After Goobbue mount - do we need other mounts than a choco?

[Elexia]

More is better, but quality is also better than quantity. Having 30 Mounts that does the same thing but different music is a waste of time and resources when they could just create a jukebox item that you can use while riding a chocobo for example and get the same effect lol.

Usually when more is better you're more looking for more dungeons, more raids and more social type content, not necessarily the 60th Mount that's a 7% drop rate off a new dungeon boss. If the mounts were varied in what they do, sure, if they could be equipped on armor like some games while not riding for stat bonuses, sure, but that's not going to be the case here sadly. I mean, people aren't as gungho as they were about goobbues now, so the novelty really wears off quickly with some things when the development on the 70 mounts could have been dedicated towards something else, since it's not much work but it's still time and resources gone you'll never get back.

more, within the realm of video game reasoning, is always better in an MMO

If there is quality to back it up, then yes. Doing it for pure numbers, however, not so much.

Depends, clearly you need to devote someone/people from the UI team as well as sound team as well as artists and programmer(s), therefore clearly some manhours has to be dedicated to it that could have went elsewhere when you really think about it.

Nope. There's a reason a priority queue and management exists in the development world. When the art team is light on work because the QA team and the different Dev teams are busy with setbacks or other work, they do the lower priority, easy items; and vice versa.

Not everything is done on time 100% of the time, and not everyone can work on a top priority issue 100% of the time.

My only problem with the Goobbue is the size, If it was about half it's size or so i would be happy to ride it. Also i wouldn't mind having other mounts such as Magitek or even a Coeurl. As long as they add a option where you can change the two mounts that show on the bar to your fave i really don't see any problem as long as they keep the rare and truly legendary beasts just that. I don't wanna be riding Shiva, I can understand lesser beasts and Magitek armor but things that are meant to be legendary or rarely seen should stay just that.

You know what else "isn't very FF"? MMOs. Oh wait...

It's kind of silly to say they shouldn't add an interesting feature to this MMO just because it's not following some imaginary "tradition" from the Final Fantasy franchise. If you don't like the goobue mount, then don't ride it! But please don't ask them to stop adding a special new mount once a year or however rarely they do it. A lot of us do like them.

p.s. They ride cars in several Final Fantasy games, so would a car "mount" be "more FF" than a Goobue mount?

Bro I don't know about you but I always use my Goobbue mount

Watch dat cellulite jiggle

I too wish they would half the gobbue size xD I cant see the path in front of my most the time

In this particular instance Wolfie I was actually only refering to man-hours. I could care less who they tasked to do it when. I would rather the 3 guys they got to work on mounts be put to use working on the linkshell managment travesty, or the hundreds of other issues that are on the very same Queue list your talking about, but move the game forward. I dont remember seeing mounts and holiday events anywhere on the list of issues the players wanted fixed when this game tanked.

The other option is to have these other teams twiddle their thumbs and not do anything, you clod. You know absolutely nothing about the organizational and managerial challenges of a development team (and probably of ANY workplace). You're applying your own stupid definition and ideas of who can work on what and when. People have spent their entire careers studying, perfecting, and writing books about this s**t, and what you're talking about is ridiculous.

You would have to ride em so I don't have to see em. Either way, one group will bother the rest.
Cars were part of the world, if cars were part of this world, that would be fine.
The Majiteck armor we are going to get, is fine(not a mob)
Chocobos are like horses(you never see us riding bulls)
As you said, and I said, It's not very final fantasy like. Please don't push your "every other mmo has it though ; ;" on to this MMO. This is an easy way to be different from the rest.

Every FF promotes "Party play"
