A Mounting Wishlist for Mounts

[Mudcat]

Please pass on most of these mount suggestions some are down right ridiculous and or make no sense of logic. Flying hearts, Easter bunnies, an aldgoat, coblyn, to name a few.

They were supposed to be ridiculous and funny, that was the whole point. To have as much fun with it as is possible.

Also event mounts blow.

How is that effectively any different from adding useless, low-level costumes to events? At least the mounts will add something useful even if you already have a dozen others to chose from.

If you do add more mounts I hope you keep it to where everyone that wants it can get it at any time - like the rep rewards and subscription rewards.

I agree. As long as you met the requirements to unlock them.

Also if you add to many crazy mounts the game might become a circus.

I disagree. This game is more of a fan-service experience than a serious one.

I'd like an invisible mount that'll make our characters look like they're flying.

Job Class Mounts:

I have brought this up earlier but one of the ideas that I really like is bringing a mount unique to each job class, except for Conjurers (since they already have one). Once you hit level 30 you can quest for these mounts or not (as the mood takes you), but you can't deploy them without having a Chocobo license the same with any other mount. But here is a more detailed list of which mounts would be good for each job class, followed by a descriptor.

Lancer: Highwind Wyvern. These wyverns are said to be the descendents of wild wyverns and wyverns believed to have fought alongside dragoon knights from a mythical land known only as Vana'diel. Whether that is true or not is unknown, but they have a very distinctive scale hide that is blue in color.

Botanist: Goobue. You thought this mount was removed from the game for good, but a certain traveling merchant has seeded trees and thickets with the spirit of this mount for all skilled Botanists to find, provided they put forth the time.

Arcanist: Carbuncle. Do not for one moment believe that just because this ethereal being deigns to fight along side you that it will bear your burden lightly, only it's most trusted allies and companions will it carry.

Thaumaturge: Ixion. Sleak, black as midnight, and difficult to tame, this alicorn only aligns itself with masters of the elements.

Fisher: Crab. These distinctive crustaceans are known to be easy going, they are also strong enough to use as porters. But special training is needed to use them as mounts, training that is a closely guarded secret of the Fisher's Guild.

Miner: Coblyn. Because of their rocky exterior and distinctly shy demeanor, these penultimate tsundere require special handling to use as mounts and only the Miner's Guild knows the secret to tame them.

Alchemist: Morbol. Alchemists aren't just potion makers but also tinker with living creatures and are responsible for creating homunculi, chimeras, and, of course, morbol. Of those only morbol can be tamed or used as mounts, and the guild wisely guards the secret.

Armorer: Painted Magitek Armor. Apart from the obvious fact that they're painted, as the name suggests, they are also smaller than their counterparts in the empire and lack the magitek cannon. Their construction is still considered top secret by the Armorer's Guild, though.

We did have other players as mounts in 1.0. It.... wasn't as awesome as you think:


been there, done that, moving on.

I have 2 words to end this thread and to give the devs a break so they will NEVER EVER have to release another mount at all.

Flammie. Mount.

Regional mounts. Every city-state has at least one monster unique to that region that can be tamed and used as a mount, the individual requirements vary but you need to be at least level 30 to even try unlocking them. Further, you do not need to be aligned with that city-state or a member of their particular Grand Companies but you do need a considerable amount of fame to start the quest. In basic parlance, you must be at the point in the main-scenario where the Grand Companies are vying for you to join them. You can then start the quest at any time.
