Magitek.
That is the only transportation I accept.

ive seen pictures of it from 6 and to me the name is cooler than anything else about it

Nostalgia, mainly.

It seems one of the viewpoints going around pertaining to FFXIV is that
1) things FF has done before (whether it's once or in every iteration) is wonderful
2) new things that FF wants to try is horrible and doesn't belong in the franchise

Unfortunately, this kind of view will only server to stagnate the growth of the franchise.

i see.
i dont mind magitek but i was sort of thrown off by the amount of people wanting it. even my friend who hasnt played a FF since 7 has mentioned he loves magitek
either way as long as i have more than just a chocobo to travel on in the future then im happy

NO! It's called consistency and makes the world more believable and helps immersion. Chocobos are bred to be mounts not Gobbues or Ahriman. I like the lore as it is, no need to mess with it.

I don't see how the franchise can stagnate by making the iconic chocobo that everyone loves the only mount.

Innovation and progress builds on a well established base. That base is the lore of FF and need not to be changed to grow.

becasuse your wrong.
magitek mounts only existed in 1 out of 14 games and all of its spin off games if i just read correctly (reading up on it now).

sure chocobos are the only animal mount i was able to freely ride on, but Shoopuffs are a perfect example that Chocobos are not the only animals bred to be mounts whatsoever in the franchise.
if you want to talk about consistancy then why not the entire aesthetic of the game? XI and XIV are two games out of 14 that look nothing like the rest of the entire franchise.

i absolutely agree though that flying mobs and Gobbues should not at all be mounts, they just dont make much sense. Gobbues are clunky bipeds, since when would that make a suitable mount?

I realize I made the point in this thread about mounts, but my post was really addressing the overall concept that keeping things the same all the time without creating new elements can stagnate a franchise. I wasn't really referring to mounts or FFXIV specifically with that statement, even though it does apply.

Vote for this one if you are sick and tired of voting for crap that doesn't matter

[Answa]

BLM. Ahriman. Nuff said.

[Dreadnought]

on subject.

magitek aside, id prefer them focus on current Chocobos for the time being and not release any other animal mounts until theyve created a whole new animal mount, not current mobs.

Honestly I don't know.. Depends on if we get a nice story quest to give reason to the mob being loyal to you..
Actually I wouldn't mind a Drake (while/gray plz lol).. Given we have seen them domesticated by the Amal'jaa.

But overall I'm still against it for the most part
