Goobbue Mount and Second Characters

I am hoping that they will tie the Goobbue mount to our accounts so we can use the mount if we decide to make a second character or in my case restart a whole new character.

I would like to start fresh personally but the Goobbue mount is probably the one thing that is turning me away from doing it. Will there be any chance that we could have the rare mount tied to our accounts?

A: the amount of time spent riding Goobbue mount

B: the amount of time leveling your new character and doing all other things

B is much > A, yet you are letting A drive your decision?

I'll be honest I didn't even get it the first time round despite having every chance, looks ridiculous. I should have got it if only to spare me the grating chocobo music (the goobbue theme was much more mellow and relaxing).

Maybe in the future SE will do account wide mounts like Blizzard did for WoW:MoP.

Its a rather nice feature to have, being able to use all your mounts no matter what character you are currently playing at the time.

I agree. I'd love to make a bunch of new characters but there'll be something distinctly lacking if they don't have their walking mountains... I like to smell the wildflowers as I wander the plains of La Noscea on my big guy. Now, if only they'd allow vertical camera adjustments so I could more easily see over his head...

You could walk with gooblue in first person...

I prefer to use the Goobbue over the chocobo I really hope they allow this.

First person..? Ewww... That reminds me way too much of old Wolfenstein or Doom-like games. Third person is how I like all of my games.

I agree too but still the goobbue takes a big piece of the screen...

A simple camera change when you mount your goobbue will change that, and it's what I am waiting for, once they add it to ARR I will be jumping around on my goobbue making earthquakes... the 7th umbral era will not be over when ARR comes I will make it continue with my goobbue earthquakes.

NO. you had to be level 30 and talk to the NPC. There were clear requirements.

Yes which I completed and I don't see why they can't add it considering they did it for the onion helm and what not. No reason why they shouldn't people earned it and should be able to use it considering now we can have multiple accounts on legacy.

If you are saying you want to have this benefit on other characters, I suppose as long as they are level 30 and talked to the NPC, its a good idea. I had multiple accounts and for each character I made on each account, if I wanted a Gobbue, I leveled them to 30 and talked to the NPC. It wasn't a huge amount of work but I'm not sure why any characters who didn't meet that requirement should get the benefit. In any case, it will never happen, Gobbue is gone for good they made many many warnings about it.

Goobbue Mount was a limited thing per character so im not sure if they would make it an account thing.

I have 2 characters on one account, and I had to level both to 30 to get the gobbue mount for them both. I was paying for two characters doing that time, so it wouldn't be fair to those that paid for their extra character. Versus someone who has legacy status and expect to have a mount for each free character. If you have a gobbue mount already then why be greedy one there will be those who won't have one.

Not being greedy at all it is a limited item which should be tied to an account. That's fine if the new character has to be 30 to use it and hey it's not my fault they screwed up 1.0 and are now relaunching an entire new game they have to expect that some people will want to play this from the beginning. I don't want to use my first character anymore but I would like the stuff I worked hard for from that character.

I'm glad you paid for two accounts to get the Goobbue's there was no way I was gonna pay for a second character when the game was in the state it was. There is nothing suggesting they can't do it.

Its interesting to think about there will be some servers that will never get the goobbue; in fact there may eventually come a time where most of the players there not know that it doesn't exist...

Worked hard for? Getting to level 30 was "working hard" hehehehhe

You get a chance to change your character's appearance completely (I think you can even change your race). Or is it not an aesthetic displeasure that causes you to want to start afresh? If it is merely to experience it as a fresh character beginning ARR versus a character who lived through the Calamity (and would get those specific CS's) then my recommendation might then be to create a new character for this experience (although your post made mention of that so maybe I'm being silly for even writing this).

At any rate, you can change your current character once ARR releases into something more to your liking and enjoy goobbue on there, if nothing else, and enjoy something else on your new primary character? Sorry for my uselessness.

The only way to solve this is to make all your additional characters Gobbues. Kill two dodos with one stone.

I didn't get a Goobbue, I joined the game like a week after it was removed I think. So I'm jelly.

Maybe someone needs to make a thread about Goobbue vs Non-Goobbue mount players, and how horrible the Goobbue mount players are to those who don't have it.

I never used the Goob even tho I loved the music. Was a nice relaxed tune compared to the blaring GC chocobo music.

Never used him because he's too big on my screen (someone actually managed to block my pt's view when we were running through Castrum Novum once, we all died cause we couldn't see where we were going while training xD). Switching to 1st person view makes me hella dizzy (motion sickness, same reason I can't play FPS, I need to be zoomed out completely when I play XIV)

I wouldn't mind a Goob-tied account though

You could have gotten it in a week. That was just a matter of how much you wanted to work on it. It's funny, new players always ask how long would it take me to level to 50. And the answer is it depends how much work you're willing to put into it. I personally got lvl 30 in 3-4 days but I was up for those days straight. If you joined after the goobbue wasn't available then I would feel sorry for you...
