If we could help modify it so isn't so aggressive and hungry all the time, would you want it as a special summon and possibly a mount? :3
I just cleared Abyssos normal the other day and seeing Proto Carbuncle for the first time threw me for a loop, lmao! Its like Proto Carbuncle ate our old poison and bio spells from previous expansions and got corrupted by multiple primal's aether after absorbing them. Its f*cking great!
So about Proto Carbuncle...

Someone say mogstation item.
We all know they are going to do that in near future! -
09-27-2022, 09:15 AMSoge01That would be unfortunate. It would make for a nice Summoner mount. Could be unlocked the same way Tank mounts are unlocked: play as a Summoner for "x" amount of times in Abyssos Fifth Circle and you unlock the Proto Carbuncle mount.Quote:

Should be Egi glam you get from clearing it on Savage.

09-27-2022, 09:17 AMSoge01Would make for a nice Ifrit alternative skin. Also, that would be hilarious running around with a tiny slobbering Proto Carbuncle that replaces are old one. I would love to pet it and feed it from da hand. x3Quote:

Look on the bright side: If you ask a lot, just like Pagaga's emote, 2 years from now you will have this mount on the mogstation to generate money for another SE release. Then we can all open "thank you" threads for Square Memex, and tell all the angry ones that "if you don't want it, don't buy it" (did I do that right?)
Criticism aside, it might as well be a mount. I really liked the design, and would be an addition to the badass and monstrous mount troop -

I woulda loved a proto carby mount for this tier - i wanna be carried like a burger waaaaaa
-
09-27-2022, 11:27 AMSoge01It would make a perfect savage mount! :DQuote:

Lmao, I can imagine out character being carried like a corpse in Proto Carbuncle's open jaw. The Lalafells could be carried with half their body sticking out with their legs outstretched in the air. xDQuote:

Do we have any pre-existing manticore/diresaur-type mounts as reference? I think the gorillas might use that base model.
-
09-27-2022, 12:13 PMKageTokage
We have multiple gorilla mounts, but no diresaur/manticore models.
The mount would be nice if not just for an excuse to have access to Silent Scream or Scream on demand from its mount theme. -
09-27-2022, 01:54 PMSoge01Yeah, the thing Yoshi-P needs to really stop clingning to is the notion that having the ability to change our mount's music break immersion. When almost every mount has the same generic "flying mount" tune from Heavenward, including mounts that should have their own unique songs. Does "immersion breaking" matter anymore? Especially when you have to turn the mount music off just so you don't have to hear the same mount music almost all your mounts share over and over again. xDQuote:

He’d make a nice guard dog.

09-27-2022, 02:03 PMSoge01Have him in front of your FC/personal house. It'd drool its acidic saliva everytime a juicy little lalafell passes by. This is what happens when you train Proto Carbuncle to eat only Popotos so it won't go attacking random strangers unless they tresspass. They'll eat anything even remotely shaped like that. xDQuote:

Lol, that a cute drawing. I hope we can do that with our Carbuncles for real one day. :3 -

I’ll have it eat anyone indiscriminately lol -
09-27-2022, 03:06 PMIscahSince when was "immersion breaking" ever the excuse for not setting specific mount music? My understanding is that it has always been about how many songs they can store in the mount music system, which may have a hard cap over the life of the game so they tend to be frugal about how many they add.Quote:

The Idea of Egi glam is long dead, they have multiple versions of them in game you can fight, i remember a smn fight against sephirot egis but even that was too much effort to add them as a glamour. I was really hoping that Carbuncle was Savage mount but we got a reskin of the O4s snake and the Firebird ... which is easier and it kinda makes sense as you see it in P8s, but feels very underwhelming.
So yea ... in best case you see it in Mogstation because SE loves their carbuncle merch. -
09-27-2022, 08:31 PMJandor
I want a teeny tiny carbuncle sized proto-carby glam for my carbuncle.
-
09-28-2022, 09:24 AMSoge01Then it'll have quite the colorful food selection. xDQuote:

Haven't seen either of those mounts yet, but I'm assuming its because Hesphestios uses them when we fight him in Abyssos 8th Circle.Quote:

It has to still have its extendable tongue, so when we kill an enemy, Smol Proto Carbuncle eats them. xDQuote:

09-28-2022, 12:41 PMAurikai
They should sale that green crack thing he ate off the floor, to allow us to morph into him for like 30 seconds, even if we can't attack anything.
-
09-29-2022, 09:47 AMSoge01It would be one of the best mounts in the game!Quote:

It's kind of annoying that we got an Alte-Roite/Phoenix/Yol reskin for the savage mount instead of Proto-Carbuncle... I would have preferred that SO much better. Fingers crossed for next tier...

09-29-2022, 11:12 PMSylnHalloween event : Proto Carbuncle attire as a reward and the mount is add to the mogstation :3Quote:

all those early pulls by Ifrit-egi in Stormblood when glamoured as a Carbuncle were just the ancestral memory of proto-carbuncle peeking through.
