Considering this, he's not going to just start making anything and everything mounts willy nilly, nor will we have hundreds of mounts, so I don't understand how people are getting this.

People are taking this tentative look at a few distinct mounts and translating it as "omg I don't want hundreds of mounts I can't believe he's doing this." That's drastically jumping to conclusions. Yoshi's smarter than this, and it's clear from the live letter alone that he's considering mounts carefully.

In short, don't argue extremely unlikely and far off scenarios to try and make your case. It's not WoW, it's Final Fantasy.
I feel the exact same way. Yoshida's not an idiot, he's the best thing to happen to this game. I trust that he'll keep things relatively tasteful and make it work with the lore. And yeah, it's not like we're going to see 230512641264 different monster mounts with all kinds of ridiculous colors and elemental effects. What we've seen so far is only a small selection of monsters, all in their default textures. People just like to jump to conclusions because they can't handle the idea of something outside of their personal taste being added.

The system seems like it's pretty much finished, it's going to be added either way. I suggest some people here learn to simply deal with it when it happens.
