Other Mount Foot Prints

So in a patch a while back; Chocobo's and players finally got to smash their feet into snow and sand to leave behind trails and foot prints. Yet other mounts such as Couerl, Behemoth, Gobbues, Magitech, Drakes, Elbst, Bears, Lions and the various horses were left without imprints in the sand/snow making them seem like they do not exist. That they're merely rideable holograms.

Will we see the other mounts get their foot prints implemented in the same way the chocobo's have?

I mean you have their foot prints in the Mount Manual already; so why not allow them to truly get their claws, paws, feet, and hooves dirty?

Especially since we do have the mount manual now, I would love to see all the mounts prints in snow/sand! +1 to this!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who notices little things like this. Yes, please!

PS3 limi...nah, not this time.


Would be nice and I always wondered about the missing tracks.

I can't say I noticed this, I'm far far too attached to my chocobo and refuse to use anything else. If it's stabled I'll just run instead.

I really hope this gets implemented though. It's small things like this that make immersion into games top-tier.

If only this were true...and just the fever dream of someone who wants everything with claws and fangs in a harness.

I like them clawed/fanged mounts! :D Also just updated my post to include the War Bear and Lion cause I totally forgot about them! D:

Also I doubt the soon to be wolf mount everyone will be riding from the Ixal vendors will have footprints! D:

Oh really, that's interesting.

I haven't really noticed since I only ride my chocobo (it is a FF game after all) and ignore most of the other mounts.

More reason to stick to just chocobo.

I support this even though I have not noticed since I mostly use company chocobo and when he is stabled - bomb palanquin (which obviously is not suposed to have footprints).

I say its a waste of resources ooooo look at the footprints that is furthest thing from my mind right now lol

oh yea a waste of resaorses GUYS STOP MAKING AN IMERSIVE GAME AND START ON ...... *dramatic music* THE GRINDING *DUNUNUN DUN UN DUNUNUN* :P


anyway joking aside it wouldn't take to much since we have the footprints in the mount guide so it shouldn't be that difficult for them to just take that foot print texture and move it for that :D

I actually do want better music.

I want epic and the old squaresoft music back I also want enix to put some epic music in also.


Think im playing I dont want mmo music I want music they make for single player games.

Don't get me wrong I do like new soundtracks but to me back then they tried to capture the essence of the fights and got you pumped up for the fight.

I miss how you would come to a boss and all of a sudden epic music started to play that kept me wanting to play the games.

Reason I think Sephiroth and kefka became iconic bosses because their music captured their evil persona.

Thats what I want from this game just something that captures the land and captures the bosses something that sounds like a boss fight not something that is soothing. like gilgamesh was good it captured him

the black knights from orgre tactics example you knew you were in a fight with them or final fantasy tactics.

I know atlus was apart of the ps1 and square enix psp version is nice.

And as per your previous post about wasted resources. If that were the case they wouldn't put in player or chocobo foot prints; much less had little plinks when the rain hits the ground. They also have plans to have water pool in certain locations during rain so your "wasting resources" theory is insufficient.

Would love to see 3d foot prints if we're talking about footprints at least :P, in a number of games they create small (convex) piles of snow to make the snow look like it has semi-physical presence rather than a solid surface. Concave snow prints would be a bit (a lot) more exciting (work) to implement (lol), shadows are very cheap effective way to make a concave look.

I absolutely notice these things and it would definitely increase my immersive feeling in the game. Low priority but I would appreciate fixing some of the mount's tracks. 3d tracks being an extra low priority, but they're cool - love crunching around in the snow or sand having the sound fit with the visual feedback.

I hadn't noticed! Yeah I'd love all mounts to have prints. :3

my other answer that foot prints is a waste of time. I am not interested in looking down and seeing a trail of my footprints. also the rain I wasn't interested in getting wet either.

Then they brought up music and I brought up music and I was on topic with that person also.

Maybe you should stay on topic and not worry about me lol

To me what they made was fine, the wet rain footprints and other stuff could have came later on in FFXIV life I probably wouldn't of cared.

I would rather ask for something I can listen to or something I could fight or something that has everything to do with story and game play not something I can stare at im not a graphics visual whore lol

Priorities are well noted but not everyone at SE is working on the same thing at the same time, keep the graphics team employed by never letting them twiddle their thumbs :P.

Whenever a minor feature or quality-of-life addition is added, there's always someone who whines, "Why are they wasting time on stupid feature X, when they should be focusing on very-important-to-me feature Y???"

Well, there's nothing stopping them from working on both X AND Y. Y wasn't ignored because they were fiddling around with feature X. Y was ignored because of one of two things: Either feature Y is too difficult to accomplish quickly (or at all) and at a reasonable cost, or feature Y just isn't as important to them (or, as they perceive it, most players) as it is to you. If it's the former, they may actually be working on it even as we speak, and you just need to wait and hope. If the latter, well, wait and hope again, but the odds of actually seeing it happen are a whole lot lower.

My Warbear needs warbear tracks!

Made me laugh haha I can see that.

(Yoshi: well we got everything done)
(graphics-team: what about us?)
(Yoshi: here you can finish making the sun reflect off the chocobo's beaks it's important that they shine bright so players can see them eat their food)

I haven't gotten the warbear yet; but I'd be disappointed if it didn't have any tracks either!

I think you're just complaining about resources to use the "waste of resources" argument without even realizing how resources work in an mmo game.
