I kinda sorta collect mounts just cause they're there.... so to speak. 99% of the time, though, I use my GC Chocobo, as I'd be perfectly fine if that was the only mount we ever had. Can't say I care much about novelty mounts, less much for shiny types. Not too fussed about other people using them but I do get irked a lil when a giant Behemoth or the Magitek are right in my face and in a way I feel poked in the eyes in the same way whenever there's a sparkly horse on screen.
