Hey dev team, please please can we have:
Phoenix Mount!!
https://finalfantasy14account.com/wp...alCoil-3-4.png
Whatever lore plot holes you have to create, massage and exploit please give us the Phoenix mount to ride on. Twintania is great for the nostalgic raiders who now feel as though the tables have turned and she's no longer riding us into wipetown constantly, but she's damn ugly! FFXIV's competition has the likes of:

...Kirin means you're not afraid of the glitter either!
Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
Lethys,

Why don't you put all your requests in a single thread?

FFXIV can't make nice looking mounts. If they made a phoenix, it would probably look retarded just like Warlion or Midgardsormr does.(PS3 LIMITATIONS, SERVER LIMITATIONS). I'd rather they redirect their resources into something more important.

Not enough words allowed to include everything in a single thread and still justify them, I tried! But this is my last for today, sorry :)

Keep up the good work with the suggestions. ,] -

All subjective I guess, but you can get behind the idea of having a Phoenix mount right? :P

Yes she's from Dragon Quest, yes it would be a ridiculous cross event, but I will cry if they ever put Ramia in this game complete with her theme Heavenly Flight.

Sadly this would be more appropriate for DQX, which we'll never get =\ -

My Fat Chocobo is really a Phoenix that is bad at burning off calories.
-
08-13-2015, 01:29 AMAshkendorNot really. It'd be super weird to be riding around on an old Elezen dude's avian alter ego. Considering everything Louisoix said about his desire for Phoenix to be kept secret, I don't see how a lore reason could be invented.Quote:

08-13-2015, 01:30 AMReaperking386and that is your opinion. I think the mounts are amazing. They are very detailed, allowing some to come with music while you ride them.Quote:

So long as we have to invite 10 additional friends to the game to get it, I'm all for it. /s

08-13-2015, 02:10 AMDanyawlYeah on the secrecy front that's a good point. Still though, the moral of the story is more BLING in mount form please. Kirin was a step in the right direction!Quote:

Don't think that'll happen. Phoenix is a major lore figure in the game, and if you want to use WoW comparisons, it would be asking to ride around on Alexstrasza. It's not going to happen. You may as well make a thread asking to ride on Bahamut while you're at it.
That said, I could see them making some kind of firebird mount unrelated to Phoenix. -

Eh, not really keen on a phoenix.

There's most likely going to be a Bennu minion at some point given this artwork
Artwork tends to showcase things even before they are available (one had a minion in it that didn't pop up until a year later if I recall correctly).
Given the lore of the game surrounding FFXIV's Phoenix, we will probably never see a mount. -

Phoenix can never be a mount as it is a Primal and all Primal's, even the ones with good intentions, are bad (they're killing Hydaelyn simply by existing in physical form).

I want Garuda or Shiva to be mount! :D
