Thanks for finding that quote from Yoshi-P. It's reassuring to see that Yoshi-P did indeed consider that the introduction of a Goobbue mount in 2.0 would be somewhat contrary to what he connoted two years ago. It seems that success and/or SE hasn't completely consumed his soul just yet.

As for "watered down", it still looks like we went from a "thank-you" mount to a "thank-you" rug , but as someone who felt self-conscious about using my goobbue mount around friends who didn't play back then, I'm happy to call out "the big guy" much more often now.

May "goobbue envy" finally perish from Eorzea.
