Magitek Armor mount love thread.

It appears from the live letter translation that they are taking Magitek Armor seriously as a mount based on positive feedback for it from us.

#XIVLive Q: What kind of other mounts will there be aside from chocobos in the future?

A: When we did a survey on the forums, we received a lot of requests for "Magitek Armor" as an example. Things like that will be a good reference going forward!

Since i have not seen a proper Magitek Armor thread going around yet. ...

That would be one very awesome mount.

Haha!

But yeah, I think it would be fantastic to have Magitek in this game =) if not as a mount, then possibly for missions! Someone in an older thread suggested that Chocobo mounts could be used for specific missions where we can't normally traverse, so it'd be great if something similar could be done with Magiteks! Perhaps infiltrating the Garlean Empire?

Magitek mounts would be the best thing ever, I've been dreaming about since after FFVI (my favourite). :D

OR, just a lot more magitek things. Actually, at first, I thought Garleans would wear magitek things all the time. :D

As I said in the other one:

I certainly hope they don't just go with the exact same kind of ideas/designs as FFVI. They should really get a little creative and make it fit with this world.

Magitek is all well and good if they do it right. I just don't want to see them get lazy and just do a copy/paste from FFVI. This world has its own design and technology level and as such we should see unique magitek.

This is good news! I was worried that chocobos were going to be the only mounts.
Thanks for the info!

This would be awesome, mount diversity is common in other MMOs. Just happy about chocos for now though.

Ga.. I dunno, I wouldn't mind it to a point but I don't want to be as advanced as the Empire.
And I don't want to look like part of it, i love how they look all badass.

Though a Harp bow that swaps from one to the other like lights sword... OWW... OK I'm in..

Just no to the mounts, seriously..

In the joke thread where someone pretended to translate a Russian interview with the devs, the OP mentioned using magitek to get through pools of acid and the like. It was all just the OP joking, of course, but something like could be added for places like the Aurum Vale. That way we could have magitek mounts in specific zones, and keep the clomping of machinery out of topside Eorzea.

Here is the Aurum Vale for people that haven't seen it, and be warned it's spoilers of a sort (zone not yet accessible in-game.)

Magitek CLASS (not job) > 'mount'

I'd prefer if magitek was restricted to certain zones (ie. within the Garlean empire). Also, Magitek should not be summon-able remotely by whistling or any other method.

I really like the idea of using to traverse certain inhospitable terrain.

Magitek Armor seems like a great idea. I can't really think of any other mounts for this game. How would it work though? An Idea I have is to allow is to partake quests to collect all of the parts to build one. Aside from a mount people can use, certain features can be restricted to certain classes....like:

DoH using Magitek Armor can gather materials from places only Magitek Armor can get to. Or maybe material too hard for normal tools to penetrate

Just no to the mounts, seriously..

Story wise we're already well on our way to acquiring that kind of technology ourselves. I imagine once we figure out how to make it we'll start making Eorzean style magitek machines. It's pretty much confirmed right there that we'll see those kinds of mounts. As to what form they'll take, that's a completely different matter. I mean they won't look the same as the Garlean ones I would imagine so they kind of have a blank slate to work with here.
