SE - Can we get a cute Bunny Mount, please?

[Dree-Elle]

Ok... And the Griffin then?

Check the banners hanging outside Little Ala Mhigo. Just because they're not native to the three (four) city-states doesn't mean that they're nowhere to be found in Aldenard (and by extension, all of Hydalen). There is still much of the world left to be "discovered".

Just be careful what you wish for, though. You might yet get your mount-sized lagomorph, but in a way that you never envisioned - or wanted.

This talk about 'mounts that don't belong' reminds me of all the arguing about the unicorn mount that popped up in 2.1(?). XIV has thus far proven to be the not-quite-fanservice Final Fantasy with it's content so declaring 'not in my XIV' is pretty much too late now. If it's been in a Final Fantasy chances are high it's going to be included, or alluded to, at some point. All that said, I don't remember giant rabbits being in any of the games so far so the likelihood isn't very high for a rabbit mount. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem likely.

Quick googling told me that there were cute bunnies in XII called "Vorpal Bunny" (Picture below)
I wouldn't mind to have these as a mount, I love the way they look, very cute hehehe.

True, but as I said earlier, they weren't roaming around in Eorzea before the expansion. And once again, it was just an example.
I agree with Gilraen, SE won't have any problems making something up to make a cute bunny mount "fit" into the game if they want to.

[Gilraen]

Those aren't giant rabbits though.

True, but it wouldn't hurt anyone if they were made mounts now would it??

I can understand some people being against it, but then don't get the mount. At least let people who want this mount have what they want.

More mounts wouldn't hurt anyone.

Why would they have to be, in order to exist? You don't see elephants roaming around in America, but they still exist, just somewhere else in the world, in their native range and habitat. I don't imagine that Gryphons were even common in Ala Mhigo, outside of a subset of the military. I also doubt that most refugees in Ul'dah and Quarrymill would even have had access to one.

Would you have rather SE had waited until the game eventually expanded into Ala Mhigo to introduce them? Or would that still be considered "shoehorning"?

Yeah, I also want a pink bike as a mount! I'm sure SE can find SOME way to shoehorn it in, right?? And also, if you don't like it, just don't get it
It's not like it will ruin your immersion if I cruise by on my girly scooter!


/sarcasm off.
Yes it WOULD hurt me and many others if you got to ride around on something that has NOTHING to do with either FFXIV or FF lore in general.

SE has created many new monsters in this game, and we have mounts based on several of them. So along those lines, it's not a huge leap to think that maybe SE could create another mount based off of a creature not currently in the FF universe. If SE really wanted a bunny mount in this game, I'm sure they could somehow make it work within the realms of the FF world.

This is exactly what I mean, ty for your understanding mate

This game needs a (cute) Bunny mount <3

[Laerune]

Only if the mount is for female characters only...............

Sorry, just had to do it.
