[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Matty86]

Examination of mount system (including chocobos)???
What THE HELL? INCLUDING CHOCOBOS??

Damn, this is Final Fantasy, ONLY chocobos are allowed.

They can differ in colours, armor or wathever.

Any other type of mounts don't fit in this game.

The first FF (the real one for nes) hadn't any mount, the first mount in the saga appear in the wood in FFII, and you know what that mount was? a CHOCOBO.
Really I can't remember were you ride a dragon expect in ff legend, and really legends are another game from the ff saga.
FFVIII got some cars... but you use it less than one time in the game.

Nope. Chocobos aren't Final Fantasy because they weren't in the first one, which seems to be the argument that people like to use when denouncing anything new.

Also, Final Fantasy V had you using a dragon as a mount(albeit for a short while), and Final Fantasy Legend III isn't an actual Final Fantasy game, it's a SaGa game. If you guys are going to be making claims about what "is and isn't Final Fantasy", I expect arguments backed by expert knowledge on the series.

That isn't a stab at you(you DID ask nicely) as much as it is against everyone who tosses around the "it's not Final Fantasy, fuck that!" argument around like it was about to go out of style, so sorry if I was a little off-putting.

Main saga:

Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIV

Non Main Saga: (the ones whit titles added other than final fantasy + number)


All the VII and IV collection
Dissidia
Legends (And this is another game, it's not even born as ff)
Tactics ones
Crystal Chronicles
4 heros
ecc

I'm not saying that the one outside the main saga are bad or anything (I loved many of them), just they don't belong to the main saga.
The only mount in FF as always been the chocobo since II (the first one didn't have any mounts at all), breaking those little thing are not improving the saga, they are just killing it.

Anyway it's my opinion as a fan, (I've played them all, full cleared them all) like I said, I can't really see people going out riding dogs, monkeys, dragons or whatever ouside chocobos in this game.
