Devs finally managed to piss me off.

[Deceptistar]

people are now complaining about a miserable little existence of a mount of all things?? Whats next, the posture of the shop NPCs? >.>

[Zoltan]

The OP has a valid point. Just like the damn swimsuits. It makes no sense why SE is developing things like this when there is such a lack of real content.

They could have fixed some things on the giant list of requested patches or delivered on server mergers.

goes /anon.

I like the Goobbue mount ^_^

[Krausus]

lol the tags for this thread are so funny

tis an old saying you can deceive some of the people most of the time or most of the people some of the time but you can never deceive all of the people all of the time... same goes for pleasing as deceiving.

Soon as not see Gooboos myself but as it goes so goes it. all poor beasts must follow the herd. get one for the music.

For dev time though the mesh was already in & it may have been a straight swap from a choco; The cost could be less than might appear. (I am half code monkey)

P.S. a horse ^_^ for a miner a donkey for a knight = a beautiful world.

The swimsuits were an event thing, they HAD purpose since they were earned in some way, even if they were just aesthetics in the end.

Anywho, I agree with the OP too. The Goobue's are a waste of time and effort, and they look horrible when people are running around on them..First my party will be standing there for whatever reason, then the next second someone decides to hop on a goobue and then most of my screen is filled with a blubbery, ugly mess >.<

Bleck!!

I like Chocobo better also for the same reasons as you do. I personally don't feel like they were treating this mount like it was the best thing to ever come to ffxiv. I think they just added some lore in there so it wouldn't be like getting a random Goobbue. I understand how the news and dev posts make it seem that way though. I am just happy for the option and the derpyness (I know its not a real word) makes them something fun to have.

I think we all tend to forget that the game designers are artists, and artists are known to sometimes stop what they are doing and do something spontaneously creative. This is just my opinion but its just possible that once they had conceived of the Goobue mount they couldn't rest till they made it reality. I'm pretty sure the production deadlines didn't slip a month as a result, and it sad it's brought on so much vituperation.

Your anger feeds me.

[Alerith]

Don't piss off Blue Gartr, SE. Final Fantasy XIV is their livelihood. Think about their children.

This statement runs on the assumption they actually get laid.

[Bowen]

What is up with people bashing Blue garter?
