount of time with them. Scrap it, work on chocobo raising/racing and other content instead. Those systems build on existing content and expand it, rather than making disposable, tacky COLLECT ALL TEH MOUNTS content.

When Square releases these, I hope there is a DAT mod (or even an official option - YES PLEASE) released swiftly made to turn them all into chocobos. That way those of us who didn't want this crap in our game don't have to see it.

...For 1.20b... In a post dedicated to gobbue mounts...

Does it come with some kind of content?

We have PLENTY of awesome 3d models but none of them are used to add value to the gameplay experience. That looks great but until it's useful don't just throw it in our lap.

Also use story to explain to us how exactly did these creatures come to eorzea from rolanberry fields please. I would love to know the story behind the obvious connection.

Unless it's fanservice and in that case I'll have less respect for you than I have for most working girls.

Wow. Virtual birds are serious business, I guess.

It's a waste of development resources. With the amount of time spent on a goodbue mount, we could have been brought new NMs, more user friendly tweaks like the recently released repair system, or even some more man hours spent improving the soon to be released dungeons.

Also, it looks completely ridiculous with just the one mount pictured and will look much worse with 8 together. I do not want to see this crap, personally. This coming from someone who liked the design and behavior of goobues as mobs.

/sexistpig10chars.

so what kind of humans are these who hate more mounts? or is it specifcally gobbues? What is wrong with gobbue mount?
i didnt see anybody complain when they showed this in live letter.

I just don't get why we can't have other mounts as long as it's not obnoxiously stupid. I mean it's not like it's got any kind of crazy bells and whistles on. It's just a Goobue as you'd see pretty much anywhere else, plus a carpet. It's not over the top and ridiculous, it's just the monsters as they are elsewhere. I see no issue with that.

We already have chocobo to get around in. More mounts could have been implemented at a later date AFTER they implement more important stuff like jobs, or fixing the fucking game.

Why the hell do we need this right now? what purpose does it serve? just to shut you ppl who cry about having more dumb shit up?

Jump is just fine. It's a normal action that any creature with legs can do. It could/should be implemented whenever it can be. JUST SAY NO to Michael Jordan Lalafells. :)

I just heard the "I only want SE to be working on content that I want." Argument... again.

Not me, you have to admit, games with 100s of mounts are only like that because of bending over for your players even though you don't need that many damn mounts, especially if any grants certain effects or work certain ways there will be those mounts that will be sought after or become part of raid content.

Quite frankly, I don't want to do content with a mount as a reward, that's retarded on so many levels.

the most good i can see out of the new mount, is new mount music. MAKE IT GOOD-demand

I hope that this is the saving grace for this silly decision.

different mounts could have different properties, like this mount the mount can fight for you. on the chocobo you are fighting from the chocobos back(with maybe a beak command)

After 10 minutes i will be sure to make a thread requesting a mount for my mount
