What is the point of mount drops...

[Malmstrom]

Ahh, another "this game doesnt give me exactly what i want in the open world, so therefore, theres nothing to do at all in the open world and its all pointless" Malmstrom threads.

Ah yes, the assumption that I limit myself on what I want to do and therefore there is nothing for me.

Except I don't. I have done all sorts of things, and am continuously disappointed there is not more.

But here, I can play that game too...

Ahh, another response from a person that hasn't done anything out in the world at all and is content with instanced content.

Also, most mounts are ugly af or just look dumb. Like, flying bed and variety of chairs, sometimes it feels like you're too big for a mount. Still waiting for flying toilet that does fart sounds while in air, that would be great idea on par with bed.
And there no armory to check them all, no mount drops from dungeons, literally 7 recollors of the same mount. As someone told, WoW did it better, you should check it out, it even have mount showoffs.
And yeah, people should understand that 14 love silly stuff and don't care about any immersion

Odd because I've always found it much easier to immerse myself in this world than WoW. Maybe it's the silly stuff isn't so immersion breaking and in many cases, is appropriate, given the game's ability to mix down-to-earth serious plot with something more relaxed and sillier plots and even more ludicrous ones like the Manderville questline. So I'd argue that some of the sillier stuff is plenty fitting. Even if, they're pretty loose, but immersion is often more about how things are delivered if anything.

Nier on the other hand, I'd understand any argument to say that it doesn't fit, but we're not all the way through to see how they're trying to make that one work. But luckily is a side thing.

On the chairs and beds...Matoya already enchants her brooms, which Matoya did in the very first Final Fantasy game. Enchanting a chair or a bed in a world with a heavy use of magic would not really be that much of a stretch if somebody though it'd be fun to enchant. It's dumb, sure, but people like being dumb sometimes, both in a fantasy world and the real world. I'd expect it's something a Sheogorath type character from TES would do.

People using it as their mount out in the world and seeing lots of these dumb mounts? I find a lot of the time people roaming the world is rarely a part of the immersive experience in an MMORPG. Because somebody could be just teabagging another person in the street with the guards just watching all like, "this is perfectly acceptable behaviour" and people then running around proclaming to be Ugandan Knuckles. Then a hundred people in super edgy demonic armour atop big dragons casually hanging out in Stormwind like its any other day. This I think is just something you block out if you're looking for an immersive experience in an MMO.

But what's not fitting is Gaia's lips. She doesn't look like she belongs. That'll I'll happily concede to.

Omg YES I LOVED not getting mounts for years and years on end We should totally expect people to run savage and trials for 5-6 years to get the mount! Wonder why they didn't think of doing that with FFXIV!

/s

(also fyi, there is a dungeon mount)

WoW has absolutely no recolored or silly mounts
None whatsoever. Nope. Definitely not.
Lmao

I mean I love collecting mounts in WoW way more than here, but come on dude :P Blizz has been reusing assets and adding silly joke crap since before FFXIV existed

If you like WoW so much, I hear its still in service and guess what, you can go play it! I don't think I've ever seen you post a positive thing about XIV, so why are you here?

Silly child, I hear "go play wow" for years from people like you on this forums, nothing new. Unlike you, I can critisize and play both games, nothing is perfect. And yes, I come here to critisize, I dont see any reason in disscussion about positive stuff, there is no point in circlejerking. We would still playing 1.0 if people didnt talked about the problems.

Do you REALLY want to count how many unique mount models and armor on it they have and what we have per expansion? I understand WOW BAD FFXIV GOOD meme, but come on people, use common logic.

(also fyi, there is a dungeon mount)

Same here, do you really want to compare? Using numbers of course, not is "personal opinion" if its good or not.

Why compare number of mount in a thread that questions their point in the first place?

Well, we can calculate how many WoW have them as loot in open world by quests or achievements. Another reason to use mounts you already have in zones, if you can farm new ones in process.
Let's see what we get, if you're not a crafter. Time-gated hunt trains, 10 minutes quest chain for "tribes" and uselsess fate grind if you're not leveling alt class, not much. That was the point of this person question, there is nothing to grind, obtain something of value, like more mounts or rare item/armor.
