Dark Knight Mount Speculation

[Giralus]

Really hoping for a black panther for the dark knight mount. Same size as the white lion. Think it would fit with the other mounts for tanks and fit a dark knight .

[Mirakumi]

Skeleton warhorse. ;3

[zeroaru]

My first thought would be some sort of Black Direwolf, like Shaggy dog.

Like Maahes/Imdugud?

[Jerrek]

I'm hoping for a giant black Boar.

After talking to a friend about one of the suggestions here, I'm really leaning towards a dog. Or rather, a hound. I mean... Hound out of Hell and all.

[Ashkendor]

Like Maahes/Imdugud?

They both use the Coeurl model and we already have a Coeurl mount, so probably not.

[ArcaviusGreyashe]

Well, we have eight ponies with just a color swap. Two Coeurls don't seem that dramatic x)

[Synestr]

DRK should use Diabolos, or a Dira as a mount.

[Tsolake]

Well let's think this one through. Tank specific mounts and PvP armor sets (the newer ones, i100 & 110) resemble animals. Each job has a PvP set, the set corresponds the the job's "animal" counter part.

So it's definitely going to be an animal, based on inductive reasoning.


Now imagine that with some black armor. Awesome.

Knights have a generic connotation with horses (I mean, look at the Chess piece!), which would mean dark knight job => dark horse mount? As unoriginal as it is, I'm banking on it. What if it's a flying mount to cope with the new expansion? I'm putting my money on a shadowy horse with wings. Given that this is a Final Fantasy game, I have no doubts that will be awesome.

Cliche? Perhaps, but it makes the most sense, and I'm sure it will have a unique Japanese Yoshi-P flair.
