[dev1082] The (un)Official Mount System Thread

[Lionix]

I can't even imagine how painful it'd be to ride on a Coblyn... lol

Can it truly be any more painful than wearing a bronze subligar all day? Wedgies from that stuff make Coblyn Mounts sound like riding a moving Craftsmatic bed.

Edit:
I believe we could, and probably should, move from Chocobos (though not excluding, of course). Thing is, as long as we don't go "animal mounts" all over the place (tigers, wolves, ostriches, etc.) we'll be golden, specially monsters.

Here's my view on it: The whole "everyone is a barbarian in the Dark Age and we tame the wildest mossters, including the ones we kill because that's how damn Conan we are. Also huge beards." isn't exactly Final Fantasy's feel (Hell, if anything, characters are rather... "delicate"...), not saying I am against it, it just isn't what's supposed to be here. Chocobos are merely our horses, a rather tame animal. We don't go mounting polar bears or freakin' gorillas. Final Fantasy does have a rather toned-down steampunk feel to it, though, and it's what I've often appreciated, how it seems to have slight technological advance in a bit of a "what if we had gone down this road instead?" situations, ie. the Airship.

And even after assembling this argument, I can't for the life of me present a valid suggestion of a mount that falls under the mentioned category. I guess I just voided myself.
