SE~ Pet System! Mount System!

[Malakhim]

I'm all for the inclusion of different types of mounts/vehicles.

There are plenty of examples within the Final Fantasy series of different types of transportation, from dragons and chocobos to submarines, airships and motorcycles.

Granted, I'd like available options to be consistent with the lore of Eorzea/Hydaelyn, but I don't think I'd be opposed to the idea of a party being able to ride together on a dragon to a specific destination for example.

I'm all for any type of addition as long as it makes sense to add within the game world.

It wasn't a ripoff...You weren't encouraged to CATCH EM ALL, battle gym leaders, drug your monster up, etc...
It shared similarities, but is every monster fighting minigame a pokemon rip-off?
FFVs Beastmaster is a pokemon rip-off!(wait a minute...)

I guess it depends on your perspective?? both the LSes on the servers I was on called it a ripoff of Pokemon

[HawaiianPunch]

I don't think they sat down and said they wanted to ripoff Pokemon, no, but yes, I do felt like it felt like another "Pokemon-esque" game, sorry if you don't like that, but as Pokemon is the most popular and afaik sort of the king of the arena in those sort of games...

I'm sure there are plenty of people on both sides, but I've never really met anyone who didn't feel it was a pankration.

and yes Dragon Quest Monsters is the same sort of game, I didn't care for it much, I vaguely remember having some sort of monster that was a bunch of vines at some point.

The only mount I care about is a Chocobo, but I have nothing against other mounts if that's what some people want. They would need to be specific to FFXIV or FF at the very least. It would be interesting to see some race-specific mounts, ie. only a Lala can ride a Wild Ewe, and only Roegadyn can steer an Aldgoat. Honestly, who wouldn't laugh and take some screenshots at a Black Eft being driven by a Miqo'te that has 3-4 Lala passengers on the back?

The same for vanity pets. I don't personally care for them, but if someone wants a Cactuar, Tonberry, or Moogle following them around town all day, then that's not going to detract from my enjoyment of the game.

I'm for varying breeds of chocobo that are different colors/speeds. You could even give them stamina and some breeds have higher stamina but have lower sprints, others the opposite.

And yeah, I'm all for pet jobs. But the current mob variety is sorta weak. Maybe bottled pets of new mob models?

Exactly. I'm all for that. Maybe having only one mount isn't "typical MMO" or whatever. Stick true to FF and have different colored chocbos instead.

[Malakhim]

I'm pretty sure even if anima were still around, people would want to ride chocobos.

'Cause they're awesome and shit.

[Spuffin]

PFFFFFFFFT mounts?!

Why have those when you can teleport~

Lol. Can't disagree there. It would take a lot longer to use a chocobo from Ul'Dah to Gridania than if you teleported.

Stick to the golden chickens, this is still a FF game, FF games use chocobo's, not dragons bears and other stupid ideas for riding.
