And in 1.20b we'll have...

Hey gang, wanted to drop in a few tidbits about the impending release of the Goobbue mount! In regards to how to obtain the mount, it's going involve speaking with an NPC with a character above level 30 which will then give you an item to call the Goobbue.

Now as to whether or not the Goobbue will have its own music... it seems like the sound team has created a brand new song for it! We have a comment below from Soken (from the sound team) about his inspiration for the song.

A huge gray bulk of a giant that grazes amidst a vast grass field.
It seems like a vicious beast, but is really super clumsy with a lot of strength.
This is pretty much a Goobbue, right? At least this is my personal take on it!
My image is of players zipping around a vast wilderness on the back of this the gigantic and loveable beast.
(The "zipping around" is completely different than the zipping around on the back of a chocobo, though.)

The most striking image is that of the back of a friendly Goobbue, standing motionless in a grass field that is painted with the sunset. I hope you're all excited to hear the finished song!

Great news Bay about music.

But no specific quest to obtain it? :/

[Rokien]

Sooo again... something just handed to us AGAIN!? lol awesome good job

I was at least hoping it was going to cost 200mil, so that only rich people(take some money out of the game) could get em
CRUSHED AGAIN SE

[Gromph]

Yeah, i miss a quest for the mount :/

[Zeref]

cost 200mil, so that only rich people

200 mil isn't really rich though, its like a couple weeks tops if you've got a mid-high level DoH/DoL

[Babydoll]

Yay new music hmm...is uematsu no longer composing the music for xiv?

Well I only have 700k at all times soooooo ya, it is super rich for me.

No quest, no lore...

Just a free Goobbue mount to players with at least one lvl 30 class (read: everybody)

This is what I was afraid of.

At this point, the best I can hope for is a Treat Staff II-style cooldown timer.

Yay new music hmm...is uematsu no longer composing the music for xiv?

Uematsu has moved on.. we have new composers now -- and they are quite good.
