Kk so. Gobbues. The best damn thing to come to this game since idk. Forever.

Ok let me start off by saying i love the Gobbue mount thank you for putting it in devs!

That being said. Honestly.. People are QQing about getting a mount that NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE ON THE PS3 AND POST 2.0!

I am amazed and also confused. I read a lot of silly stuff on the forums but this just takes the cake.

I have played alot of WoW in my days and so iv come to this conclusion.

FF14 is nothing like WoW and this is how i have came to this conclusion.

Just because a game has mounts does not make it WoW. Now if we all followed that logic for a moment. Lets see how many MMO's i can name of the top of my head that would be "WoW Clones"

1. FF14
2. Everquest
3. Dragona
4. Aion

and thats just a few that comes to mind right now.

All in all. Stop Complaining about having something that no one else will be able to get.

Thanks.

First let's take some of this...

Honestly, I'm glad some people are enjoying these for longer than 2 minutes. I just don't see it lasting and hope I can hide the icon and/or possibly not have to see them at all.

oh could you guys please just post i'm pro or con goobbue mounts? i'm getting confused.

If you didn't like them, you didn't have to talk to the NPC to get one in the first place.

OH NO, HOW DID YOU EVER FIND OUT! IT'S GOING TO GET OUT TO THE PRESS!!! IT'S A SCANDAL!!!


Of course I was going to do/play with any new content Square gives us. I am just disappointed in their timing and choice of this particular piece, which is not long lasting, quality content (something we are in dire need of). You guys read too much into this stuff.

I HATE IT - I HATE IT - I HATE IT - Excuse me, how much is it? Ok I'll take one, yes... no no just one please. Thanks. - I HATE IT - I HATE IT - I HATE IT.

SE SDM: Ok boiz and goilz we need to put a riding Goobbue in the game
SE SDM: So, halt all work you're doing and get to work, we need all hands on deck for this bad boy!
SE Worker: Wait, I'm just the janit.....
SE SDM: I DONT GIVE A F^&* WE NEED EVERYONE FOR THIS MAJOR OPERATION!

Some people have thick skulls, it obvious that this was a major undertaking and they had to assign everyone to working on it.



OT: So, what is not long lasting about this? Pretty sure I'll have the Goobbue forever... that seems pretty long to me. /puzzled. Oh, maybe you wanted another Darkhold like instance because that's still being used all the tiii.....oh w4it.

They need to work on the camera angles. I prefer my choco it looks classic, and I'm anxious for the armour!

Best picture i have seen on these forums yet.

Uhh yeah i can do a pros an cons take me two seconds.

Pros:

Hes goofy looking and makes me laugh
Runs as fast as a chocobo
Generally unique mount
Wont be able to get them after 2.0

Cons:

You have to stare at his butt all day which is yes saggy
Hes fat i want my gobbue to go on a diet
You cant name him. :[
You have to zoom your camera out sooo far to be able to run on them.

Nice play. Again, you guys are making it out to be raging when it's more of a disappointment that they didn't spent their time (however much it took) on something else. I like Goobbues. I think the Goobbue mount implementation was a little poor, though. The blanket doesn't look quite right to me, the field of view is mostly obstructed, and you couldn't name it. Also, we JUST GOT two other modes of travel a couple of months ago, we could've had something else done with this time.

I did like the music.

I mainly view the Goobbue as not being long lasting content because it's more of a "LOLIAMONAGOOBBUELOOKATME" type of content. It's silly and you can think of random ways of getting a laugh out of it every once in a while, but it's just not meaty at all. The majority of people will get one, use it a couple of times, then forget about it.

No - you make it sound like raging. It's one thing to say "the camera angle needs to be fixed".. it's another to say "It's not good, I don't want to see them at all, I want to remove the icon from my game, they should have done something else".


Ps - get used to more mounts coming http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...858#post524858

Pss - this isn't an 'additional' mode of transportation, it's a different model. After all .. variety is the spice of life!

See, now you're just trying to antagonize instead of carrying on a conversation. I thought we were making progress. "HAR U DON'T LIKE IT - GET USED TO IT!" Yeah, sure man. I'm so mad right now.

I suppose I expected too much.

In a year, this horn icon will be taking up space. You and I will randomly call forth our goobbue, chuckle at his ass and his flailing arms, then put him back away for weeks at a time. I hope the development team at least combines the various mounts to one icon and allows you to change them via the configuration menu.

They already commented on that. It's not going to happen until 2.0. So yeah... get used to it is a good answer. I guess it could be seen as an inconvenience... if you play on a 14" monitor.

All jokes aside.. its this big [ ] even with 5 more mounts [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] it's not game breaking, it doesn't destroy your screen - did you see the UI for 2.0? Check out how many icons are on that microbar, for real itz leik dubble the number we have nao!

