Mount & Barding Wish List

[Kiroko]

Mount Name: Logistics Bug Model CLWB
What is it? How would it be Obtained? A Clockwork Bug that can randomly drop from Low Level Maps
Picture: None as we should be familiar with this version
Inspiration for this mount? The Mimics from XII, which were reused as Allagan Mobs
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe? The Mimics already exists as Allagan Constructs, surely it can't be hard to assume that these variants are mutations caused by aetherial phenomena .....

How would you ride these? They would have to be rather large for you to ride on their backs

These mounts would also be larger than the mob version, as they are built helping with Transportation of cargo much like the Logistics Node

[Kiroko]

Mount/Barding Name: Stag
What is it? How would it be Obtained? A high level fate or quest
Photo/Drawing? (Optional)

Inspiration for this mount?From the two movies above ^
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe?I would love to be able to ride a giant stag of some sort even if it was an antelope stag that is already found in the Black Shroud. Im sure it wouldn't be hard to create some lore behind a largish stag like creature we could ride found in one of the many forested areas of FFXIV.

They already gave us a Drg, Pld, Whm, and Blm barding. I'd like a themed barding for every Job in the game at some point.

why isnt there ifrit barding, garuda barding and titan barding? every newer primal but moogle got their barding as well. Even odin had its barding early on. I agree i want a drk barding and a smn barding as well

It is time once again for me to rally for an Aldgoat mount! Though my chances are slimmer than ever now that everything needs to fly.. ; ;

Mount/Barding Name: Aldgoat
What is it? How would it be Obtained? Seasonal event? A fun little quest? Hildebrand? Dungeon drop? Primal drop? Just give it to me. >_>
Inspiration for this mount? I've loved Aldgoats since 1.0. I need to gallop across Thanalan, nay, ALL OF EORZEA astride one of those majestic beasts.
How would it fit into the FFXIV universe? They already exist. Lore says the Dunesfolk see them as symbols of wealth and prosperity. Do we need any more of a reason!?


*Edit* I got it! If it needs to fly it can be a Starlight Celebration reward. Since there aren't really any reindeer mobs in the game Godbert- er, the Saint of Nymeia can have a team of magical flying Aldgoat. :'D

What we need is a treant mount. All of us can go lumbering around on our own personal walking tree!

They gave me my Pegasus... so I'm happy XD.

But I think it would be lovely if the primal mounts, once they can fly; would have feathered wings rather then the Kirin 'Pixie' wings.

I would like a common bicycle though, I just think the idea is cute.

I also think it would be really cute but I've never seen anything like a bicycle around in Eorzea. I think it would be hard to fit it into the world.

Ironically enough in Ul'dah near the entrance to the GSM's Guild there's two lalafell NPCs talking and if you walk close to them you get dialogue balloons appear of what they're talking about - one of them mentions he's come up with a new mode of transportation which is a "seat suspended between two wheels that you pedal with your feet"... and his companion just scoffs and dismisses it as a "stupid idea." Sooo... there is that possibility some kind of bicycle might make it into Eorzea (unlike Cloud's motorcycle, a bicycle would easily fit given it's origins in the 19th century, even ignoring the above reference already in game).

But then, given lore wise the Syndicate (specifically, Lolorito) are hellbent on holding back any kind of transport innovation that he himself cannot make money out of or would otherwise compete against his aetheryte network income and chocobo carriage services, I wouldn't be surprised if Lolorito would deliberately conspire to prevent bicycles becoming commonplace in Eorzea....

Or maybe I'm just overthinking this too much!
