Make Mounts Faster?

[Duuude007]

Chocobo porters move at a faster pace than personal mounts (from what I've noticed), and since they stick to marked roads, it fulfills your suggestion.

Well, apart from the whole "not free" part, the "inability to control mount to go down EVERY road" part, and "general inconvenience to need to seek out a porter" part.

Boost will never happen. Square wants to make sure that you can't just loloutrun every trash mob going through areas your low level newbie shouldn't be in yet.

The open world area maps are already too small. Buffing speed would make it seem even smaller.

Mounts already let us run across the biggest zones in 1-3 minutes. In no way should they be faster.

I miss fast monsters... I think it was the tigers but I can't remember for sure- anyway in FFXI there was a monster that'd blitz at you.. was hilarious and terrifying.

WoW has some monsters that leap at you and what not. SE could take a few tips from themselves and others on this XD.


Temp speed boosts could be fun feeling, going super fast is neat- but it would have to be balanced or end up making the open world even weaker (/agree). Perhaps when going normal speed you have a high resistance to heavy and short duration, if you turn on sprint mode (toggle or duration) you have a high chance to receive heavy for a longer time (use hp% as a variable in deciding heavy chance and duration would be better than the current situation as well, imo). Also.. add wind trails and a slight more zoom out of the camera.. because pseudo speed can still feel like speed lol.

They should make it so some mounts go faster the longer you move without stopping or running into anything. On the magitek armor, like, giant monster truck wheels could pop out at some point as you careen along, and if you jump onto a rock and again just right you'll catch some sick air to go flying. Then set it up so you can start firing the cannon at the ground to blast yourself up and continue to stay in the air. The cannon blasts should also cause heavy to anyone traveling at normal mounted speed that's in the blast area.

I want faster movement but it would only make this tiny world even smaller.

Hopefully the expansion pack has much bigger, complex maps to justify faster mounts.

Well..

Just paint your MOUNTS RED!

IT is the ONLY way.

Out of all of the mounts that I have, I feel that the Ariham mount is agonizingly slow compared to the movement speeds of my other mounts, or even running/sprinting.

Never fear OP I've just heard wind of a new invention in the works via Garlond Works. Apparently there was a leaked blue print for a robotic chocobo equip with warp speed. My sources from the daily moogle insider tell me all models come with a cactuar air freshener, GPS, and a succor holder(big gulp anyone??) interestingly enough if you and your party members (8 total) have a robokweh, and you push a "certain button" then you all combine and form ultrabo. Mayhap.. this is how we shall defeat Bahamut..?
