How close are you to your Astrope mount!!???!!??

[Miste]

This looks like very conclusive evidence to me: http://ff14net.2chblog.jp/archives/49009678.html

Not conclusive. It has Golden Japanese text in one of the images so if I were to guess it is screenshots made by SE.

If there was a character name to lookup on the Lodestone to see the mount in their mount list that would be conclusive evidence; otherwise no that's not conclusive evidence and looks like SE's screenshots.

Minion Menagerie scans the lodestone to find out who has minions and mounts and still shows Astrope at 0 as of this post, while another mount added the same patch "Dark Lanner" from Nid EX has 1,377 owners as of this post. It's not 100% proof either but its likely no one has it then.
