[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Leonesaurus]

To be honest, I rather TAME half of these creatures people keep mentioning, and have them fight for me, opposed to using them as an excuse for another mount option.

Or better yet, why not just create Disciple of Beasts and have them the option of taming beasts and having the option to "ride" certain tamable mobs, for a select duration before they turn on you or something.

However, the dev team should be focusing solely on chocobos for right now, rather than broadening their range to 50 million other possible ideas, that most people, according to our forums, don't even want now, if not ever.

Focus on bringing in the Chocobos for everyone to ride, then at a later date implement breeding, racing, raising, possible mounted combat and quests, etc.

To be honest, I don't think there's even enough material to work with in the game for other mounts. A raptor is very, very slightly possibile for smaller races, since the dinosaur shares the basic build and movement as a Chocobo. Or maybe an aldgoat for a larger race.

If the art team digs up some of its unreleased monsters or comes up with some new ones that could work as a tamable beast and/or as an exclusive mount, that would be interesting too.

I have an open/welcoming mind for more mounts, but Chocobos are what got me into the series, got me into playing XI for them soley, and excited me even more for this game when it released. I'm happy with just having them for now and even forever. The amount of things you can do with a Chocobo is seemingly limitless.
