New Mount/Achieve: Lions, and Tigers, and Bears! Oh My!

So, crazy person that I am, I just finished getting both my lion and my bear today, and, while I love having the both of them, I think that leaving it at just a lion and bear is cutting it off too early.

I think it would be interesting for the devs to add a tiger mount and an achievement for getting the lion, the tiger, and the bear, called "Oh My!". Conversely, the achievement could require you get the lion and the bear and reward you with the tiger.

The coeurl mount could potentially count as the "tiger", but it's got leopard spots (tiger would require stripes) and is gained through spending real money rather than through in-game achievement, which would mean that the achieve would be locked to people that want to spend (or have already spent) more real money, so it wouldn't really fit perfectly.

The devs already added "crazy" achievements for doing something crazier than most people would be willing to (back in ye olden days, "the Insatiable" was nigh upon ridiculous to get because of how much work getting 1 relic was, even if most of the time requirement was just farming up the philo tomes), so I don't think it would be all that out of place. Plus, "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears! Oh My!"

Congratulations on your mounts! I also wanted to say thanks for your posts, they help me be a better tank. Cheers!

Or a carriage being pulled by the lion and the bear. Lion, bear, and carriage, oh my.

I would love this idea, +1!

How about a swarm of bees "mount" where you just run really fast while being stung repeatedly?

I don't know if the people suggesting other mounts are doing so just to suggest other mounts, or if they don't get the reference.

The achievement should give you either a hot air balloon or red shoes...

Why not? Those're awesome, lol.

Well if you are going to do OZ references, I would think a flying opo minion with a little fez would be appropriate.

I think she meant that as a joke. The joke being there's an abundance of puns already. A good thing.

Can I dub this a "what kind of mount would you want" thread [go ahead and point out 20 other mount threads idc]? I played Mabinogi for years and mounts were that game's bread and butter. Used to the subject. But Final Fantasy is more interesting in that they have certain mobs they must stick to in keeping with the feel of the FF genre. To the Bestiary!

My vote's for a Cactuar Mount to prove what a tough ass I am. But only if it keeps it's bizarre walking animations!

Can I please get a Bard-specific mount of a floating Grand Scale that is being strummed out of my harp with moving music clefs, before we add another tank-specific mount?

Manbearpig mounts.

Also...hoping next CT counts for the lion/bear mount. (not holding my breath on it)

It's so weird to see a regular bear like that in eorzea right?
The lion is like on steroids so it doesn't count.
It's like every other animal / specie is unique in a way ( body structure, habitat, name, colour, how it moves) .
But for someone reason there is a bear out of nowhere lol
Like when i 1st did halatali hm i was like woahhhhhhhhhh a normal bear!????
Might aswell bring more normal animals for other classes that aren't on steroids.

I think miqotes should get a tiger, b/c miqotes are awesome. Nough said.

This really made me laugh, but at the same time I kind of wanna see this in game.
