And in 1.20b we'll have...

I completely agree with Zantetsuken. It will make the game look ridiculous.

What's worse is that we're doing it so a fraction of the playerbase can say "LOLIMMAONAGOOBUE" for 5 seconds and then ignore it afterwards. What a waste of resources.

I don't think it's that over the top. Maybe they can make the Gobbue a bit smaller. I'm not sure how this is 'tasteless' compared to 20 people riding a giant yellow bird? If anything it'll add a bit more live to the game. I wouldn't mind see-ing them, but for now I'll stick to a chocobo.

If i don't like it no one else should and no one should have them!

Wondering if this ties into the christmas and new years events... The snowman did turn into a goobbue after all.

[Pulseczar]

Let's hope they are temporary and for a quest line only.

I probably won't use them myself, but I don't mind them being in the game ^.^

There is a chance this is our sub-up reward Yoshi-P mentioned.

I'm torn, I think it looks awesome and a lot of fun to ride around but I do think it would be a bit strange for there to be a bunch of them all running together to Ifrit's cave for example.

I sort of hope they are slow or have a long cooldown and people will only pull them out for the lolz but not seriously use them for travel.

As for not fitting in the game, the Ul'dah opening story is about a tamed Gobbue that gets away from its controller so it is not out of line that they could be harnessed for travel.

Finally, I want to have a Lalafell dance party on its head.

How do you know that this is just not an NPC and that we get this as a mount....and SE really? Stop right now -.- Chocobos and maybe even Magi-teck (as a throwback to FFVI) and thats it! Really we dont need 50 cheesy stupid mounts like other MMOs have.....

You have, as a Final Fantasy title, a distinguished and well know form of travel.

I very very frankly can't stand people in your mindset. How bout YOU just only use chocobos and shun the other mounts if you don't like them. Some of us like choices and the richness choices bring to our games. I feel like you should be back playing the old final fantasy games and shutting your gob if you don't like progress. This is their game. End of story.

And ending that rant, that mount looks aweeesoooome

maybe they will have advantages like less collision detection or higher speed. maybe i can find my mining points easier.
