I'll use it on occasion just because the thought of rampaging through a crowd of Lalafel's bemuses me. I sincerely hope that they add a maniacal laughter emote just for it.

As for not being thematic; were shoopuf's not themeatic in X? What about the truck in VII? Not thematic? It's asinine to claim that alternate mounts are non thematic in a game's setting when the game setting allows it. Furthermore, it's stupid to require all games in the FF franchise to remain strictly alike thematically. If SE had done so, we wouldn't have had half the games we've gotten.

I can get not preferring the alternate mounts, but the frothy rants are a bit sad.
