More rewards for 'completionists'.

[Garnix]

Get Triple triad mount, all PVP mounts, Field Notes mount and all Bozjan mounts chests then we talk.
Oh, I forgot Mentor mount and all mounts from Khloe.

I personally don't like the achievements that are like "complete X 100 times". That's not completion to me, it's "just" a grind.
I enjoyed getting the field notes though, because it is like the TT cards, something you only need to get once, and that's actually another example of completionism being rewarded.

I get the feeling that we're getting things like the "all cards" mount is because they really want to sell the hype that this is "the end" of the game.

I got all the field notes and my bike , and very close to both the triple triad mount, and at least one of the balls in pvp and the GC horse. Still want more stuff like that to work towards (and doesn't have to be a mount, can be anything else).
Also to your other post, I assume the Khloe mounts you mean are Construct 6S and the one horse? Those aren't very difficult to get when you know how to make gil tbh or actually do Unreal every week with a group. Was kinda disappointed with the rewards for the last Unreal becuase there was no new mount (but a very cute and funny anteater minion so I'll accept that at least)

What about Marbol ? And all savages mounts ?

Rewards for being a 'completionist', really? For a game where the Producer encourages people to take breaks from the game (so they come back and play more later)?

You get rewards for all sorts of things, you just don't recognize it unless it occupies a minion or mount slot, apparently. Don't you all ever go to bed?

What's wrong with committed, veteran players getting a reward for pursuing long term goals?

The quote in question, urging players to take breaks, is also from an interview made years ago - and isn't really applicable given that many players have to log in at least once every 45 days in order to keep their house. Which in turn means that no break can last more than a month at a time and a lot of people prefer to get their money's worth out of something if they're subscribing to it...thus, the desire to play.

Why would completionism and breaks be incompatible? It probably takes as much time farming 99 EX trials than getting all the new big fish in a given patch.
Based on your logic, if he really doesn't want people to play the game for too long, then maybe he should make the mount drop rates 100% too...

All I am saying is that there should be more cosmetic rewards and incentives for things that are not exclusively combat-based, and that are not a terribly long grind which just asks you to repeat the same task 1000 times.

Because it is the only thing that most people care for in this game?

I'd say glams and hair styles are way more sought after like lets say you put Tifas hair or Hilda hair style in like a Mahjong achievments you'd see mahjong jump in popularity more than a domino mount

Very true indeed. But I mean it needs to be cosmetic and not just a title IMHO.
