A Mounting Wishlist for Mounts

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

1. Definitely something of Allagan design. ADS, one of those Claws from CT, or something entirely new. But definitely Allagan. Even better if it hovers.
2. As an abstract take on a floating/hovering mount, how about a winged harness/device that essentially makes your character "fly" i.e. Manor Maidservants/Lady Amandine, Garuda (ESPECIALLY her. I love those wings), or again some type of Magitek/Allagan equivalent.
3. How about a crystal/sprites? Since they already float. . .
And 4. For those of us who spread out our points on our Chocobos, Red Mage barding, or perhaps bardings that allude to other FF titles (Chocobo of Light anyone?)

[Wolfhammer]

I want an airship

/nuff said

[Orca]

Mecha-chocobo with turbo thrusters & heat seeking missiles.
Giant Snurble /or/ Snurbles that function like rollerskates.
Cactuar skateboard.

Would also be cool if they gave different animations or at least sound effects to the mount calls. Why am I blowing into a horn when my coeurl is summoned by a bell? I'd like the Magitek to be "activated" by clicking the key, kinda like when you unlock your car doors to get in. And so on..

[Memoriae]

Almost forgot, A Atomos Mount would be nice.

[myahele]

A treant will be nice.

But if anything I'd like for them to keep their actions, but cause no damage

I want them to stop making mounts other than chocobos, and focus all of the human capital they would spend designing new mounts to fire the designers and hire more developers to finish chocobo breeding!

I want blue, black, green, red, gold chocobos with different body styles and sizes and speeds and mounted abilities. Like green chocobos will make you non-aggro to anything below your level, blue would give you a choco-sprint button, black would make you immune to run-speed changes, gold would give you 25% increased runspeed and one of those other abilities depending on what you bred it with!

And choco-dye, so you could dye the tips of your chocobo's feathers different colors, and more customizable bardings, or accessories that would have companion effects. I'd love to see crafted items that could only be attached to chocobo's that were bred, that would give you substantial increases in your abilities. Like a side-mounted bowl of incense might increase your character's MND/INT, a side-mounted scabbard/holster could increase skill-speed, a green choco might increase HP regen, a blue might increase mana regen, etc!

And a little stable in your inn room / FC house room for your choco to sleep in.

And...and...

I just want more chocobo stuff, since that is what is iconic to me in FF. I have some of the other mounts that I use quite a bit, but I'd love to be able to personalize my chocobo. A nice red chocobo with gold feather highlights with a huge feather in his cap for my monk!

[Zantetsuken]

Ride Chocobos or GTFO, if I had my way.

**Actually, I'd allow other mounts, but they would have to be lore-based, obtained via NPC rental, and limited to specific terrain where chocobo can't/shouldn't travel. (Magitek for snow/Garlean areas, Goobbue for Swamps, Drakes for Lava, Ahriman for toxic areas/underground, etc.) Each mount would also have some sort of special ability which helped overcome specific obstacles, avoid certain enemies/NPCs, etc. **

In short, I'm sick of these meaningless, cheap, trinket mounts used to distract gullible players from the real issues in the game.

I mean seriously, a Behemoth mount?, The whole mount situation is getting downright desperate/absurd.

Try open up your mind a little and accept the fact that the "real issues" in the game are "issues" only to some of the playerbase, and that not everyone likes the same things. Some people want less lag, others want less lockouts, others want bigger butts, and others want more mounts or minions. Why should only a small part of the playerbase, to which you belong, be contented? Bashing other people's suggestions or requests will not give your crusade a greater meaning.

Also, as I keep saying to everyone, the DEVs do not all take care of everything. They have a team specifically for mounts, and I assure no one in that group of developers will spend a minute worrying about what you label the "real issues" of the game. They will think about mounts because it's what they're paid to do. These are the devs this thread is addressing to, and no one of the developers in charge of fixing your "game's real issues" will waste their time on this thread, don't worry.

Honestly, they shouldn't have bothered with have all these random mounts.

Chocobos are a huge staple and possible selling point for the game, they should have invested all their resources into designing a lot more interesting barding options and breeding for Chocobos - in fact, I'm not sure why I have two Chocobos, why didn't they just create Legacy barding instead? Seems kind of odd. It might make a bit more sense if Legacy Chocobos end up playing a part in breeding, but I doubt it.
