Make all mounts into Companions

[RyujinUzikin]

I'm not asking to summon all of them at once, just one at a time, different skill sets, maybe a little more forgiving than chocobo lvling.

And will we someday be able to have all 3 kinds of chocobo roles with different chocobos? It makes sense for us to have variety considering that we can change our jobs, so should we have all 3 kinds of chocobo available for when the situation calls for it.

Thoughts?

Yes, please.

As long as I can have Fat Chocobo for a tank, I'm for it.

Its role will be dps... not tank. Think about it. The dmg it can throw out if you somehow make it charge into targets.

Probably won't happen if SE wants to keep selling mounts in the cash shop and still maintain 'no pay to win' policy. Or at least the semblance of it.

I don't see why should mounts you buy at cash shop be more powerful than mounts you get in game. It just means they'll have their own skill sets.

It would actually make people want to not just grind mounts in the game more, but perhaps persuade people into buying mounts too.

It's not about having an advantage over others, it's about having more pets available to choose when you quest alone.

Honestly, I would be fine if they shared the same skill sets, but just had different animations for their abilities. I could also understand certain mounts not being allowed, like Behemoth, due to their size. I just have no attachment to my chocobo, but Fat Chocobo or my Bomb throne? Love those mounts.

This is pretty much the only way that cash shop mounts could end up being companions without causing the torches and pitchforks to come out. They could even be named differently as well, just so long as the abilities themselves perfectly mimic the abilities of a common or uncommon companion mount, like the Company Chocobo or, in the case of Sleipnir, the Unicorn from the CNJ questline.

I think it's a fun idea, largely because I really want to make a companion out of my magitek armor.

Fun fact, that actually isn't true! The lore of the Bomb Palanquin actually states that it is made up of duds. They couldn't self-destruct even if they wanted to.
