Disappointing Rank 8 Reward of Ananta Tribe

[Slevin_Impudicus]

They could have had chocobo barding that turned your chocobo into an Ananta. Would have been the first barding to be excited about.

A lot of people - myself included - wanted some 'simple' looking mounts. I'm glad that the Ananta provided that. Hopefully we'll get the plain version of the falcons found in Othard as well as a reward somewhere.

thing is if you're really into mount collecting people in the know know that the Ananta would give two mounts. plus the npc's shop items can be seen on sites like garlandtools so it's all there out in the open.

Doesn't really change the fact that the game has always mentioned when things get added to the shop yet it is strangely absent here.

If you have no reason to suspect something, you wouldn't go looking for it. Don't assume "people in the know" applies to everyone... I have what I think are most of the mounts that aren't from PVP or cash shop, but I had no reason whatsoever to suspect that this tribe would have two mounts, on the basis that every other tribe didn't.

Stuff like this has no reason to be sneaky "in the know" information.

Don't have to be in the know or be a mount collector.

I'd think any person would wanna check the shop whenever they rank up as it usually unlocks something.

I immediately thought the same thing back when SB launches and I hit that section of MSQ.

Not every mount has to glow like it’s made of radioactive material.

I'm down with more mounts instead of space-sucking Halloween costumes anyway, so yay.

Then they should at least give us a unique mount and not another recolor.

Sure, usually it unlocks something, but we know that because usually it tells us so when it does. There have been ranks where nothing gets added.

I'm happy about getting a recolor of a paid mount in game. This allows everyone to enjoy the mount in a way and I want to see the devs continue providing these kinds of options in the future. Getting the outfit would have been nice but at least we got the nails.

While I understand the desire for Ananta-glamour the "like the other tribes"-statment doesnt really hold true - out of the 10 tribes we have, only 3 (Vanu, Gnath, Kojin) recived glamour-options that are giving you the apperance of those tribes.
The Moogles got the slippers and in a sense both Ananta and Ixal are offering some glamour for the hands.

See, the issue here is yes, of the 10, only 3 have costumes. But when they gave costumes to Vath, Vanu, and Kojin practically in a row, people saw a pattern and expected a precedent was set. The moogles not having that was handwaved because there is already an entire moogle outfit glamour, and if the devs did any more than the slippers they would have faced the outcry of the people who got their glam from the fanfest.

I don't blame people for seeing a pattern having been set, especially since 3 is usually the magic number where we expect it from then on.

I am happy about that too but only if they are used as an extra price on top of another unique one. I dont want the recolors in the game if that means that they can just ignore introducing new and unique looking stuff. Put all those recolors behind the achievement points (and maybe so that you can own them all if you have a high amount of points) and that would give people the chance to own them. But I want unique items as a reward for ingame content. Otherwise it will feel more and more lazy.
