More mount types in ARR please

[Ingolf]

As long as they are made of Shiva and have card games attached.

[Mamba]

SE won't even have to insinuate... people will start demanding it days after it's implemented anyway. Not asking. Not suggesting. Demanding. How do I know? Because I read these forums.

.....

Lol Preypacer why do I always see you on all threads posting about how you are better than 99% of the people on these forums?
I didn't want to quote all of your text so ppl wouldn't make the mistake of reading it again. Can you please post a another post which would be a bit more full of yourself because I don't think you QUITE made it yet :P

As far as I can tell in the gameplay vid's Yoshi was riding a chocobo in Gridania, so, probably already a solid feature.

I don't think he was ever actually in Gridania. They were riding around in areas outside Gridania, in the Black Shroud.

They'd already indicated that mounts in cities would be a no-go with the current version, and they never changed that opinion throughout all of Yoshi's time as Director/Producer. They haven't clarified one way or the other what would be the case for 2.0, but I'm inclined to think the same reasons that existed before still exist now.

My personal position on it is the same as before... leave mounts outside of Cities. The most compelling reason I've seen for it has been in line with people "just wanting to be able to". It doesn't add to immersion. It doesn't add to gameplay. It's an eyesore and an obstruction for people trying to find their way around or get to NPCs, etc.

Yeah I am in no way sure, that's just how it looked to me.

Hard to say also how I feel about it. I don't feel like it hinders anyone or detracts from immersion. I would say, however I wouldn't mind a automatic dismount for standing still for x minutes feature. If I want to use my bird to traverse a town it should be my right to do so, but if I just idle for hours at a AH window (if they ever get a clue) I think that's a bit obnoxious.

It won't bother me either way though.

When I think of a fantasy game like Skyrim the first thing that comes to mind as a mount are horses.

Can we please have some horse mounts in ARR? Not everyone has to be using a chocobo give us some variety.

Horses??

This your first FF game, is it?

[Lum]

Yea i think horses are the plain jane of mounts. They are really not appealing and very boring not that i think they would ever happen in this game. We do need more cool mounts though.

[Akira_Tenshi]

Horses wouldn't fit the world and would make Chocobos seem irrelevant. I personally only wanted Chocobos, but to late now. I just hope mounts don't become as gimmicky as they are in other games. It is worth remembering that only Chocobos can be customised with gear and fight with you in battle so they are still more awesome than anything else.

Horses? no way, this is Final Fantasy. Leave the horses to Odin lol. We will be getting more variety though. it's already started with the goobues
