Goobue mount

[Quiz]

I called this back at the end of 1.0 lol I didn't say "with a crown" or anything I just said "watch, they'll re-release a gobbue that looks the same just without a carpet". As far as I'm concerned, the legacy mount hasn't been devalued and SE went by their word. That exact mount won't be available again.

And @Coris (I think it was you?) if your mount is special to you, will this suddenly make all your 1.0 time and experiences vanish from your memory? You will still know that it's YOUR 1.0 reward. And this next thing is not meant offensively, but does it only matter that you can flaunt it in front of other players? You still have your mount they don't and you should still know that and feel proud of it.

No it's called playing 1.0 and hoping we'd have something to truly distinguish ourselves from 2.0 players. We played when the game was in the gutter and the "big" servers maybe had a couple thousand max players, we kept the game alive with our subs and was promised that we would be rewarded in 2.0 with these things. Legacy Tattoo, Legacy Chocobo, and Goobbue Mount. We can argue all day that it's not the same Goobbue mount but it's still a Goobbue mount.

I'd like to address this by bolding a bit. You know in the 26 months that 1.0 was active, only 9 months were paid right? The final 9 months. AFTER the game was already announced to be shut down and remade. Your subs and mine from 1.0 didn't keep anything going. Nothing changed. And even then I believe it was 6? maybe 5? of those months were the Legacy campaign. Jan-jun iirc

I understand what all of you are saying about being legacy and special and all, but think of it this way...







You got your bloody name carved into the game code, what more do you want?!

[Jinrya-Geki]

Actually I didn't.

I see what you mean but, I'm afraid that lore gets thrown out the window (or at least bent to the extremes) in front of money and money is what the new Goobbue mount is supposed to generate, so to speak. Their "clever" solution here was to give this Goobbue flowers on the head instead of a carpet, in order to keep the 1.0 players distinct (in a considerably smaller way) from the ones with the new Goobbue, who will now feel a bit more satisfied for being able to ride this monster, albeit a lil different, like the 1.0 players can.

It makes me sad and disappointed, because they said otherwise. Other people might think that this is trivial (I can understand that) and others might say it was naive to believe it. At the moment I can even agree with it.

I'd never stop being proud of having my Goobbue, but being proud of it doesn't include showing it off (can only speak for myself here, plus I have to admit that I only did it ONCE to re-create a wall and then never again!)


Urgh x.x So tired right now and I'll go to bed after this one. Dunno if this is utterly crap what I wrote there. I just want(ed) to say that I am pretty much sad about this.

Not every legacy player did. There was a very short window of time to submit your name and I actually happened to forget about it only to find the e-mail long after it was possible. I was upset to say the least.

Oh I don't think it's sad and trivial at all. I understand it. I'm not sure if I was trying to lessen the blow SE dealt to you or just help remind you of how it still is what it is. It just seemed like something to ponder at the time. As I said in my previous post, it wasn't meant to insult or offend (as you didn't seem to be so you understood).

Would you want to send your name now if you were asked again?

Now, to other people that didn't get the mount, would they want it now if they were asked to have one?

Yes, I would.

It's not the only thing I missed out on either. I didn't think they'd be giving out anything for playing during the "end of the world" phase of the game so I went on to do other things while waiting for ARR to come out. I missed out on the goodies and achievements people got from that part of the game as well. It bothers me quite a bit unfortunately because I'm a completionist at heart but I'll never truly be able to 100% the game at this point no matter what I do or how hard I work at it.

I'm just gonna ride both at the same time and call it my Twobbue.

Also maybe they'll eventually add a 3rd goobbue mount:

Ah well, I guess we have to deal with it
I don't see how we can change it anyways, but I think that at least telling them how some of us feel about it was needed.

By the way, the first time they got me with the mount was when I rode it the first time in 2.0: Different way of walking (not sure about the music right now)


P.S.: Your signature terrifies me and I don't know how I should be able to sleep now @.@
