Perhaps I missed the memo whenever this became the norm in MMOs, but... what's the point of having different mounts? Seems like a big fat waste of development time. If a Goobue is a fast as a chocobo, that's just weird, and if it's not as fast as a chocobo, hardly anyone is going to use it.

If they're going to make different mounts, I'd like to see there be some benefit for using different ones. Maybe a goobue can take more of a pounding before it gets 'lamed'.

Maybe I'm just behind the times; I've never seen the point in achievements either.
