Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

[Coldbrand]

No, it sounds terrible. Chocobos and Magitek are more than enough. Anything else would disrupt "The final fantasy feel."

While I humbly respect your opinion, my horse requests
a word with you.

(My way of saying; Final Fantasy has a few constants, but the rest changes. If I can riiide ze shoopuff in between chocobos and not have it break Final Fantasy, I think I should be able to ride my hard-earned drake and not have it break Final Fantasy.)

I think I'm in love with you.

Regardless: The point is it's a limited-edition gift to us who stay for the whole transition. Not everyone will have one. Not everyone will have the same one. It won't be a permanent feature. It won't be Pokemon. Any other weird oppositions?

Shoopuf was for crossing deep waters in a world where colored Chocobos were not present. Drakes/Goobues/Ahriman are for... doing exactly what Chocobos do. Like I said previously, I'm not completely opposed to it, but Chocobos need to be much much more common than anything else.

Oh, I agree with that. Don't mistake me for saying, "Hey, SE, go hog wild with the mount system!" -- chocobos need to stay on the throne. I simply think it's a profound gesture for SE to say, "Hey, thanks for having faith in us and investing money into our project after such hardship already harmed our business relationship." by breaking that chocobo tradition.

I sincerely hope that the rest of the game revolves entirely around chocobos and magitek machina ... but for this one time only exception, I think being battle hardened during the apocalypse earns us the right to tame some more badass beasts of burden.

Again, I just think it's very deep that they'd consider giving us this option, I'd accept it humbly. After accepting it humbly, I'd spend most of my 2015 running nilly willy through areas threatening to have my horselizard eat the bird-riders, sure, but that's irrelevant.

I'm all for riding these mobs around cuz I loves me some variety. I just hope they implement more original mounts too (as in, not recycled from pre-existing enemies).

How about a "Throne Held By Four Flying Moogles" mount? Americaaaa, f$#K yaaaa!

[Shneibel]

I do like mob mount, but should be only to a extend and they should not be something rare either, I dont want mob mount to be more popular than the tradition mount Chocobo

[El-Neko]

I'll probably be the only guy riding a Salamander if there was a mob mount...

According to Reinheart's translations (who himself says to not take his translations as 100% accurate), those mounts are not neccesarily the ones they are giving as a special mount. Or for that matter, if they are giving a special mount at all. Yoshi-P is asking for it, it's not a definite thing.

Yoshi-P: Also since we’ve finished the mount system we asked if we can include special mount for those players who stay.
(Yoshi showing Ahriman)
Foxclon: It's Ahriman.
Yoshi-P: Yeah but doesn’t mean we’re giving Ahriman, we’re experimenting and testing different mounts for example.
(Shows Drake)
Yoshi-P: testing with wireframe.
Foxclon: so you will be able to ride different stuff
Yoshi-P: yes, we’re looking into it, add stuff players like/love... love... like this guy here.
(shows Goobue)
Yoshi-P: Looking to see if we can give something like this as a present for this time only.

There I am fine with mob mounts - for specific class only !

but if everyone could ride mobs, it would be weird. Ok, here goes.... Beast tamer maybe ?
