So about Proto Carbuncle...

[KageTokage]

We have multiple gorilla mounts, but no diresaur/manticore models.

The mount would be nice if not just for an excuse to have access to Silent Scream or Scream on demand from its mount theme.

Yeah, the thing Yoshi-P needs to really stop clingning to is the notion that having the ability to change our mount's music break immersion. When almost every mount has the same generic "flying mount" tune from Heavenward, including mounts that should have their own unique songs. Does "immersion breaking" matter anymore? Especially when you have to turn the mount music off just so you don't have to hear the same mount music almost all your mounts share over and over again. xD

He’d make a nice guard dog.

Have him in front of your FC/personal house. It'd drool its acidic saliva everytime a juicy little lalafell passes by. This is what happens when you train Proto Carbuncle to eat only Popotos so it won't go attacking random strangers unless they tresspass. They'll eat anything even remotely shaped like that. xD

Most certainly. Should be a good weapon against all stalkers and lurkers lol.

Would make for a nice Ifrit alternative skin. Also, that would be hilarious running around with a tiny slobbering Proto Carbuncle that replaces are old one. I would love to pet it and feed it from da hand. x3

Doesn't need to be slobbering, as we could make it adorable yet still look a little angry. An artist from twitter showed just how adorably grumpy he could become.

Player: "Are you being a good boy?"

Carbuncle: "Yes! <3"

Player: "Are you being a good boy?"

Proto Carbuncle: "Grrragh....Yes."

Lol, that a cute drawing. I hope we can do that with our Carbuncles for real one day. :3

Since when was "immersion breaking" ever the excuse for not setting specific mount music? My understanding is that it has always been about how many songs they can store in the mount music system, which may have a hard cap over the life of the game so they tend to be frugal about how many they add.

The Idea of Egi glam is long dead, they have multiple versions of them in game you can fight, i remember a smn fight against sephirot egis but even that was too much effort to add them as a glamour. I was really hoping that Carbuncle was Savage mount but we got a reskin of the O4s snake and the Firebird ... which is easier and it kinda makes sense as you see it in P8s, but feels very underwhelming.

So yea ... in best case you see it in Mogstation because SE loves their carbuncle merch.
