Mounts in Cities Like Every Other MMO :MegaThread:

[Mr_Happy]

Bad enough people basically stand on top of the summoning bell and make it hard to actually interact with, I can't imagine trying to do that with the whale mount or other large mount sitting on top of the bell. No thanks.

This is why we are promoting speed buffs or collision detection now please read the post edit.

Picture someone with the Lunar Whale in Gridania or Limsa. Most of the cities aren't spacious enough to justify mounts, especially the extra-large mounts.

I suppose the Crystarium has plenty of room, but now that we've moved on from it, I don't see the devs going back to it.

This post is not a place for toxic behavior and I will not be contributing to it. You can clearly see that it was not me who suggested these two options.

Well it is better that they are not and for good reasons... droppings.

Also think it is more of a dream to get cities free of vehicles and also not much room in these cities for mounts.

FFXIV just kept it realistic one way or another.

This post has been very enlightening, thank you very much for all the insight provided by the players who have contributed to this post!

It is very clear that many players do not want mounts in cities so I have decided to shut this post down and move onto a different direction with a new post.

Once upon a time, FFXIV wasn't like "every other MMO." Wish it had stayed that way. Go back to WoW and stop pushing for this stuff in XIV. kthx.

Nothing like some good ol' tribalism! Even Yoshi P has said that XIV wouldn't exist without WoW, and that WoW was a game they constantly looked up to.

There is plenty of inspiration that can be taken from XIV's competition. Not everything would work or even be feasible in this game, but there's no reason to have such a knee-jerk reaction to a simple post suggesting a feature found in other games.

"Go back to WoW" is such a lazy reply.