People who are all for this stuff are pretty rude..... I already said i'm happy for you guys that are enjoying it, now you guys just rub it on our faces >.>

To your post you can add:

5. Rift.

Check out the number of rages threads, then come back. Check out the number of rage threads again, then come back. Relax a few minutes. Begin to post in a calm manner.

Please goo look at all the goobuu threads, they over shadow the hate ones, as you see, I don't have a post in one of those threads. Also, you made a thread pretty much saying "HURP DURP MORE MOUNTS COMMING IN YOUR FACE" soo. I really don't see what you are getting at ^.^.

Ummm no.... I made 2 posts that were 'Herp De Derp' lots of mounts more mounts mounts mounts and mounts.

The number of Goobbue threads in general is off the chart, but there are just as many rage threads as there are praise threads.

Chill, rem, what bothers me is people are soo hung over this goobuu crap, that they are overshadowing other important stuff... like.... http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...14-Player-poll

The main benefit this has is that players who have alts on other servers or never went through the GC quest chain will be able to get a usable mount without having to go through the constant back and forth tedium of quest completion for one. I have two friends with secondary characters who now have a usable mount to get from point A to point B. They didn't want to go through the whole GC quest chain again, so this was good timing for them.

Granted, I would still prefer to be on a chocobo (camera angle, and I swapped the music so that my personal chocobo has the rental music), but a free mount is a free mount, and if it didn't take SE much resources or time to make this, no biggie. I think I'm usually clumped into the people who like to give SE a hard time on bad decisions, but I don't see where the problem is with this. I'm not a fan of the goobue mob - I'd rather be riding something badass like a drake, but hey, it's free, it takes zero effort to get, and it's almost as good as the original thing. I'm not complaining.

They already commented on the player poll in a DEV response a few days before you made that thread.

However the "mount talk" is not overshadowing anything... they have the player poll in there plans, they will do it when it's ready (just like everything else)! Is talking about Mounts overshadowing 1.21? Have they stopped working on it because we haven't talked about it in General Discussion?

I'm very chill, I just take the FFXIV as troll grounds at this point - between the rage, lack of logic, constant back and forth, there is no real point to even attempt to take this stuff seriously. This really isn't anything new though.

Well, rem, how can questions be delayed, also, there is better discussion to be held than goobuus, that's the point i was trying to make.

I love how divisive this addition has been. I'm apparently the only one here that does not care either way. I am grateful that square is giving a little fanservice in return for the subscriptions, as cheap as that may be.

On the other hand, I'd still rather ride my chocobo on the day to day. So, whatever. At least they're doing something. And at least if they keep doing more something's, we'll eventually have uh....a lot of somethings. And those somethings will make a good game. Not that it's really BAD as it is now, but just saying.

And I'm apparently the only one who still remembers the early days of FFXI where Square just basically stomped all over the community and didn't even communicate scheduled server downtimes. And there are those of us that apparently want to go back to THAT. No thanks.

I don't think distinct mounts make a game any more WoW-esque. Plenty of MMO's have started using mounts, and it's for two reasons. First, hardware (and software) is getting better. People are building bigger, better worlds because the computers can now support them. How do you travel in a bigger, better world? Mounts. Second, people like 'unique' things they have to work for. People also like exclusive things that they must be lucky to obtain.

The problem with this game is that many who are playing it are instantly looking at FFXI and looking at FFXIV, comparing the two, and concluding that any changes between them must have been WoW-inspired. FORGET the fact that even though you could only have a chocobo, you could customize it, raise it, make it a different color, etc. No -- FFXI only had 'one mount' in some people's eyes, despite all this customization. And now FFXIV plans to have more!? Oh -- it must be copying WoW!

No, people. They just want to make it unique. There are plenty of things WoW has that FFXIV doesn't have, and things FFXIV has that WoW does not. Plenty of people have played FFXI, WoW, and FFXIV to cap levels, done the end-level content, done the 'hard' things to do, and can conclude that they are very, very different.

All MMO's 'learn' from each other. Did you know that WoW was NOT the first game to implement an achievement-like system? It was not the first to have unique, individual mounts either. I can understand why people like to put WoW down... it's so successful and old, and we are playing a game that's new and building itself from the ground up. It's a common camaraderie we have among us, and it started with FFXI when people would proudly say they would rather play FFXI than WoW. But seriously, guys. There are so many MMO's out there now that you really don't have to start in with the "OH THIS IS JUST LIKE WoW" talk. They are different worlds, and different stories. WoW is based on warcraft lore, and FF is based on a mixture of new storylines and common themes among all FF's. How do you not see this very basic difference?

I welcome unique mounts, so long as they are more difficult to obtain than the Goobbue, and the dev's already said they would be.
