[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Cairdeas]

Wouldn't some people complain because that kind of creeps into steampunk territory? Not that FFXIV having it's own version of Warhammer's ROFLcopter would be a bad thing...

half of Final Fantasy is Steampunk.

Very true, actually Final Fantasy VI was considered a steampunk genre video game because the game was set in a words that was much like the second industrial revolution. The Garleans also seem to use mechanical type machines that, instead of running of steam type functions, run off magic type.

Personally, while Chocobos are the mainstay in FF games, I wouldn't mind seeing other types of mounts in the game. Even if other types of mounts aren't part of what makes FF what it is, there have been many things that weren't in earlier FF games that were introduced later on in the series that became part of what makes FF what it is.

Since it does say:

Examination of mount system (including chocobos)

This makes me hope, though I would be fine either way, that maybe they are thinking of introducing more than just chocobo mounts to the game. Also I really did enjoy the breeding and raising system in FFXI, and I actually raised 3 different chocobos in my time playing that game. I wouldn't mind at all if they introduced some kinda of breeding/raising system into FFXIV.

But as always, we will see what SE decides to do!
