Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

They are looking at adding rideable mobs for new mounts. Please vote on what you would like to see!

Like this post if you want em!

Like this post if you don't!

i want them and i don't :( it be cool being on a drake but then again i don't want to see drake within town if they can do that then i'm fine i dislike mount within town.

I personally don't want to ride any of them (girly girl here; I'll stick to my chocobo^^), but I think they are great if they are for Beastmaster. I think it's a bit less exciting if they are for personal mounts though.

They are adding them.... another great poll.

















BRB going to make a poll on how they shouldn't implement the materia system.

If you don't like them, don't get one.

@Chezen: Yoshi specifically said it's one of the rewards he'd like to give us for playing through this version of the game.

Posted this in another thread, I feel it's relevant here too:

I just don't get why people are so against using large creatures as mounts. And don't even say "it's becoming WoW!" because we all know that's not true. As long as the monsters don't get obnoxious elemental effects and become all multi-colored I think we'll be fine and well within the realm of what's acceptable for FFXIV.

The "It's not traditional FF!" excuse doesn't really hold much weight either anymore. FF is not a series that strictly sticks to only tradition and nothing else. There are new features or new takes on old features with every iteration, the series wouldn't be able to last long without doing so. Especially for an MMO, this game needs to branch out and do everything it can to keep people interested.

If the monster is big enough for me to throw a saddle on and ride, outside of lore reasons (like NMs or Primals), I don't see why we shouldn't be able to. I mean a drake is big enough to ride and any race of character can fit on it, so it only makes sense for us to make use of it as a mount. Hell they could even make a quest out of it since it may not be a company issued mount. The concept actually fits a little better into FFXIV's lore than anything since Ishgard's keeping their monopoly on Chocobos. In light of that, adventurers should be free to get creative.

Also it seems like they're mostly done with actually creating the feature so I'd say get used to it because it's coming either way.

Yeah, I don't understand polling people for stuff that's been announced. If you don't like the mounts, ride the chocobo. I don't see what the big deal is.

Personally, unless the mount flies or is faster than the chocobo, there's little chance that I'd opt to get one if I have to do the amount of things it's taking to get my personal chocobo.

Ah. :) Since I have little personal interest in the mounts, I probably missed that, ty.

Awww, come on. You supplant negative thoughts before even beginning the question; the first thing someone sees before being asked their thoughts is "EW." Biasssss. HISSSS. MOOSE HISSSS.
