FFXVI Phoenix Mount Please

So for FFXIV's tenth anniversary we become the phoenix with the new mount. That is awesome, but you know what would be even cooler?

If we BECAME the XVI phoenix. With the upcoming graphical updates, this mount would be an absolute banger among FFXIVs phoenix mounts.

Dont we already have at least two other phoenix mounts? Three if we count the Bennu.

The FFXVI phoenix blows all the others in the series out of the water.

unlike the joshua, louisoix actually made bahamut a donut and didnt become one. so i would have to say louisoix is the best pheonix in the series.

We already get a lot of recolors/reskins of various mounts why would adding another phoenix be any different.

We have got reskins but unless you count all the extreme trial mounts as being unique then Phoenix is the only time where we have gotten 3 “independent” mounts that are all phoenixes and also had 2 raid bosses based on the same thing

Zu, Bennu, Firebird, Demi-Phoinix, Sunforged Phoenix, Rising Phoenix, Praetor Fenix... Well, all but that last one.

There was also an option to choose in the Moonfire Faire that alluded to a phoenix such as the one from FFXVI. So much phoenix lately.

The Phoinix is already rather close to the XVI one... if you disregard the additional heads.

Because if they do mounts for the FFXVI event, they WILL go all out. It's not just a random game. Its Yoshi P's baby.

I wonder how many players are going to do the Rising event, see the phoenix mount, and obliviously assume it actually is meant to be some kind of FFXVI reference. A lot of people still have never done Coils of Bahamut. Heck I hadn't completed it until earlier this year when I ran it solo unsync.

Torgal makes more sense as a mount.

pfft. Hiryu is the best Phoenix

I would be happier if I didn't see the Phoenix model again for the rest of the game's lifespan. I am giving the Rising Phoenix a pass because... duh, and I even liked Phoinix from Pandaemonium, but... enough is enough. They've used the model as a mount like three times in this expansion alone.

I'm adding the Yol to the mix.

I really enjoyed the mount and the fact that you can 'turn' into it instead of riding...

However, I hate the color scheme of the mount. Couldn't we get a normal phoenix instead of the 'tempered-Dalamud-Coils' one?
