Gnath mount(speculation)

[Cilia]

Aww, it's kinda cute!

... not that I'm going to get one, mind. I spent most of my modest fortune on my Anima weapon and do not have 200k gil to throw around like chump change anymore. I'll do the quests because the Vath were pretty endearing, though.

I'm very picky with beast tribe quests. I only do them if I really like the tribe. So far, only the Ixal pulled me in enough. Well, and the Vath in HW, although I find isnects generally disgusting xD
But their nature is really interesting and somewhat sad and fleeting. I'm totally gonna do their quests, but no interest in getting the mount after I've seen it.

I KNEW IT!!!

I knew it was some kind of alchemical creation!!!
That thing doesnt seem to be biological at all.

The Gnath remind me a lot of one of the beast races from XII. Since I love that game I'm eager to do their quests in FFXIV. I didn't really like the Vanu Vanu much - the whole 'power of dance' theme didn't appeal to me. I forced myself to push through them though.

The Vanu are birds.

Birds display to each other, rather than fight, with some exceptions.

I actually thought making their display a dance was extremely clever use of physical characteristics to emphasize cultural differences.

Oh, it was an interesting twist - I'm just not a fan of the WoL using the 'power of dance' to scare off enemies. For once I'd like to see the WoL not master every possible thing that they set about doing. It's really interfering with my enjoyment of the story, even in side quests.

While they weren't the most entertaining in the MSQ (infinitely less so than the Vath), the Vanu still had some amusing sidequests. While it's hard to understand the Sundrop Dance's cultural importance, they are birds and their culture is based on the Maori, so it's hardly surprising.

(And no, I do not do the Sundrop Dance when I'm bored at work and nobody's looking.)

I really liked the Amal'jaa and Sahagin beast tribe dailies. The Sylph and the Kobalds though I found kind of annoying. Novv is awesome and getting an insight into how Ifrit has corrupted Amal'jaa custom and culture is pretty interesting. The Amal'jaa (the traditional ones anyway) have a pretty admirable code of honor.

The Sahagin were my favorite as well. It really gave you a feeling of just how badly the Limsans had destroyed their culture, too.

I love Novv, and he's so sweet, calling you his child. He's the best dad.

I'm expecting the Gnath to be quite interesting, but I got a bittersweet sense from a lot of their side quests, eg, not knowing how to deal with their independence and returning to the one-mind.

I'm not a big fan of the whole honor thing, and the family business with the Sahagin didn't pique my interest either; and don't even get me started on the whole "power of dance" thing.

The lazy underachiever Kobolds were something I kind of wanted to know where they'd go with it, but not enough to spend actual daily time on.

What are the Sylphs quests about? I was too annoyed from their behaviour in the MSQ so I never even tried doing their quests.

I liked the Ixal because it was all about following your dreams and working towards a common goal no matter which race/family background/etc. you have
Seeing them finish their airship before HW hit was something I wanted to achieve ^^
