Ponies, ponies, and more ponies...

Seriously, what is the obsession with these things....

Appealing to MLP fans? *shrugs* I don't know, your guess is as good as mine (I would love to see some more original mounts more in keeping with FF lore than just another horse reskin). Having said that, Sleipnir, Unicorn and Kirin are actually FF canon so it does kind of make sense to have them here. But the Frontlines warhorse and the Nightmare and Primal horses are there just... because.

There's a number of players who just like collecting things. Their rarity (and now at least, the fact they let you listen to primal themes while mounted) is a value to people; that's all.

Ponies are cute ! ponies are love ! how can you fail to understand that ? :o

Want more insect mounts,as long as its not cockroach.

players or devs?

dev wise i think they needed something permanent that could get people to que ex's but needed something simple.

so we got pony's with skin changes and a brand new one for catching them all............. POKEMON (had to do it)

player wise collectors i know if i wasn't so lazy i would get more than garuda's myself XD

To each their own I guess... I'm not too fussed about the primal ones, only after Nightmare myself.

I'm more curious as to why people call them ponies and not horses... or donkeys.

I hope Heavensward will introduce different type of mounts and not rehash dragons only with different skins.

i want more beast type mounts

Always!
I wanna be with you...
And make believe with you...
And live in harmony harmony oh love...

Let's face it. Riding a Horse in any game is great.

Because they are very bright colours and they sparkle as well as being magically created by Primals from the base of a sacrificed Nightmare.
^ Not really the definition of a Horse. The PvP Mounts however are usually refereed to as 'Steeds' or 'PvP Horse'


I hope they get wings once they are changed to flying mounts personally. I'd do a quest for that.

Boss music without the pain of doing said boss ever again

I like their bright coloring, personally. But the fact that they added primal music is awesome, too.

(To be honest, judging by the ears the unicorns and primal ponies have, they're actually mules.)

And whats wrong with some rainbow colored horse/mule/pony things with some badass music?

I'm a girl, so this is like being 6 again and I'm totally okay with that.

Yeah I'd have to agree with you. They are more donkey looking than horse or ponies.

Donkey:
http://icanstyleu.com/blog/wp-conten...-810519918.jpg https://ourcompass.files.wordpress.c...0196.jpg?w=600

Short, stubby legged, grey, white face marking, have a "tail-stub" where the bone is covered by skin and fur as opposed to hair, dark shoulder stripe, round head.

Mule:

Similar to a horse in shape, big ears, usually have white donkey-nose marking, can't breed, tails like a horse as opposed to a donkey.

Horse:

Big, muscular, small ears.

Primal ponies are mules. .-.

In my case, I have nothing to do once i cap my poetics. I just queue for primals ex. I like to talk to friends while riding my ruda pony. Yesterday, my group got trolled by levi ex xD. We kept getting 2 swords, 2shiels, 2 books to prevent any pony drop >>.

I'm just tired of the rehash of it all.
We have almost 10 types of ponies already
all basically under a different colour and some with effects.

It's something to do at this point. Gave up trying to make a raid group, and just doing dungeons and CT was making me dislike logging in. Kirin's given my something to work towards that I'll actually be able to achieve. At 4/6 right now, so here's hoping I can get it before Heavensward.

Nightmare is a FF thing too, as are at least a couple of horses.

Or did y'all forget Crazy Horse/MadPony etc.

ADS MASTER MOUNT RACE!!!

They gave WHM a unicorn, decided to reuse the model as many times as they could for every primal (except Mog).

That's it, that's all there is to it.

I honestly did not give a shit about Primal Horses until the themes were added. Chillin and chatting with people while listening to Ramuh, or galloping across a map while Garuda's theme is playing is so cool. Once I got one, I had to get them all lol.

The lightning pony's cool and all, but it kinda weirds me out. Every time I start riding it, it starts shouting at me.

Those are the screams of the thousands of souls Ramuh has trapped on his little tree-trunk arena thing. All screaming in agony as their "farm" parties wipe over and over and over again...

I really want the Kirin...plus, I like horses/ponies/equine creatures in general, so having many to collect appeals to me. The primal music is a plus!

Is it strange when people call out for "pony farms" I see a farm that actually has ponies in them?

"Ramuh pony farm in pf."

Old Mc'Ramuh had a farm...

Would have been more cool if the design was uniquely relevant to that raid instead of just a different colour pony with different graphic effects.

You seem to being getting tunnel vision from their use of the elemental ponies and completely ignoring how much variety there are with mounts already.

I guess the music is a really cool factor but the mount themselves never appealed to me and, consequently, I was never really motivated to do the ex fights (having bad latency already deters me enough).

Okay, you love them ponies....but the best looking mount in the game is the Legacy Chocobo:)
