I'm honestly really against mounts other than chocobos.

The entire purpose of Chocobos are domesticated birds meant to be transportation. If an adventurer had a choice between a domestic bird or a fire-breathing drake, what do you think they're going to choose?

Riding monsters makes no sense either, they're damn MONSTERS. A dodo, maybe. Anything non-aggressive. But an Ahriman? A Voidsent mob? Yeah, I'm sure one will be just fine with you sitting on its back.

Realistically, I'm sure there will be an explanation and a process you have to go through in order to obtain these monster mounts, but I'm still not happy about it. Any "mount" in FFXIV can be done with a chocobo. Need a flying one? Black chocobo. Swimming one? Blue. The groundwork is laid out for it already, and it just feels like they're cheapening the value and impact of mounts in general, especially Chocobos by letting you ride monsters. It's just going to end up being a novelty.

I know that there's really nothing we can do to stop this from being implemented, and from the looks of things in the poll (not like these things are an accurate reading at all anyway) most people seem to like this idea, so I guess I'm in the minority. Oh well, I can always hope that they'll decide against implementing it.
