Goobbue Mount

[Kirito]

SE should consider making the Goobbue an obtainable mount again. ARR new players will appreciate this limited mount that is currently for 1.0 players. I feel like I'm missing out
I didn't get to play 1.0. T^T

Honestly I think it depends if the music is for goobbue is only for the goobbue. If it currently is and they plan to keep it that way, then they will probably bring it back one day. If there are other mounts with the music then I don't think they will give it to them. It is kind of like saying, will the legacy chocobo ever be given to new ARR players.

You appear to be confusing fact with opinion. You don't feel it will do any harm. Others disagree. Personally, I feel it would harm the trust between the developers and the community if they state something will be a one-time only offer then offer it again. There are those that may have subbed that month specifically to get the item. I actually know a couple that did.

My opinion still stands, that those who are opposing this are being rather childish about the whole situation. Again, as someone who has 1.0 Legacy, and the Goobue - there should be nothing to fear in releasing a cosmetic mount which took no real special effort to obtain.

Those who fear the full on 180 of SE giving every single 'legacy' perk to all new 2.0 are being irrational, as they cannot separate a (what I and many others consider to be a perfectly reasonable) request for a cosmetic mount and (what would be considered a far less reasonable) request for backdated legacy perks. Asking for one does not require giving the other.

Still, there are those who were in 1.0 and who still missed the goobue, why also deny them, and on what grounds?

I think the Coeurl mount has the same music.

Put it in a limited time frame again if it makes you feel better...

What would be the point of re-releasing it in a limited time frame? 6 months afterward, new players will ask and wonder how they can get the mount and begin making threads all over again. If it's going to be re-released, just make it permanent.

I understand the feelings on both sides of the argument and can honestly say, I don't care if they re-release it. I got my Goobbue, I have my legacy choco, I have my tattoo. None of these things make me feel special. If SE wants to give everyone a chance at getting these cosmetic items, that's their call.

For those complaining they had 1.0 and never got a chance to get the Goobbue mount, are you kidding me? The Goobbue was available for MONTHS. If you quit the game when it went p2p and now all of a sudden are angered SE won't allow you to have something that was implemented shortly after you quit, I have no sympathy for you. At all.

For those complaining this item should be "Regacy-Onry", you are wrong. I hear your argument that SE made a promise to us by saying certain things would be exclusive...but how is the Goobbue tied to Legacy? I could have come into the game the month this cosmetic choco was about to be locked away, subbed, gotten it, and quit the game w/o becoming a legacy member. This item was not promised to us. What was promised to us was a discount, a choco, and a mark separating us from the new players and 1.0 players who jumped ship.

Long through and up until the end of the Sixth Astral Era, the three great city-states would often tame wild Goobbue for various uses, including transportation and heavy labor. A majestic creature, the Goobbue is very sensitive to shifts in the planet's aether stream. While often used as a source of transport by those enjoying the Sixth Astral Age, the descent of Dalamud and the onset of the Calamity has caused an aetertic instability and the Goobbues no longer respond to taming Magicks as they once did. While this is regrettable, as no new Goobbues can be tamed for further uses, those that were turned before the aetheric imbalance was put into place remain yet unaffected.

lol I like this; is it in lore somewhere or are you just creative?

I should have been more clear, by this I mean make it something like a 'Spring event' or similar. i.e. only available each spring event. Thus, a limited offer, but one which repeats annually (similar to the Pitchforks etc. in FFXI).

Captive, selective breeding FTW.

So going by the logic of why SE should release the Goobbue mount for everyone again, I want a shot at the Courel mount. And the Chocobo Behemoth barding.

[Drakzen1]

It's fine man. They get to show off their uniqueness on their own server where everyone is just like them.

Well im not sure lol new severs in a few days.

[Itachi]

Absolutely not.

i'm fine with this if non-legacy servers stay non-legacy characters only forever, deal?

[Xieveral]

I want a goobbue.

I don't care if its a crappy goobbue that runs slow, is brown and crusty, with a blanket that is little more than a flea-ridden burlap rag... just make it happen ;-;
