We're getting Ahrimans a drake and Magitek.

Hate to break it to you, but if you think things like non chocobo mounts and jumping breaks the game and ruins the Final Fantasy feel, you shouldn't call yourself a fan of the series because Final Fantasy XI is obviously the only member of the series you have played.

Also, for those citing WoW over and over, you obviously hate WoW more than you like Final Fantasy, and you should seriously consider seeking help.

I am fine with the Magitek mount. But I saw the Goobbue mount ingame, so I know it ruins the Final Fantasy feel. No, FFXI was the only game of the series I played less than 50 hours =) I played every game of the series, even the Adventure and Legends. I am against jump but I can live with it since all of you wanted to have it. But if they make a mob-mount fest, it will not be the same game for me anymore.

Edit: I play this game because it is a Final Fantasy game. I never played WoW before, but the nerds of my vocational school played it all the time, so I know it good enough.

Just a heads up to you complainers out there we are in fact getting Ahrimans and drakes at some point along with Magitek armor.

So you know time to start your stress relieving right now because of it.

Here you go a post dedicated just for you.

Edit: Oh yeah as CrystalWeapon pointed out I forgot to mention Jump as well.

as long as i get a marmot mount im fine with everything else

Oh, you played the other games? Motorcycles, trains, boats, avatars, shoopuffs, and space ships were all OK but goobbues just pushed it too far? Lol, that really cracks me up. I think you fall into the category of hating WoW more than you like Final Fantasy.

Hm, no they were just one way mounts.. I was never able to call a motorcycle or shoopuff on the open field. So its not the same. We also see these mob mounts everywhere in the game. Even a car or an airship is something very different. As I said: I am fine with the Magitek.

No. No you don't. A level 14 in this game could say the same.

[Majidah]

is magitek going to be limited edition too?

[nibelunc]

No. No you don't. A level 14 in this game could say the same.

Maybe not so well but I saw how it looks and I saw the Chuck Norris TV spot xD
I will stop whining know. I am happy you guys got some content you like, thats not the problem. I dont have to use the mob mounts for sure, I just have to see them and it looks dumb. Thats all I wanted to say.

A variety of transportation in usually linear, single player games. This is an MMO with a massive world to traverse, so in tradition they are carrying on with the variety of transportation methods. You want magitech like other players want to ride a goobbue, people should have the option to ride what they want. Also, since this game is pretty barebones at the moment, they can easily fit it into the lore.

You are free to pass on obtaining these mounts obviously.

With doing that and other WoW copy things, they will lose most of people who play this game because it is a Final Fantasy title and will get few people from WoW, and they will leave when next MMORPG appears. Would be a big mistake to do that, SE. No more mob mounts -.-
Magitek would be okay.
It was just a little thing, but Goobbue made this game a lot more ugly for me.

Oh and no, I never played a FF with different mob mounts. Ships, airships, trains, dragons or one way transportation mounts where something very different than seeing the half of mobs of the game with players on them. Looks so very dumb.

Hate to break it to you but WoW did not create the concept of mounts in games. Also simply adding something that has become a staple of a genre does not make it like WoW. God forbid they want to try something new with this FF, I mean it's not like FF has a history of changing things up in practically every iteration, oh wait....

It's not like they're adding a billion different mounts and Chocobos are clearly still the focus with the ability to name them and eventually raise them, outfit them, walk with them and fight atop them.

I agree with some things. But it would be something different if the Goobbue is a linear transportation possibility between two camps than beeing a useless Chocobo alternative. FFVII for example had a big world too, but chocobos and airship were the only possibility of transportation at the end. Buggy and motorcycle was just for a little way. They should just make it something special.

As long as they are not adding a billion different mounts, you are totally right. It was a mistake to name WoW at that point. Its really not the case, I just didnt like the addition of the Goobbues, it looks like Moogle prequest trees.. but it will not look like that all the time for sure.
