Regarding The Crescent Moon Mount

Dear Square Enix,

I absolutely love the Crescent Moon mount! It has replaced the Ceruleum Balloons as my go to ride as I traverse Eorzea and beyond.

However, I noticed something which I feel needs to be brought to your attention. In /gpose there is no difference between the standing still and the movement options.

It appears that this bit of the game's code was either overlooked or isn't working. Thus, it is impossible to get a screenshot in /gpose featuring the lopporrit holding their arms out.

It's a small thing. But, one I feel should be brought to your attention, given this mount is from the Mogstation and people have paid to obtain it.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely

Kacho

You actually can get a the Loppirits arm up in gpose, set the movement to "running animation" and it will be the same as if you are flying.
You might need to be airborne before going into gpose too

Admittedly disappointed that 'Dedicated to Moonlight' isn't the music that plays for this mount.

Whats funny is that the inclusion of a loporrit is exactly the reason I will not purchase it. So, so tired of everything having to be cute in this game, which has been getting progressively worse. The loporrits being EW's most major offender, and they seem to be included in everything since their introduction. I am just tired of those rabbits.

I’m not sure the exact name, but a lot of the store mounts have the same music. Which is okay I guess, for things that don’t have a duty associated with them. But the Shadowkeeper not having its Eden raid music is a crime! lol I think I would’ve preferred the Mare Lamentorum music, or even better, the Bestways Burrows music for this. But it’s a freaking crescent moon mount and I love it anyways! :D

Can confirm the running animation works in gpose… not sure how far off the ground you need to be but I took mine to the mountain summit on my Island because it has the best wide open starry skies on a clear night. :)

Same for me. I hate those small nasty ... things. And i hope, they will never be a playable race. I would refuse to heal a small rabbit tank.


Cheers

All these comments and a not a single one mentioning the fact that SE pumped out a cash shop mount for Hinamatsuri or Girls' Day instead of making it earnable during the entire in game event that is based around that same Hinamatsuri - Little ladies Day. I honestly don't know what to say about this playerbase.

I think that event is getting its own mount this year.

yes we get a pink goobue mount this year as an in-game reward for LLD

I love it! Much better than the name I came up with. Henceforth, my lopporritt friend will be called Bananaway.

I like the Loporitts, but seriously, GTFO my moon. They have their own.

It uses the default 'Palace of the Dead' (floor 1) theme.

reminds me of the rathalos incident, where there were literal frames missing from his jump animation

That's a different topic. This is about whether or not the cash chop mount is working as intended.

As an aside, my belief is Square Enix doesn't owe us emotes/mounts/glam gear each holiday. We pay for the basic game. You know, the MSQ, sidequests, PvP, etc...

Everything beyond that is a gift. I guess what you can say about some of the player base is they suffer from a chronic case of entitlement.

Thanks! I knew it was familiar but I couldn't put my finger quite on it.

Yikes!

"chronic case of entitlement" is asking yet another desirable mount that is so clearly tied to an in game event isn't earnable in said event and is instead replaced by a lazy reskin of a 1.0 mob? With a line like that I sure hope you're getting paid by SE. Surely you aren't throating them for free.

Is it?

What about it is "so clearly" linked to Little Ladies' Day?

I'm not asking to be contrary, just genuinely perplexed. The symbols for that are spring and cherry blossoms and it's generally very pink. The moon mount isn't themed like that at all.

Did they every allow players to start gifting mounts to others again? Or is that still blocked?

There is no entitlement in wanting more unique things that are actually earned by playing the game. I have no idea how some think that wanting to earn rewards in a game instead of buying them on top of our box cost and sub fees is in any way entitled.

And funny thing is, it's not just a 1.0 mob, it was a mount in 1.0 as well. One that they just gave to us for visiting the wandering minstrel who was just hanging out at Red Rooster Stead in La Noscea. The only req was you had to be lvl 30. And it's not the first time they reskinned the mount. There is the other goobbue mount from the Sylph beast tribe questline and the troll mount is just a furry goobbue.

The Crescent Moon mount isn't tied to Little Lady's Day in any way. The chronic case of entitlement lies in thinking that, because Square Enix offered a mount in the cash shop, you are owed a mount for free in exchange in the game. Clear enough?

FFXIV Complete Edition $59.99 Collector's Edition $139.99, monthly subscription $12.99 + $2.00 per month per retainer up to seven, Companion App $5.00 per month, upcoming expansion (no cost yet but most likely $39.99-$59.99)

So on top of box cost and expansion costs a single player can be paying up to 31.99 a month. But....free you say?

No, still blocked out.

I'm just putting two of your posts together to aid in the discussion. :)

Free, as in no additional charge. It should be self evident that FFXIV already provides a sizable amount of mounts and other rewards for the cost of the game and subscription.

It's one thing to be dissatisfied with the quality of a mount or reward. We paid for it and we deserve to have a good product for our money. We can and should let the devs know when something leaves us underwhelmed.

But, please explain why the customer base is owed a new in-game reward whenever Square Enix puts a mount up for sale in the Mogstation because that's entitlement.

It's connected because the mount was released on and in celebration of the IRL festival of LLD. ( Hinamatsuri). You know this was deliberate because it was released on a Sunday. SE chose to "celebrate" by putting out a cash shop mount instead of putting the event mount in the event

They're 100% connected. It's not entitlement to ask why the Hinamatsuri mount isn't available to be earned during the Hinamatsuri event in game. Like I said, I really hope you're being paid for this and you don't genuinely believe the nonsense you've been typing.
