A normal horse mount

Not a horse with a glowing mane.

Not a horse with a GC tied saddle/emblem.

Not a horse with a fancy pants saddle and tassels all over.

Not a horse with wings making it into a pegasus.

Not a horse with a horn making it a unicorn.

Not an armor plated horse or a robot horse.

I just want...a NORMAL horse... Even if it's just titan's horse without the glow on it.

Coming soon to a Mogstation near you!

Um, that's because it is a unicorn (the game outright identifies it as such!). This is a rather silly comment.

The lore of the game is that horses are not native to Eorzea at all, only unicorns are - the few horses found there were imported from the Far East (such as the Grand Company warhorses), or are magical constructs like Odin's steed Slepinir, as chocobos are the preferred mount for the more rocky terrain.

Besides, this is a Final Fantasy game, horses are usually rare in FF games anyway (chocobos are the usual replacement for transportation). They may introduce a plain saddleless horse mount in the future, as anything is possible, but it's unlikely.

There is one, but it still uses some... wouldn't call it an armor, it's more like dressing. You can get a mount for 4 full clears of Heaven on High dungeon.

Pretty sure this was them hating on Juedi too since it does have a fancy pants saddle and tassels. That said to OP, Juedi is likely as close to a 'normal' horse as we're going to get.

They do have a 'normal' variant of the primal ponies on the Steppes, but I just can't see them releasing it. Not unless it ends up as a PVP reward or something.

I was actually looking to make a thread on this. I really want a pleb horse to ride. The model not only exists already, but you can actually ride them during the namazu quests. That means they already validated all of the rigging and everything. Shouldn't take much work at all to make it a mount you can have.

I'd also like a vanilla falcon like the ones you ride in the Far East.

I would really rather they didn't add any more horses as they are terrible at animating their gait. If a RL horse cantered the way in game horses do, folks would be summoning vets and animal welfare officers left right and centre

Oh well then. The mount is good, though, I still want to get it.

That is way too cheap for a mogstation mount.

That's actually a typical price for single character mounts, if not less. They cost €8.40, I don't think they are much more expensive in $.

Single character? I'm out.

You said horse, SE heard "Horsebird".

Namazu quests have you ride s normal horse

I would like plain doggo's without the wings. Wish at least one in each series was like that.

For a second I misread a normal house mount and was wondering when we were getting a Baba Yaga event.

You could go play WoW as Alliance for a while. You'll end up with more ordinary horses than you you can stand :)

It's a limited mount, you see. Not usable by lizard men.

Yet we can visit the Far East since the release of the Stormblood expansion, so it would make perfect sense to be able to purchase a horse mount from the region to which it is native.

Okay, now I want it in the game.

A Normal Horse would have been good as one a PvP mount purchased with wolfmarks since the newest PvP mode is set in the Steppes.

I'm moreso implying we have a ton of the same exact horse models but they planted on "something" to change it into something magical. Idc if it's FF or not, it's an mmo and we have horses in every single other way at this point. I see no reason since hitting the east why we can't get the regular horses and the regular falcon from the falcon porters.

Well, Chocobos kinda are the horse of Final Fantasy.

I'll admit, though, I didn't know there wasn't just a regular horse available as a mount. Can't hurt to add one.

Well, aren't you just a choosy beggar.

can I have an extra fat version of the dodo bird?

This may just be me but the normal horses int he steppe always felt weird in an uncanny way anyway. I guess I'm just used to Chocobos being the 'horses' of FF games so ever really felt a desire for one myself. Would be nice if they added one in though since they already exist for people that do want them.

I'd love a normal horse mount, preferably without the weird curly tail that looks strange while running.

Pls SE.

Holy crap I'm not the only one who thinks this. Ironically I've noticed that their running animations appear slightly more natural when they're flying, at least when it comes to the Primal ponies and the pegasus mount. The lack of motion in their neck is what stands out to me the most...

I feel like every horse in the game looks weird in one way or another, but yeah the Steppe horses lack the glowing particle effects of their Primal counterparts so there's little to distract from their awkward appearance.
There's a mob in the Grand Cosmos that is reskin of the Red Hare mount without the extravagant barding and my god do I wish they had kept it on. Its legs seem far too short and lanky for its huge muscular body and I feel so bad for it...

Sometimes I wish the game would revisit Odin. The guy could host his own raid to be completely honest, and would be a great way to give him the respect he deserves and also open up some seriously kick arse glamours.

Rather than post a new thread, I felt I'd want to unearth this existing one.

I sport a lot of simple villager glams, and would very much like a basic brown horse mount to go with it. As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, the animations for riding them on the ground already exist since you can ride one in the Namazu beast tribe quests. It's just a matter of making it available as a mount, and probably giving it the same flight animation as one of the other horses.

Now that the Onsal Hakair exists as a PvP map, perhaps it could be added to the PvP vendor for Wolf Marks.

Edit - And for the people posting in the thread, yes, I am aware of the PvP horses. I've unlocked the Adders horse and the Maelstrom horse, and am about halfway on my Flames horse. As an aside, it is regrettable GC restrictions apply to the horse mounts, but it's understandable.

Would be interesting to have "simple" mounts for the people that don't want to adhere to the "heroic one of a kind hero" fantasy and those that RP as more common adventures. And Wolf Marks for the more mundane horse would be a good idea.

There was a multiple quests in the Azim Steppe that made use of the normal horse.
I was hoping we'd get one from them. But we didn't.

Cash shop jokes aside, I'd like to see the the Steppe give us this from some quest. The milti-part fate where you take down a 'primal' and get a housing reward could have been a good chance to do this. It was a really good fate series, actually.

Nah. Considering that they're from Mateus, and a xaela, they probably just want it for roleplay. The xaela are a horse culture. Kinda strange that the closest thing to a normal horse mount has a bunch of Eorzea branding.

Their request is reasonable, though they're wrong about one thing. If SE ever released a "steppes destrier" it would likely have the sigla of the sun or moon on its blanket.

True, if they ever did they likely would gussy it up a bit.

I'd also like to see more 'normal' looking mounts added to the game. A regular horse and a regular falcon, please!

i would honestly really love this tbh... tho i support both

Also support the more general "generic low-fantasy" mounts. Like the wagon we start off in w/ the twins at the verrrry beginning of the game. Why can't we have a travel wagon to drag friends around in.

I agree, a horse would be nice; When the team learns how to actually model and design a horse and not what they have been giving us.

I really dislike XIV's horses. X: I'd be down for something that had a normal mane/tail.

I think it would have been nice to have a standard version of all the ex mounts without glow, wings etc.
