[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Laughlyn]

Other things that make sense that someone could domesticate.

Things I DON'T want to see as mounts are agro mobs like wolves or drakes or raptors.

I dissagree, these "aggro" mobs could be something for high level beastmaster to tame & use as a mount. (possibly even sell as mount)
Dosent have to be "Easy" to get.

I've played FFXIV since the last alpha, bought CE on launch and only took a small break and even I think things other than chocobos are good. How is this "WoW with Chocobos"? Just because a game has more than one type of mount doesn't automatically make it WoW. You know WoW didn't create mounts nor does it have an patent on them. Hardly anything about WoW is original, it just brought the ideas together and made them popular and staples of the MMO genre.

The mechs dont fit in the game. Else they have to work on many, many things (example motorcycle).

Me too, i've got an onion helmet :P
Yes, but FF doesnt need that. It has Chocobos. I just don't get the coin why people should ride a horse, a sheep, a bear or a mouse when they can have a fast, running bird which can have different colors, sizes and skills.
Ok, if the mechs really fit in the game and are something special, why not. But I think we talk about animals.
I can't think of how every body has a different animal to ride on.

It's Final Fantasy o.o

I would like for the to come up with an original mascot like chocobos.

Choice, diversity and variety. I like Chocobos but I think it would be cool to ride other things too. What's the problem with allowing people to do that? It's not like it's a choice between Chocobos or anything else. It's Chocobos AND anything else.

The problem is that chocobos are a big piece of FF and its strange when other monsters/animals take or share the same image in a FF. We still don't know how the "mount system" works at the end but I definitly don't like the idea of that. That's all I can say. I was waiting for Chocobos from the first day of FFXIV release on and now they want to implement a "mount system". Why won't they start with the "all want"-basics and come with some strange add on stuff ideas later. I only want to ride chocobos. All would be happy with only that.
Still sry for my bad english - I hope you understand.

Less evaluation, more action.

I have said it before and i'll say it again. In my opinion there are 3 main things that need to be covered when it comes to chocobo's in this game.

1. Let us breed and raise our own chocobo's. Cross breeding with each others for desired effects = win.

2. Let us ride then whenever and for however long we want.

3. Let us customize our own chocobo to fill multiple rolls such as mount, war mount, beast of burden, etc etc. as well as add acessories (new items crafted my DoH?).

Please make this happen, it would add a purpose to the mount system. You could even do away with the anima system and most people wouldn't give a s$#%.

lol Pimp my Chocobo?

I want a flying chocobo. WoW has flying mounts and it looks fun. Eorzea would be so beautiful to explore from the skys as I manually fly my chocobo from epic landscape to epic landscape. If you just give the flying chocobo a chance I think everyone would love it.
