Mount Action made available for all mounts

I think it would be super cool. :) I know it would be a dev time investment to incorporate older mounts without actions, but I'm sure everyone would enjoy it.

Has this been suggested before? I haven't seen it but I assume it's something everyone would want for their favorite mount.

What would the Primal mounts do?

I'd like to see some mounts that incorporate actions that do something functional, like a leap (that's actually jump) or short blink. Or perhaps a few mounts that just have some different behaviors because they can, like one might expect from some Guild Wars 2 mounts (some drift, leap, float, control different like, or have speed little speed mini games in them). Although attention to making sure that their feature is not "passively 100% faster than other mounts" lol, it's for flavor but not for replacing all your other mounts.

Of course I'm not against non-functional things, like what we have (fake attacks).

I'd want it too! :)
This is there for the ground-only mounts in WoW and I'd be pleased to see it available in a very lively game as FFXIV.

It would be priceless to see Behemoth mounts spamming Meteor that does zero damage ;p

or the Typhon mount that actually sneezes and does Fungah.

Model-O/Omega mount should have you spin on the top like his does during Pantokrator or have the spinning lights or do Atomic Ray as an action, or heck even the powerful Delta Attack.

It's a shame Typhon doesn't already sneeze since the mount used in A6 does have the mount action already. Missed opportunity. Heck, also, give Typhon the Decisive Battle music from Dragon's Neck Colosseum.

More of the mounts need to take advantage of the wonderful songs we have in the game instead of constantly re-using the generic ARR and HW mount songs.

I would really like to see more mount actions. Have Fenris/Fenrir be able to give a mighty howl or your company chocobo be able to dash in short spurts while on the ground. The PvP horses could rear up with maybe your character throwing team colored fireworks. Some mounts could even just make sounds. I would just like mounts to have more character to them and not just them acting all the same. I don't want to compare FF14 to another MMO, but I've seen how others handle mounts and they tend to give them more than just superficial character.

All I'd like to see is the cast time removed from the older mount actions that take time to use. I want to drive-by sneeze on people with my Goober, but I can't because I have to stand still for 2 seconds to use it. Same with the flame breath on the wyvern and maybe a few others, I dunno. Most new mount actions are instant, so you don't have to stop.

Company Chocobo should get a bonus where once its rank is maxed out it gets an action that either gives it a quick 5 second dash forward, or a buff that increases mount speed by 15% or something.

I would just like them to make all the Beast Tribe mounts get their quest actions. We have a couple but it would be nice if all of them got them.

Oh I'd like that a lot, but expand on it even more :3!

Like every few ranks, and if they ever add chocobo paradise training there. Of course nothing that's like "chocobo mount is 400% faster than everyone else, so like.. don't bother using other mounts anymore".

I could see things like glide - massively reducing fall damage (dont die at 1 hp when in that new expansion area from a fall + aggro lol), a mini chocobo sprint mechanic, a chocobo jump (greater height/speed + glide), not related to movement but chocobo hot and cold game could unlocked around rank 2 or some such.
