Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

[Roaran]

There's only one way I could see this implemented that would make it all right with me.

First, that chocobos remain the fastest mount, and the primary mount for travel.

Second, that there be a wide variety of mounts, and the bigger/cooler ones be somewhat hard to obtain.

So that's all that makes a game FF? So what happens if we took say FF7 and added another creature mount to it? Would it then cease to be a Final Fantasy game? I don't think so, that's a really weak argument.

Also the series adds new things with each iteration, or at least a new take on an existing system. If we stuck solely with "tradition" the games would suck and the series would fail. Innovation and change are not evil concepts.

What kind of logic is this? Final Fantasy can never ever add anything to the franchise because it won't be Final Fantasy?

Put yourself in a time before FFVI was released. Would you have declared that game to be not Final Fantasy because they made Magitek mounts, something never before seen in Final Fantasy and wasn't even a chocobo? Ridiculous, right? Totally not Final Fantasy. Well, it made its home in Final Fantasy as one of the most popular additions in the franchise, and continues to be something that players fondly look back on.

This can only ever happen if SE pushes the boundaries to create NEW elements. We can't keep dwelling in the old, because Final Fantasy is constantly evolving with new ideas.

but complaining about dragoon not be "traditional" enough... because the drg never ever had a wyvern to his side except FFXI.

and yes i think Final Fantasy are almost classic. typical FF aspects you can find in any game. and i dont think that we need a gobbue to mount on, which is really awkward and cheesy besides that. in every MMorpg we have silly mounts. i dont know what people care all about that.

Right, because Final Fantasy has never had any sort of similar sillyness ever before. Oh wait, what's this?

Pretty much exactly the same situation, if not sillier, as the Goobbue mount that you're denouncing as "not Final Fantasy."

Um, sorry, but I've never said anything like that about Dragoon. Not sure why that's even being brought up.

Yes, every FF has similar elements which make the franchise what it is. However, every FF ALSO has NEW elements which make each game different and distict from the last one. If it wasn't for this we'd be playing the same game every generation.

We don't "need" mounts? Of course not. We don't "need" housing or access to Ishgard either but a lot of people want those. The more stuff to do in MMOs, the better.

People like options and fun things to play with. This is one of them. Not everything has to be serious and "realistic" in a game meant to have fun.

That's actually awesome and original, FFXIVs mount ideas are terrible in comparison.

Huh... So you would be more on board with having a giant magically animated stuffed moogle as a mount in FFXIV than a goobbue?

well thats just an artwork? its a comic type of character and not a serious one. or you love to see cloud riding on a huge moogle guy (for example)?

A Machine Mount and a dragon to ride on which we can saw in the pictures from the live letter would have been OK (not more than ok). but a gobbue? seariously that looks awkward to all character types. a gobbue doesnt seem like that you can ride on it just standing there on his head. i think its inappropriate

well then i want to ride on a morbolus, too. XXXD would be also kind of strange. not every monster fits the role of being a silly mount.


and i think a gobbue has always been a "special" monster type. with making a mount out of it.. it loses the impression of being special. really. every dumb will ride on a gobbue.


i imagine how it will look like.. standing a gobbue next to a chocobo, a dragon, a tiger, an evil eye ...it will look like they are riding on freaking Pokemons or like players opening a zoo.. i dont like that kind of idea. chocobos will lose heavily of importance as well.


but if you want kind of zoo/pokemon atmosphere (welcome to kitty online), because you want mounts like gobbue, evil eye and so on.. although it makes no sense at all .then here you go. . i mean there is maybe a "cool" feeling.. but this effect wears of after a couple of weeks. i think it destroys the atmosphere in the end.
but people seem to be happy with this. final fantasy is not a standard MMO in many kinds.. the gameplay, the setting, global mmo... so why you want to make an "every kind" of MMorpg out of it?

i mean housing etc are really different things. and a machine mount for example would be OK.. we have seen in many other FF's before like in FF12 when fran rides an aero bike.

i only got to say: Catch'm all
