SE~ Pet System! Mount System!

[Acreatona]

The only mount I care about is a Chocobo, but I have nothing against other mounts if that's what some people want. They would need to be specific to FFXIV or FF at the very least. It would be interesting to see some race-specific mounts, ie. only a Lala can ride a Wild Ewe, and only Roegadyn can steer an Aldgoat. Honestly, who wouldn't laugh and take some screenshots at a Black Eft being driven by a Miqo'te that has 3-4 Lala passengers on the back?

The same for vanity pets. I don't personally care for them, but if someone wants a Cactuar, Tonberry, or Moogle following them around town all day, then that's not going to detract from my enjoyment of the game.

I'm all for the inclusion of different types of mounts/vehicles.

There are plenty of examples within the Final Fantasy series of different types of transportation, from dragons and chocobos to submarines, airships and motorcycles.

Granted, I'd like available options to be consistent with the lore of Eorzea/Hydaelyn, but I don't think I'd be opposed to the idea of a party being able to ride together on a dragon to a specific destination for example.

I'm all for any type of addition as long as it makes sense to add within the game world.

No. Read my other posts and other people's posts please.

Anyway, there are tons of MMORPG in the market and a lot of them have more than one mounts. Why adding more mount = basically make it more like WOW? Really, they are many other games with many mount types, not only WOW.

People should start to open their eyes and realize this world has more than one MMORPG, don't make it sound like adding a mail box = WOW, adding more mounts = WOW, adding jumping = WOW, etc. These things like jumping, more mounts, mailbox, are not WOW's copyrights. Even if it is the same thing, but due to the game is difference, we can make it very difference by using our imagination.

So because other MMO's have more than one mount, FFXIV has to as well?
It's not using imagination if FFXIV decides to do what every other MMO is doing.
And the only reason I used WOW as the "make it more like" is because it's a MMO that majority of the MMO audience is familiar with.

I'm for varying breeds of chocobo that are different colors/speeds. You could even give them stamina and some breeds have higher stamina but have lower sprints, others the opposite.

And yeah, I'm all for pet jobs. But the current mob variety is sorta weak. Maybe bottled pets of new mob models?

Exactly. I'm all for that. Maybe having only one mount isn't "typical MMO" or whatever. Stick true to FF and have different colored chocbos instead.

PFFFFFFFFT mounts?!

Why have those when you can teleport~

Lol. Can't disagree there. It would take a lot longer to use a chocobo from Ul'Dah to Gridania than if you teleported.

Stick to the golden chickens, this is still a FF game, FF games use chocobo's, not dragons bears and other stupid ideas for riding.

Is it fair to assume that FFXI is your only experience with FF then? Or is this your first time looking at the thread?

[Anathiel]

Notice its about mounts, not vehicles. You ride chocobo's. One game had a dragon. But almost every final fantasy has been chocobo's, airships, and the occasional boat/submarine.
