Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

[Arcell]

These are aggressive beasts, with no established facilities to domesticate them. That alone should be lore enough. It is possible that when the apocalypse happens, we capture some tamed Amalj'aa drakes, and then use them as mounts.

Otherwise, like I said, they aren't domesticated animals. Ever try to ride a feral animal?

That's something they could easily add into the game though. Just as easily as they added materia into the game. Some guy who has mastered this technique pops up, teaches adventurers, fits in with the game now. Also I think there was some mention in, I think it was the last Pugilist class quest, of tamed beasts in Ishgard.

Haters gonna hate.

I want a dodo mount!

[Remi_Tsukiko]

I think it'd be really cool to have a drake mount, with different colors to choose from! Also, a white chocobo!

[Resty]

Well if recent patch history is any indicator, you'll do what you need to get the mount, and 2 months later it will be obsolete, and you'll have to do something else for the new better mount, so 2 months later you can do something else for the new better mount, so 2 months later you can do something else for the new better mount.....
I can't disagree that Yoshi is VERY influenced by his WoW years, from the "whole server can join in and kill your mob for you" mechanic, to the "work your ass off for a new version of the item you just worked your ass off for" end game ad nauseum WoW update model, to the whole creature mount thing.....
It seems he really DOES think the playerbase at large is looking for another WoW clone with the FF name attatched to it.

I will get a Goobue and name him Snorlax.

Except for the whole One Character = One Job, Skill Tree, and loyalty polarity thing... the other 80% of the game. He's just trying to find a balance in what people enjoy in their MMOs and not have it undermine Final Fantasy. It's a difficult task and, imho, he's going about it gracefully; I'm glad I'm not the one it was given to - no matter what he does there'll be anger.

I'm fine with monster mounts. But I think it should be limited to a pet class like beastmaster and I'm sure the developer team has also thought about this.

Maybe while riding the monster that will be the beastmaster's main dps by mounting the monsters and giving them orders. If the beast master is knocked off the monster he loses control of it. The beastmaster will also have a limited amount of time when it possesses a monster.


Think People, because the whole "bawwwwwwwww it's turning into a wow clone" is getting old.

[Rubicon]

They are adding them.... another great poll. BRB going to make a poll on how they shouldn't implement the materia system.

Ya think if we give all the dragoons the dragon mount they will not want a...? oh nevermind.

I'm getting kind of flabbergasted seeing all of the "This should only be for Beastmaster" posts. I dun get it - so you want the little "Hey, thanks for having faith in us." reward for staying through the Seventh Umbral Era to 2.0 to be something only one job that we don't have can use? Or that maybe they can reward us with a L50 BST? Or are you saying that you reject their offer and would prefer something else?

I, for one, think it's a profound gesture to break that chocobo tradition for a very small community and say, "In 5 years, when many players have come and gone, and the game is stable and all of this is so far behind us it is barely remembered, you - survivor of the calamity - will retain a mark left on the world. You will have learned to tame the un-tame-able."

This wouldn't be the first time a Final Fantasy characters power was exhibited through a powerful non-chocobo mount.

Literally the only thing that could make this a bad idea in the long term is if the community who DIDN'T STAY, who DIDN'T INVEST, who said it WASN'T WORTH IT decided that they wanted it too and bitched and bitched and SE said something OTHER than, "STFU, you didn't earn it. Learn to deal."

I'm more surprised at the fact that there are people who don't want this implemented. It's just like the response to jumping. If people don't like something they'll think of any excuse to have it cut from the game or to try and prevent it from being implemented just so they don't have to see other people with said thing.

If you don't like the new mounts then don't use them.

It's embarrassing how childish some members of this community can be. These threads come up every time a new addition to the game is announced, and then they disappear once said addition is implemented.
