I know a lot of people who enjoy having mounts and minions although I do not personally care (i used chocobo from day 1). But i believe it is a matter of preferences. I personally am a huge fan of collecting gear sets, and have tried to collect most of the unique-looking gear sets in the game such as acolyte, foestriker, cavalry, infantry, battlemage, colosseum, templar etc. in a way, they have no more values after their level ranges but I just *like* having them pretty much like how some people love having minions and mounts.

I get that, but they just feel very cheesy, no real place for them, especially when they have no AI.

mounts and pets/minons/companions....... you mean like in every other mmo?

Every f2p mmo? Yep. Besides WoW and FFXI/V. I can't think of any other games that are not P2P that have mounts and companions. FFXI at least put a story behind your companion. Every game now is F2P, because they feel cheap and not worth a monthly sub.
