Let us ride our mounts with weapons drawn out

[Kazrah]

I used your example to bounce off of since you were the only one who really provided examples of things that would look silly. I'm not disagreeing with you, it just feels like Brightamethyst's and Kazrah's responses were "It'd look silly/stupid, so no."

Which, to be fair to them, is me reading into what possibly isn't there.

For me at least, it's thinking about what resources would be required for it compared to other aesthetic possibilities that may be higher priority that those resources would be taken away to make that happen, how much time would be required and what all would have to be done for each race, job and stance/position on the mount along with how much time we normally spend on our mounts.

It's not just looking silly or stupid, but doing so knowing that the resources used to make it could be better spent on something more universally appealing.

Maybe that will be the new hook for the next expansion... Flying in Heavensward, Swimming in Stormblood, and Combat on Mounts in whatever the next one is.
XD

Would be interesting to see, but I think aquatic/groundless combat would be the next step.

I can see where you're coming from with that. On my end, however, I see the resources already being used on odd, niche things like Perform. Just because the resources *could* be spent on something better or more universally appealing doesn't mean they will be.

That I do agree on, and even I'll admit that sometimes ideas from the players may not necessarily be a good ones either (like any job suggestion from FFXI).

in this case its actually PC limits, many players still play on 32bit pcs, until they change from that to only 64bit, its going to happen a lot with limitation excuses, (i play on a laptop 64bit, no real excuse besides money in this case)

I can already picture a full Odin cosplay looking wonderful with this.

I actually had that once after Odin, an player next to me gliched and sat on his chocobo with his anima drawn and glowing in the usual idle position... kinda rly wished we coudl have that.

The same "technical limitations" that prevent the ladies from sitting side saddled. It's in the game, they just wont allow it for everyone.

Or we can just make the PS4 limitations meme?

Hyur women sit sidesaddle.

It's literally in the game.

I remember when we used to get /changepose for things

I want to fly around on my rose lanner by standing tall on its back with my arms folded, staring down dismissively at all of the puny landwalkers below.
