That last post did get off topic a bit, but the mention of endgame intrigued me. One thing I hated about endgame in any MMO was having to show up on a certain day at a certain time. Dynamis was really bad because of how infrequent you could do it, and the only real way you could do it was with a LS. I like content that you can just get a pickup party and go with it.

Back to mounts ... having a variety of mounts would be cool. The Empire uses a lot of different machines, so why can't we have something like that for a mount? Why not have a quest where we have to fight a few Empire guys on something resembling motorcycles and for winning you get that as a mount? Or if SE would rather stick with Chocobos, can we rent some that have armor? Or if breeding is possible can we equip them with different gear? That way they're not just a chicken that we ride around on. Combat while mounted is a cool idea too
