And in 1.20b we'll have...

[Biggs]

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

<<<<,Mrbiggelsworth. Leviathan. Yessir (or ma'am?). And who might you be? I love running into old XI folks.

As I said, if you can't see how it diminishes the artistic integrity of the game (esp in light of the 2.0 direction), I can't convince you otherwise.

Taste, either you have it or you don't.

I question how many Final Fantasy games you've played then. There were other mounts than the Chocobo throughout the series, and there have been some rather goofy moments throughout the series; a goofy mount isn't that farfetched. And seriously, have you looked a chocobo? Tell me riding that really makes sense... really...

Final Fantasy is known for blending many designs together, if you haven't realized that, then the only reason I can think of, is you haven't played many Final Fantasy games.

I don't see a need for other mounts than the chocobo, and yes, I wish they'd focus development on higher priority issues, but if their adding another mount then I'm happy. I won't ride it (okay, once to see), but that's it.

Throughout Final Fantasy history there have been so many different mounts. http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/trans.shtml

Dunno why FFXIV has to be limited to just the Chocobo. o.O

LOL @ This thread. "Don't add so many mounts like other games" "Yay thanks for adding more mounts!"....... SE is so screwed if they listen to what everyone says here. Guess they just randomly choose who to listen to and who not to for ideas. *Btw I am a mount supporter*

I bet you're that person in real-life that has a car with chrome coming out of every orifice, clip-on spinners, and stick-on vents.

I personally wrinkle my nose every time someone pulls up beside me in a Japanese hot rod. But that's their choice.

This world would be very boring if everyone had no other options to drive but, say, a Ford Focus.

No Mustangs, no Camaros, no F-150s, no Blazers, no Beetles, no PT Cruisers, no Mini Coopers. You get a Focus, and that's it.

Now, if you like your Focus, great. Drive it to your heart's content. But some like variety.

I say bring on the mounts! I <3 Gobbues!

Not that I care...but your list doesn't really help your cause, there is next to nothing on that list that is a "Mount" style transportation. Chocobos have "For the most part" been the classic means of overworld transportation in Final Fantasy titles the rest generally being a sort of airship of some sorts.

Much like your list being 99% ariships.

I don't care about it being "Final Fantasy" I just think riding around these mobs is just downright strange I have no idea why anyone would even find it asthetically appealing to ride a Goobue, Drake, Arihman(WTF), or any other MONSTER in the game. Taming them as pets for battle is one things, mounting it's skull is another IMHO.

Obviously not everyone shares my opinion though so chances are I'll just abstain from the practice outside gaining the inevitable achievments that will come with the system and I'll just pray I don't see Goobues bounding through the air as I end my day. A large part of why I like this game is because it's grounded in a firm sense of "Realism" while it's a fantasy world most things still make sense in the terms of the universe and don't look what I deem "Silly"

Yes before you ask, I do find a Goobue moving any faster than the speed of a mild run silly, I find mounting the monsters that litteraly crush your face in silly, I find riding a evil beast that is inteligent rediculous (Ahriman)

If it gets too out of control I'll be replacing all mount .dats with good old chocobos and just pretending I lived in a world where people had a sense of style instead of wanting to ride Goobues with racing stripes.

And chocobos are monsters too, and are even found as attackable enemies in other Final Fantasy games.

Anything I have to say in this thread is pretty much already covered in my signature. But, in case anything happens to it, I fully support monster mounts, and I am looking forward to seeing more in the future!

Personally, I greatly dislike the idea of mounts as a whole. Never liked em in any MMO. That being said, if we are going to have them, I want all kinds, and to me, the bigger, meaner, uglier, and faster, the better.

'Rice grinder' is a general nickname (one of many) American gearheads use when describing Japanese hot rods. I'm sure that other nationalities have other nicknames they apply to American muscle cars. It doesn't make anyone racist. It's just that, a nickname.

Do you not associate rice with Japanese food? Pizza or pasta with Italian food? Tacos or burritos with Mexican food? Burgers and fries with American food? To do so.. is that racist?

And the reason I wrinkle my nose is that I was born and raised in Detroit, the motor city (so, trust me when I say, I am well aware of how the internal combustion engine works, I don't need you to explain it to me). Most of my family works or did work in the automotive industry. So, buying American not only supports my country, but my family and my hometown.

Every single one of your posts on these forums is full of rudeness, finger pointing and name calling. But somehow, I'm the bad person, here?

This witch hunt of yours really needs to stop.

No funny... I don't associate everything Japanese and Japanese made with rice. I wouldn't even condense all of Japanese food to rice. I ate rice almost everyday growing up, so I guess I never learned to associate with it Japanese or Asian people and their ethnic "quirks".


I'm just weird like that I guess, I also don't wrinkle my nose when encountering something or someone simply because they were not made in America.


The last time I checked cars have very little or nothing to do with food. Also yes many Mexican people would find it offensive if you referred to them or really anything Mexican other than Tacos or Burritos as "Taco this" or "Burrito that", and Italians definitely don't like having their entire culture boiled downed to pizza. Many of them would find that incredibly offensive.

The more you explain yourself, yes the more you do sound like an absolutely terrible person.
