How long do mounts take to add?

[Elexia]

All of these things you are mentioning are great but couldnt we get some barebones form of mount until this amazing system you guys are talking about comes into the game? I mean 9 months without basic transportation? Thats pretty laughable.

People seem to love ignoring that the game needs to basically be remade. FFXI got chocobo's for riding fairly quickly in it's life because they didn't need to go back and redo ...pretty much everything. it's a little silly to think if the conditions were right we would have to wait the same amount of time (9 months) to have them.
