Fair. Still, it was something I noticed, and immediately disliked. I think it would be less of an issue for me personally if the Mount varieties weren't so absurd, but as-is, it's obnoxious.

I like my mounts more than you like your "immersion", tbh. Yes, I've quantified it and checked.
I did, and we'll agree to disagree. As stated above, I have less of an issue with Mounts as a concept, and more of an issue with the utterly ridiculous options SE has chosen to include in XIV. In the open world, it's less noticeable, because the areas are so vast you typically don't see other players using them all the time. In towns, though, it's blatantly obvious.

More broadly, it would be nice if SE included user-specific toggles that permitted the best of both worlds: let people disable other people's Glamours, and let them view all mounts as standard Chocobos.
