A mounts matter

[Kallivis]

Yeah thats defintely something I didnt expect to see in FF players - a lot of dress up people here.. Vanity slots boggle my mind - very simplified gaming. People make fun of WoW* and then WoW is often more hardcore then what they were asking for lol. *Was more so then it is now lol

The purpose of them (and the point of most roleplaying games in general) is to customize your character as you see fit, so not everybody is a carbon copy of one another. It's not fun to see every single person with the exact same gear and mounts.

I always thought Goobs should be slower but stronger than chocos. Maybe even impossible to be knocked off of, or much less likely.

Neither is it fun to see people wearing garbage and being effective, or having a turtle and running the speed of a chocobo.

You can scale content and make it biased - as WoW did with its mounts. Even though there are "stats" there is still a huge variety of mounts used at max level. Customization != everything has to be the same.

Pretty sure they said all mounts would basically be the same and just have aesthetic differences. Making them with varied stats would then cause them to throw them into content and we'll end up having to do content to get "the best mounts" and it's just going to be messy.

Yeah they did say they will all be the same. Nothing unique about any of them except for "looks".

I assume there is still going to be content for mounts - though no one is really going to care about them except for which color matches their outfit or most "epic" looking.

Yeah because what a character looks like definitely makes them more effective.

Chainmail thongs and the like.

Waste of development, imo*.

How boring and bland can someone be...Yoshi-P's engine is limitless so nothing is waste of development or resource all they require is time and fan requests, period.
Now for the OP ..i agree mounts should have some type of difference other than looks ..As i said in another thread Legacy Chocobo should be the fastest mount
Aside from that we will have (confirmed)
Company Chocobo
Gobbue
Drake
Magitek
Cueurl
Arhima

I'm not for that either (armor being good when its visually not armor at all). But I said wearing garbage, not looking garbage. So that includes using level 1 items as level 50 items and it being good because of dress up games.

How fascinating. Please tell me more about the dimension from whence you came, where people can pull things out of their asses without taking any labour or money to complete it.

I thought the idea was Chocobo are our main mounts and can fight and have a tree system for healer,tank,dps and other mounts are just for show does noting but look pretty.
