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

[Elexia]

Even Yoshida said it was a gift for 1.x players and just something for DoH/L as they can't do GC content (meant for battle classes.)...so I highly doubt they had lore in mind when they started this game.

Why do people want less things in this game?

Quality over quantity.

[CoDeWa]

He doesn't want less mounts, he wants more game quality. Throwing random mounts out there is kind of sloppy and a big decision for the game makers. But sloppy does sell sadly, look at world of warcraft. Square needs to stay alive if I'm to continue playing good video games, so if lowering the games integrity helps them gain the funds they need to keep going, throw as many flying rainbow colored moogle mounts in the game as the "loud ones" see fit.

I really can't believe people are still complaining about this. There are so many legitimate things you could complain about, and you complain about this?!

Adding A FEW new mounts every YEAR or so does not mean they're pumping a huge quantity of crazy mounts and pushing them in our faces. It's a special, rare, awesome bonus and the Goobue is a very iconic monster in the FFXI/FFXIV worlds so it makes a lot of sense. THERE WAS EVEN GOOBUE TAMING IN THE OPENING CUTSCENE FOR UL'DAH, IT'S IN THE LORE, DIPSH*TS!

The Goobue mount was not "sloppy," it fits the lore and the game's aesthetic (goes perfectly well with U'dahs Arabia influences) and its very useful for people who don't want to join a GC right away. If you think it messes with the game's "immersion" then you have some psychological problems you need to work out. Don't ruin the game for the rest of us by asking them to stop the PROGRESS they're making on this game.

Conclusion: THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT NEW MOUNT, YOSHI-P AND THE DEV TEAM, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

LOL? Does this mean we're going to be riding, or can expect to ride, any old lore NPC in the game? Awesome is an opinion that I don't share. Apparently I'm not alone.

Wow good job totally missing my point :P

If you don't like Goobue, that's great! Don't ride it. But it seems like people are complaining to the devs and asking them to make it so chocobos are the ONLY mounts in game. If that's what you want go play FFXI.

[Xelsiar]

The only thing I wish the Goobue's allowed, is when we point or wave, it'd actually show that animation. I mean come on! We are sitting there all relaxed, we should be able to wave or point easily! Let's get some Animation on this Bi***

[Xoo]

It's more of the same. It's a chocobo masked in the shape of a Goobbue. It does nothing special that a chocobo cannot do. Not to mention it has to be one of the most poor NPC's to fashion a mount out of. You can't see what's in front of you while you're riding it; You can't see what's in front of you when others are riding it ahead of you.

Ok, that's a slightly more legitimate complaint than what I was responding to. I was responding to the people that feel they don't fit the lore/break the "immersion" of the game.

I personally have never had a problem seeing when on my Goobue or traveling with other people on theirs, but if that is an issue for you then it's fine to suggest some solutions like smaller Goobue size or allowing the camera to zoom out more while on a Goobue.

However, please don't tell the devs they're doing a crappy job by adding a few new mounts and don't say they should get rid of the new mounts.

For some time now, I've been of the opinion that SE should be 100% necessity and 0% about inessential.
