And in 1.20b we'll have...

[Elexia]

I'd like to remind everyone that they're whining about a piece of transportation being unrealistic in a fantasy world where there are catgirls who shoot lightning out of their hands in bikinis all while under a moon that's actually a space laser.
Oh and there's a magic forest that is sentient and filled with elemental spirits.
And magic flying contraptions.

As long as you include yourself in the "whining", agreed, because you seem to went on a tangent because someone mentioned SE adding a class for monster taming, which is equivalent of whining over a mode of transportation, then you went into using an analogy about dogs and wolves.

Shepard is already going to be added and if you really think it wouldn't have been a good idea to give a class the ability to tame and control monsters, then I guess you're the one that's against something "new" being added to Final Fantasy, not I.

(by the way, most MMOs give all classes pet control abilities, so if anything, it would just make XIV the standard MMO everyone wants so it can compete with others.)

Gonna put on my moderator hat here for a minute, and take off easy-going hat (I have a lot of hats, okay?).

For everyone on both sides of the subject ("I love this, can't wait to ride it and be all like "woo, yeah, woo!" and "I hate this, I would never ride such a thing! I can't believe they'd put a carpet on a goobbue!"), it's okay to have a difference of opinion. That's fine. But let's stop the personal attacks because of someone's opinion. It's great that we all have them and it's useful for us to know for feedback, but we don't need posts that are just attacking another player's subjective opinion.

This pretty much goes for all facets of the forum, too.

Thanks, everyone!

About time of someone from SE to try and put order on this! @_@ I think some banhammer pants also would match perfectly your new hat =P~~~~

Always the morbol saving the day! /o/

I would be more down with the gobbue mounts if they really did run the risk of going ape*@#$ on you and everyone around you each time you called one up. At least then I could see it being more entertaining than annoying when someone calls one to ride. Seeing one go bonkers in a packed level 20 camp would be hilarious.

"Biggs, are you coming?"
"One sec, this guy just called his Gobbue and its trying to eat him. Oh wait, now its rampaging through a buncha newbs!"

Priceless entertainment folks.

For the record I would want the drakes to do the same if they add them

On a total weird and odd note with the name of Biggs on forum and on Kashuan server are you "the" Biggs from Levvy FF11 server by chance (name of Behemoth King might make me think you are or I can hope) If so I know you /wave lol

I said it once, I'll say it again, Sigfried and roy.......... Can't tame wild beasts, its in their genes

So one instance of failing to tame a wild animal in the real world means that in a world of vast technology and magic it's not possible? Try again.

wow that is horrible.............. they could have at least picked something cooler like a dragon.

If you don't like a mount, you don't have to get it. There are plenty of chocobos out there, and probably other things too.

As far as dragons, would sure like that too, but I'm not aware of any existing at the moment.

Goobbues are awesome, dunno why anyone would complain about this. I guess someone has to complain about everything.

I'm hoping that in light of this thread for our next mount we get this.

just go on google you will find more than one. A fantasy world must have basic laws of nature in it, branch off from there. Ya know, like gravity? Genes? Everything must be explained. That is why, the only way I will except this is beastmaster only

Can we have a Drama Llama instead there way more fluffy and have long necks and spit

I never got the whole "It's a fantasy" argument -- yet Lord of the Rings is clearly fantasy yet it still had a realistic aspect to it -- There's fantasy of all kinds, it doesn't have to be a crayon factory game like WoW is to be a fantasy, even Ul'dah's opening shows that nothing is flawless.

Thus why a class dedicated to monster taming (aka training) would cement that idea even better than random adventurer a walking up to a monster and taming it out of the blue, since as someone said "in a world of vast technology and magic", you'd think there would be practitioners in monster training that can teach you (aka class/job unlocking) to do as such.
