The world is way too expansive not to have mounts.

Mounts should be readily accessible, even if they are not very diverse. By way of example, players should be able to obtain a Chocobo or other such mount as early as R10. Travelling by foot is way too tedious in a world rampant with copy-paste.

Perhaps Ishgard could give a Dragon-riding liscence for a Peiste/dragon type mount too in the same vein as the chocobo liscence in old Jeuno.

I welcome multiple mount species, but I would hate to see mounts that destroy the artistic integrity of the game. Chocobos are a given, and maybe some other iconic monster would be good too, but too many crazy things like giant were-rababs or whatever would be kind of tacky.
