Mount up for the situation!

[Jynx]

jynx your input is almost always never interesting

Glad to know people are not allowed to have opinions. Just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I shun it, I just don't think it would be implemented in the exact way people imagine it would.

Chances are it would end up becoming more of a chore than it sounds, a one time novelty where you say "Aww damn it was so cool I needed a goobue to cross this swamp.

Next week we will see people complaining that needing to be mounted while crossing marshes is obtuse and leaves the player unable to do ____. It's always good to note that alot of stuff sounds great on paper but doesn't translate well in implementation in the long run.

Then again...god damn them people with opinions that are different from me! I should round them all up and do something like put them in a special "Camp" maybe I'll call it...Aushwitz.

Man...Nazi puns are really out of mein kampfort zone.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad to see how you feel about that. Especially since you posted the exact same thing twice in another thread. Real insight to your feelings.

On topic, it would be cool... but at the same time not so good. I don't want to be rquired to have a certain mount by a party or the general gameplay just to do something. I also think just having a diversity in the types of mounts we get is enough, let a long using one for a specific reason than riding it all the time to begin with.

I think it would be cool and very Final Fantasy-like if these mounts we are getting actually served a purpose for certain parts of the map. Take the Gobbue for instance. A tall mount would be great for walking in water or swampy areas. A Drake would be able to get through certain tempratures i.e. fire areas. The floating eye would assist us in getting across those small gaps we can't access.

These are obviously just examples but I think these are great ideas for the mounts coming are way. Give us a reason to use them, to obtain them. Have a purpose for them other than getting us from point A to B that we have already discovered both on foot and on Chocobo a million times. Bring significance to each new mount with a means of assisting us to get to areas we couldnt get to with a previous mount.

What does everyone think of this?

Mount with special and unique features for exploration? Holy! Why didn't anyone think of that sooner? o_O
DEVS! STOP THE CODING! We have to restart everything and include this, it's a must have!!!

I'm serious.

Thank you very much for bringing this idea Bittereye!

Well the third option could be to get this mounts the ones who are still here before 2.0, at least one that cany be obtained after.

Who said you'd necessarily be required to by a party? Exploration is handled solo most of the time. Also, it can serve to access shortcuts and special places with lore on Eorzea or side-stories.

You are already required by parties to be X class, have Y gear and put your points in Z stats to be at the top for endgame content and Primal fights.
If you don't feel bound by that, why would you for exploration?

It's not a stupid idea, it's a great idea and that's for sure. People handle the features stupidly, there is a difference.

But to only use said mount for a specific region? I want to ride the mount I like the best for all over the place, not where it's required.

And I highly doubt this would work since they've already but a lot of time and effort into the new maps they are making.. but to add specific mounts to go beyond certain points or to make it easier? I thought that was the point of a mount to begin with.

Also, you have to remember that if they would make (like how a lot of people want) for gobbues to resist more damage taken than chocobos, you would be "OP" in the future when others don't have that mount. They added this mount to reward players for staying as a cosmetic feature, not for you to be better or have better mounts than others.
