layin' down the smack!

Dragon Mounts!
Tortoise Mounts!
Mini-Airship!
Magitek Glider!
[Mount that is able to use Invisible or Coeurl Step but with slower movements sounds proper]

Is Magitek Armor included in mount? :P

I enjoyed this post. Nice to read something from a passionate Final fantasy fan.

I agree with most of the post, except for using chocobos during combat.

I like everything here except the idea of Chocobo combat. Pimping your ride with gear is one thing, but implementing chocobo combat is a long way off. No FF game has it, and I doubt ever will unless its the gimmick of the game. I'm all for breeding of different colored and able chocobos, especially being able to add equipment to differentiate my chocobo from the next guy's.

Took me awhile to dig this one out of the dev tracker but yoshida had something to say on Mounted battle

This way we can focus our resources to create the most interesting and optimized content.

The road is very long, so we would greatly appreciate your patience and support. m(._.)m

You probably got even more time than him, seeing as you had the trouble to create a forum account just to post that~

...Sadly didn't play is Final Fantasy XIII. And Erica didn't get into it yet as well.
Fansites say there's a guy who carries a Chocobo in his afro.
Did I get that right? Jesus... From dinosaur to Boko the lovemachine to crapping into afro's... Long way, man... Long way.

FFXIII had chocobos on Cocoon and Pulse as well as the baby one in Sazh Katzroy's afro. On Pulse they had crazy dreadlocks coming out of their cheeks: http://www.ps3attitude.com/wp-conten...9498069296.jpg.

well...maybe thats what the game should get & give WoW a run for their money.
If WoW can have various mounts why cant FFXIV, im sure they'd be unique in their own way.
Unlike Rift's 2headed turtle....

Besides WoW & rift arnt the only mmo out there, ppl are just using it as a lame excuse.

Bring on the slug, coblyn & hog mounts!

If all else fails, just lets us get some Canoe's so we can paddle around in the ponds, now if anything unique it's that. (no Roegadyn's in the back of the Canoe's plz)

Anywayz, i'd let SE implement a few various Mounts for us to try out, then give them feedback of if we like or not, maybe it wont "Feel" like WoW after all. (wich i doubt)

Guess a test server would come in handy for that... but ppl prolly complain about that too for being too WoW-like. >.<

Agreed 100%. I think people are too quick to jump on anything other than Chocobos because they're afraid. They don't want the obnoxiously ridiculous shit we see in WoW, to which I agree. However I don't think the developers would take it to those extremes honestly. If we get other creatures as mounts they'll be only the versions we have in-game, no ridiculously stupid modifications. At most we'll get to add some armor to them. I think that's honestly fine and fits well within the realm of tasteful in FFXIV.

I would like the Chocobo's to have the ability to cure themselves like they did in FF Tactics

yea cause creating an account takes 3 minutes and his hilariously delusional essay on chocobos probably took days to write. you fail at math and logic and i pity you for your failed attempt to even defend this. but that's just what i expect from this lame community to be honest, lots of white-knighting and carebears. partly for these reasons, this community can also share the burden for the poor state of this game.
