Colored Chocobo? Instead of monster mounts?

[Anonymoose]

I wasn't proposing anything. Only pointing out that having monster mounts doesn't have a FF feel. Don't really care what they are gona give to ppl who stay and pay.

The word 'instead' is what drew the most attention outta meh :P

I'm still not so big on the idea that if it hasn't been done in Final Fantasy before, doing so now would make it a 'copy' of everything not Final Fantasy. It limits creative growth. Dragoon never fought with a dragon it couldn't ride before, but look how much love XI's wyvern got even though it made the class so awkward it wasn't until many retroactive version updates past the job's introduction that it actually got any respect.

That said, Square Enix hands out goofy shit all the time to people who give them money. Hell, remember last week when I was saying, "When's the last time you saw a HARPSICHORD!?" as evidence that some things really are limited-time? Guess what they announced as the in-game bonus item for buying their new soundtrack as if to backhand me for that comment! It's back from 2004! lol

Like everything I assume the idea of change will polarize the community - but, as I tend to fall on the logical side of things, I don't think it'll break the lore if when times get tough, we get tougher, and the survivors of the calamity train some monsters to survive. Doesn't make it World of Final Fantacraft, imho.

Meanwhile, in a perfect world where the most logical aspect of everyone's
argument actually counted for something...
