Your character has retainers. Your character is a grand company officer. You'd think they wouldn't have to drive themselves everywhere. It would be nice if on any 2+ person mount there was the option to put an NPC in the driver's seat and hop in the passenger.
Why is there no mount where an NPC drives us?

They kinda got something like that with the chocobo rides and those birds in kugane, but their only set for certain destinations.

Does the gilded mikoshi count? There's no actual driving involved but you are being carried and flown around by a pack of namazu.

Yes, not unlike the Chauffered Chopper in WoW (it's a single-person mount with an NPC on the bike in their chauffer attire; you jump in the sidecar).
Great idea, +1. -

SWTOR has a mount where you chill in the back whilst eating grapes and getting chauffeured around. I always felt this is what the Mikoshi mount should have been. -

wish I could put my cute retainers in that ffXV car and drive around like gary oak from pokemon

09-30-2021, 06:09 AMBreakbeatYeah, that'd be even better than a random NPC. Would love to have my retainers drive me around, LOL.Quote:

Does Bomb Palanquin counts as NPC drives us?

Probably no NPC driven mount for the same reason people don't just cure any injury or illness in Pokemon by stuffing someone in a pokeball and putting them on that machine in the pokecenter.

SE could make it that the chauffeur is made with aether (after some quest) so we can call them anytime, tho. -

How about a Raubahn mount?

It's an interesting mount idea at the very least, even if it was just some machine chauffeur literally driving us. There is one that carries us though: the magitek death claw. :p

Actually, thinking on it, there are quite a few that carry us, like the gorilla one too. I'd be interested to see how creative they could be with an actual chauffeur.
