Lifting restrictions that are placed because of "lore"

[PArcher]

Well, his species could be nearly extinct on Gaia but still plentiful on Hydaelyn. I'd think the bigger problem is that it's an intelligent sentient species, so using one as a mount would be slavery.

There was an argument a while back about Middy, and how it was "cruel" or "unjust" to force the Father of Dragons to wear a saddle and bridle.

The issue with that argument? He chose to wear those for your comfort riding him (just as he chooses to allow you to ride him at all).

Nothing says another intelligent mount can't do the same.


EDIT: And everyone forgets that Kirin is an intelligent mount, allowing you to ride him after proving your worth collecting the element-infused Nightmares (but not an actual Nightmare...)

Can you imagine a NIN in some of those really heavy plate sets?

Ninja ilv 110 pvp gear is most likely the heavy plate sets IMO.

I feel ya. I can't have eyebrowns because of lore.

For glamour purposes, I would love to be able to use the casting gear on my healers because ever since I have started I have always wanted to make a "dark" healing look. Also the Eikon casting gear looks way cooler than the healing gear... Technically it's still magic gear!

Can female Au Ra get Kain from FF IV as a mount?
