Mob mounts. Do you want them? (Poll)

this is NOT final fantasy. final fantasy ever had "just" chocobos

What kind of logic is this? Final Fantasy can never ever add anything to the franchise because it won't be Final Fantasy?

Put yourself in a time before FFVI was released. Would you have declared that game to be not Final Fantasy because they made Magitek mounts, something never before seen in Final Fantasy and wasn't even a chocobo? Ridiculous, right? Totally not Final Fantasy. Well, it made its home in Final Fantasy as one of the most popular additions in the franchise, and continues to be something that players fondly look back on.

This can only ever happen if SE pushes the boundaries to create NEW elements. We can't keep dwelling in the old, because Final Fantasy is constantly evolving with new ideas.

Okay, so Yoshi has tentatively put forward 3 possible limited edition 1 time only mounts. He's even said he's not sure about using those three, so it's clear that he's being selective and careful about what he chooses to be a mount. 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.

THE MOON IS FALLING, THIS IS NO TIME TO BE CONCERNED WITH CLASS! {shakes you} DO YOU WANT TO DIE, WOMAN!? TASTE CAN WAIT! SADDLE THAT DRAKE AND RIDE TO FREEDOM WITH ME AND SOMEDAY WE'LL TEACH THEM MANNERS AND SHOCK AND AMAZE THE BIRD-RIDERS WITH OUR CAPTIVATING AND CARNIVOROUS BEASTS OF CLASSINESS.

^ Loved this... :x

I would like different options for mounts (Antelope please for my miqo'te! XD .. if that's realistic and it's not so skinny it'd topple over. :x I forget exactly how big they are..), but I would like the main focus to be chocobos. I still really want to see choco breeding with much customization in colour, size, feathers, etc. They should improve on the options from XI. Maybe even more colours. :3

No matter what mounts they add, chocobos will always be my favourite.

Edit for clarity: I would prefer only a few options for mounts other than chocobos. 5ish at most?

[SniperRifle]

havent you thousands of MMorpgs out of there with silly and cheesy mounts? hum?.

Someone ask for gobbue mount.. seriously?

I don't want to see monsters as mounts. I like chocobos as mounts. I'm not thrilled with the idea of magitek mounts. They should introduce black chocobo for a flying mount instead of an ahriman... :\

[Engineer]

just imagine a Lalafel hanging from a bomb kicking his lil legs as a mount. hahaha that would be awesome.

i have no problem with that if i am ignored by someone like you. when i just look at your post.
no i didnt know that gobbue is from FFXIV *sarcasm off*... man your IQ is really high isnt it?

and i mean its not "final fantasy" like to ride on a silly gobbue ... really awkward.

but complaining about dragoon not be "traditional" enough... because the drg never ever had a wyvern to his side except FFXI.

and yes i think Final Fantasy are almost classic. typical FF aspects you can find in any game. and i dont think that we need a gobbue to mount on, which is really awkward and cheesy besides that. in every MMorpg we have silly mounts. i dont know what people care all about that.

Right, because Final Fantasy has never had any sort of similar sillyness ever before. Oh wait, what's this?

Pretty much exactly the same situation, if not sillier, as the Goobbue mount that you're denouncing as "not Final Fantasy."

Um, sorry, but I've never said anything like that about Dragoon. Not sure why that's even being brought up.

Yes, every FF has similar elements which make the franchise what it is. However, every FF ALSO has NEW elements which make each game different and distict from the last one. If it wasn't for this we'd be playing the same game every generation.

We don't "need" mounts? Of course not. We don't "need" housing or access to Ishgard either but a lot of people want those. The more stuff to do in MMOs, the better.

People like options and fun things to play with. This is one of them. Not everything has to be serious and "realistic" in a game meant to have fun.

That's actually awesome and original, FFXIVs mount ideas are terrible in comparison.

Huh... So you would be more on board with having a giant magically animated stuffed moogle as a mount in FFXIV than a goobbue?
