Mogstation taking another step to the darkside

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

It's not a matter of liking it or not. The issue here is that mount should have been part of the hatching tide event.
They have been selling mounts for years and I even bought some however I don't want seasonal event to be like this:
random minion/glam/emote in game and an seasonal based mount on mogstation.

What makes this Mount Seasonal, and why 'should' it be part of the event?
Because its a Sprag? Does that automatically mean its an Easter Themed mount? So if there was a Sprag Themed Weapon that means its an Easter Weapon?
Ive looked at it Multipe times, I fail to see why peope think its a Seasonal Mount. Just because there is a Sprag idoesnt mean its easter

All Easter events feature eggs and spriggans. The literally gave Spriggan set as last year's reward. I fail to NOT see a connection.

Should have? Why, because it's related to the monster that Squeenix has linked to the event?
It's very possible the entire concept was inspired by the event, but if it's the cash shop team that conceptualized and produced it, it's cash shop stuff.

Yes because the fact it is a spriggan with a basket sold with last year hatching tide item and one week before hatching tide as nothing to do with the theme.

What next? A spooky mount for halloween but hey just because it's a ghost doesn't mean it related to halloween.
Lol.

The point being that spriggan was a mob before the event was even a thing. So just because it is a spriggan doesn't mean it's always going to be an easter theme mount. And even if it was, if the cash shop team made it for the cash shop then that means it was most likely never going to be an ingame mount. So if the store wasn't here, chances are it wasn't going to be made at all. Plus it's called marketing....

So if I sell you a ham during Lent, is it a Lent ham?

Just because its a spriggan doesn't make it easter. Either way you are entitled to your opinion.

It's a mount with a possible seasonal theme. It doesn't make it a seasonal event mount. I think SE is moving away from seasonal event mount in favor of account-wide store mounts.

Maybe I'm wrong. When was the last time they had a seasonal event mount? The Valentione couples mount? When was that and is there anything newer than that? Is there any seasonal event mount that does not end up at the Mog Station as a single character mount?

[MelodyCrystel]

When was the last time they had a seasonal event mount?

Halloween, last year. It was a cute orange Ahriman with a purple eye, fitting hat and special "attack".

Thanks. So about once a year, maybe.

2019 All Saints' Wake - Circus Ahriman
2018 Valentione's Day - Broken Heart (Left and Right)
2017 Starlight Celebration - Starlight Bear
2017 Hatching-tide - Eggshilaration System
2015 All Saints' Wake - Witch's Broom

2016 also had Yokai (two mounts), 2017 had three GARO ponies and 2019 had Regalia in their respective events. I don't count Rathalos because it's a permanent event.

I don't count Yokai or Garo or Rathalos as they're collaboration.

There are also the white and red magitek mounts. Are those not part of an event?

Regardless, so seasonal event mounts are actually in the minority. Most mounts are exclusive store mounts and they're account-wide. Maybe we will get a seasonal event mount later this year, but it's not this latest one as it's an exclusive store mount.
