Petition for magic carpet mount to be adjusted into a two seater

I was happy and excited when we got to see the latest MogStation this week and a new mount. The new mount being a magic carpet very thrilling now you can take a friend and show them a whole new world in XIV. However I discovered its only a 1 seater sadface. Why make it only a one seater though surely its big enough to seat at least two. Its the perfect two seater mount to have it just make sense to be a two seater. As far as sales go I would guarantee huge increase and continued sales throughout the lifespan of XIV which should be several more years hopefully. I'm petitioning Square Enix and the Final Fantasy XIV development team to reconsider and make the mount into a two seater. I would be willing to pay additional price for it to be upgraded and be at the same price point as other two seaters on the MogStation. Hoping my fellow Final Fantasy XIV players will join me in this petition to have the magic carpet mount maded into a two seater. Please Square Enix and Final Fantasy XIV team read thing and reconsider.

lol petition. not gonna happen really. people "petition" way too many things imo.

Since it's already out as a mog station mount, they won't adjust it. It costs the same as other single seater mounts (account wide)... were they to make it a 2 seater and increase the price, that'd upset people who hadn't yet got it... were they to keep the price the same, that would upset people who have other 2 seater mounts (e.g. Fat Moogle, the whale)... in essence, they've backed themselves into a corner here.

If SE were to grant us 3 wishes, how many do you think would vote for this?

not gonna happen man

They do listen when enough people respond. Blue mage was asked for and delivered.
The fairest thing to do is remove the single seater mount one from MogStation those that have it can keep it. A second one that is a two seater is then placed at the two seater price point.

How many people did it take for that to happen?
And how long did it take to make that happen?
If I'm not mistaken, both Viera and Blue Mage have been asked for for many years.
I kinda doubt a mount change will even show up as a blip on their radar.
But who knows. Miracles might happen.

How about you can buy a second one and lvl70 weavers can stitch them together ...

The problem with a two seater is that it would look kinda awkward sitting in it alone if you’re off to the side. There’s no mounts I’m aware of that change your seating position depending on whether on not someone else is with you.

There's a $6 gap between single and multi-seater mogstation exclusive mounts, they're not likely to go back and make alterations to anything in the mogstation after the floodgates have opened when there's a clear price difference. SE probably would have sold more if it were a two seater though. Perhaps they can make a color variant that's two seater?

Do these threads ever work? People make them all the time and they never seem to go anywhere.

I wish they did...the magic carpet looks kinda big for just one person. It really is a missed opportunity on SE’s part.

Why exactly "makes sense" to be a 2 seater mount? Just because of the movie? Like, really? And what you propose is absurd. There's enough mounts to share with others, next thread!

Hey it would be ahem.

A WHOLE NEW WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD

If a Roegadyn player is saying its kinda too big, then it really is too big! I am all for it being a two seater

General discussion seems to be more a politics forum these days. Everywhere you look it seems to be filled sky people petitioning for things and not much general discussion. Petitioning for races. Petitioning for glam. Petitioning for jobs and adjustments. Petitioning for carpets to fit two people which I'm sure will go the same way the mikoshi petition went....

There is very few two seater a int he a game yet people seem to think every new mount should be a two seater. It's not like there was a precedent set and they suddenly stopped. Not counting the fact we all pretty much got a four seater for free in the game. A half hour quest but they could have charged 40 bucks for It so be grateful for small victories and be happy we got a flying carpet at all but it ain't changing to a 2 seater in this games lifetime

Then if they make it a 2 seater, people would complain its not a 4 seater....

I think this is the reason for it. Make it a dual-seater and you can never have the "single person sitting in the centre of the carpet" pose.

It does look a bit big for a single-seater though.

Why would that be "fairer" than simply leaving the single-seater version up for sale and adding a separate two-seater version?

The irony in that bolded statement is that, this is actually fits reasonably within General Discussion. The actual political discussions (or the devolving of it) in threads like

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...erogatory-term...

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ns-please-read.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l-reason-given

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...tion-Queen-Why

And of course, many many more. Heck, there are some threads that start real normal-like, and then one person says something that triggers the next person, then five more chip in to declare the opinion's offensive and make essay styled posts about why the opinion's wrong (even though the original poster pretty much point blank states his/her opinion is purely subjective) and then it just becomes noise in like, 5 pages because people feel either echoing in their own words why the opinion's wrong is going to magically make the fire-starter poster see the light.

So yeah, if I had to choose between people making requests about the game vs people who need a stage to fight the great injustices of the world that a game's not responsible for, I'm gonna go with the regular game requests.


Also on topic: Personal experience has taught me it's not gonna happen to it. Could there be a re-skinned version of it some years (yes, plural) later with 2 seater capability? Possibly but wouldn't hold my breath on it unless the demand was as persistent and huge as say, BLU, that someone mentioned.

NARRATIVE CAUSALITY DEMANDS IT!

Or how else can one take a Significant Other, over, sideways, and under on a magic carpet ride?

Double entendres aside, that is?

It certainly had the potential, however I believe Cloud's Fenrir bike has first priority when it comes to 'Mounts that should have seen a 2 seater'

Yeah, I think the bike should've been a 2 seater as well, but I do love it as it is. For the magic carpet it's really silly it's not a 2 seater mount. They released the magic carpet around the time the Aladdin remake came out on the cinemas, so it would've been perfect if it was a 2 seater. As it is, I'm not paying 25$ for the magic carpet mount bc it's solo only, there's not even any meme potential. I can't ride around with my SO in it. I'm pretty happy with my other solo mounts.

I think if they do release it as a two seater they could just do a two seater in addition to the current one seater, that way would be most fair imo

Maybe later on they will add 2 person flying carpet mount to weaver master recipes.
