Goobue mount

[Duuude007]

They said A GOOBUE MOUNT WILL NEVER BE OBTAINABLE AGAIN...EVER.

Evidence?

No wait, let me get it for you.

[dev1296] The goobbue mount has been added.
* Please note that the goobbue mount can only be obtained before the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV Version 2.0.

The goobbue. "THE" Goobue. This particular goobbue model. If it said "A" goobbue mount, you might have more footing to your argument, which presently falls flat.

I can go one step further, and contrast models summoned by the items:

Goobbue Horn vs Laurel Goobbue Horn:


Note its not the same mount, in the same idea that the Legacy Chocobo is not the same mount as the Grand Company Chocobo. Different item, different mount.

Hello, I already posted an interview where Yoshida said he will give people the goobue again, it will just be 'different'. So while it might be slightly misleading, they never 'lied' or did you only read one of my posts? o.O smh I can't stand this forum, it is becoming worse then facebook...somehow.

As for the Goobbue mount, that was a present for those fans that stuck with us through the hard times and its for them, we don’t want the meaning of that to get watered down by bringing it back for everyone. We want it to be that thank you from us, for sticking with us through those hard times.
However, we understand that we have a lot of players would like to see their characters ride on a Goobbue and so maybe bringing in some type of Goobbue for those fans that weren’t with us in legacy, is something we might consider.

The interview doubles down on what I said.

"The" Goobbue mount will remain exclusive.
"A, some type of" AKA not 'The' goobbue. A different goobbue mount could also be in play. Which evidence holds true.

Semantics, they would like a word (or two) with you.

Actually 'the' is the definite article. It's literal meaning is 'the only one'. It is the gobbue mount. The only one. If you wished to imply there are others you would use an indefinite article such as 'this Goobbue'.

If they wished not to mislead it should have been

"A Goobbue mount has been added.

Please note that this Goobbue mount...."

They had either originally intended for these to be exclusive or have made a genuine grammar mistake in the original statement, but either way the statement is that Goobbue mounts were exclusive. Now Goobbue mounts are not exclusive.

Now I'm not particularly precious about my Legacy benefits, but misleading statements are not conducive to trust and a happy community. It would be like releasing the Dalamud minion for an ingame event. Those that paid out the nose for the Sound track just for this minion would feel equally aggrieved.
