Regarding The Crescent Moon Mount

[DrWho2010]

yes we get a pink goobue mount this year as an in-game reward for LLD

Bananaway!?

(Runs off chuckling)

I love it! Much better than the name I came up with. Henceforth, my lopporritt friend will be called Bananaway.

Whats funny is that the inclusion of a loporrit is exactly the reason I will not purchase it. So, so tired of everything having to be cute in this game, which has been getting progressively worse. The loporrits being EW's most major offender, and they seem to be included in everything since their introduction. I am just tired of those rabbits.

I like the Loporitts, but seriously, GTFO my moon. They have their own.

What a missed opportunity! Out of curiosity, what music plays for the mount? I'm bad at identifying songs in game.

It uses the default 'Palace of the Dead' (floor 1) theme.

Dear Square Enix,

I absolutely love the Crescent Moon mount! It has replaced the Ceruleum Balloons as my go to ride as I traverse Eorzea and beyond.

However, I noticed something which I feel needs to be brought to your attention. In /gpose there is no difference between the standing still and the movement options.

It appears that this bit of game's code was either overlooked or isn't working. Thus, it is impossible to get a screenshot in /gpose featuring the lopporrit holding their arms out.

It's a small thing. But, one I feel should be brought to your attention, given this mount is from the Mogstation and people have paid to obtain it.

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely

Kacho

All these comments and a not a single one mentioning the fact that SE pumped out a cash shop mount for Hinamatsuri or Girls' Day instead of making it earnable during the entire in game event that is based around that same Hinamatsuri - Little ladies Day. I honestly don't know what to say about this playerbase.

That's a different topic. This is about whether or not the cash chop mount is working as intended.

As an aside, my belief is Square Enix doesn't owe us emotes/mounts/glam gear each holiday. We pay for the basic game. You know, the MSQ, sidequests, PvP, etc...

Everything beyond that is a gift. I guess what you can say about some of the player base is they suffer from a chronic case of entitlement.

Thanks! I knew it was familiar but I couldn't put my finger quite on it.

Yikes!

"chronic case of entitlement" is asking yet another desirable mount that is so clearly tied to an in game event isn't earnable in said event and is instead replaced by a lazy reskin of a 1.0 mob? With a line like that I sure hope you're getting paid by SE. Surely you aren't throating them for free.

yet another desirable mount that is so clearly tied to an in game event

Is it?

What about it is "so clearly" linked to Little Ladies' Day?

I'm not asking to be contrary, just genuinely perplexed. The symbols for that are spring and cherry blossoms and it's generally very pink. The moon mount isn't themed like that at all.

[dspguy]

Did they every allow players to start gifting mounts to others again? Or is that still blocked?

There is no entitlement in wanting more unique things that are actually earned by playing the game. I have no idea how some think that wanting to earn rewards in a game instead of buying them on top of our box cost and sub fees is in any way entitled.

And funny thing is, it's not just a 1.0 mob, it was a mount in 1.0 as well. One that they just gave to us for visiting the wandering minstrel who was just hanging out at Red Rooster Stead in La Noscea. The only req was you had to be lvl 30. And it's not the first time they reskinned the mount. There is the other goobbue mount from the Sylph beast tribe questline and the troll mount is just a furry goobbue.
