I originally was of this opinion as well, but after thinking about it some more, I really really want a Nannygoat mount.

EXCITE!
Also, flying mounts.
To see the world from above would be... something.
ALSO, though i doubt it, Magitek armor.
Yes. Or some kind of something to mount in battle.
YES! MOUNTS USED IN BATTLE!
Could they do that?
Wark ;) nostalgic
I wouldn't be surprised in the least to only see Chocobos as the mounts for FFXIV. Referencing real life, like fantasies often do to an extreme (like riding a chicken for instance), there's only one real mount in the world - horses. Sure, you can probably ride on other things, like a bull, a dog, a cat, tried a mouse once but ... nevermind ... point is horses are the only reliable "real life mount" and Chocobos are already in the game anyway, and seen as mounts, so why not have them be the only reliable mount as well? Not to mention that having one mount just recolored (when breeding starts) makes it a lot easier on the dev team as well, and I'm sure they like easy work from time to time.
But ... I wouldn't mind riding on Ifrit's head, or even Bahamut o.o ... well, a wyvern mount anyway would be cool heh.
Big deal if they are going to add OTHER mounts too, actually that's a welcome addition in my book the more choices the better. Though any REAL FF fan has to get themselves a yellow chicken... XD Kweh!
I'm SO sick of reading this garbage. NOT everything in MMO land is derived right from WoW. Flying mounts are just that flying mounts. An airship CAN be a 'mount'. Anything that you ride on and control is effectively a MOUNT. :mad:
I want a female lalafell mount. :(
I understand everyone's argument that Chocobos will likely be the only mounts, however, I believe that if Yoshi wants to make a good name for himself out of this mess, that along with staples like Chocobos and Airships, he should throw in some unique and new ideas. Chocobos didn't start as "staple" FF creatures, they became staple creatures in the lore & through implementation in the games. Yoshi needs to show a little innovation with this game, and maybe implement something that could become a staple to the franchise for future games.
