[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

From what I gather from this thread FF = Chocobos and nothing else. The only thing that makes a Final Fantasy game Final Fantasy is Chocobos. Not the setting, the story, the music, the general art style, the combat, the classes or any of that. Just Chocobos. Not only that but it can only be exclusively Chocobos, anything else just steals their thunder and that's what people are afraid of.

Seriously though, give me a true compelling argument for having ONLY Chocobos. "It's FF" isn't enough, there has to be a better argument. This series evolves and this game could make use of it. By the "stick to tradition" logic we shouldn't have ever added any new classes past what we had in FF1 because it's just not FF. It really just tarnishes what made FF in the first place. Also we should be playing with menu turn-based battle systems in instanced fight zones that randomly trigger as you walk along.

Classes has nothing to do whit mounts. (the old classes were a lot better anyway)
Chocobos and moogles are not the only thing that makes FF, but their are a ring in a chain, you can't broke even one ring.
"it's FF"
This should be more than enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSnTydh2kc

Ah but this wouldn't be breaking any of the rings, it would be adding to it which is certainly possible and in some cases desirable.
