Poll: lets say they implement the mounts

[Vandark]

you knew it was coming

Indeed

I couldn't help but laugh a crap load when I saw this and had to show you this old Screenshot of my FFXI character with a dead Dahmel on his head.

Personally I think Final Fantasy is fine without random mounts, in my opion Chocobos are the only necessary mount for an FF game. If they want to add more why not just include Chocobo breeding again, Chocobo mini games like Chocobo racing so forth.

Make Chocobo gear adding a customisable aspect to your Chocobo.
For example gear could improve your Chocobos speed so forth and more Chocobo types could be added, blue, green, black even gold. They could make the Gold Chocobo there flying mount like in FF9. There is already so much they can do with Chocobos I don’t see a purpose in adding random crap

They ARE adding chocobo breeding, colors, physical differences, abilities, equipment/armor, and combat capability... All that is happening regardless. Chocobos aren't getting replaced as the pinnacle mount at all. Chances are they'll also remain the fastest form of mount.

Yea I know all that but still... LOL I just think it's a bit random and not really takeing the right direction. I guess it could still be fun for some people.

Provideing the mounts were just a fun thing and didn't over take the chocobos in any way then I guess it's ok, but there is still the lag issue I am pritty sure in some cases it will cause.

Meh I will always asume the people on random mounts are EX wow players hahaha

Funny you should say this. I've never played wow, and I think riding other mounts would be a fun option. If you ask me, customization options, whether it be mounts or otherwise, is something that an MMO can never have too much of. I think sometimes people get a little too uptight and just need to relax and give the game some freedom to grow.

I can't really speak to the specifics of lag or anything, but I seriously doubt that Yoshi or the rest of the team are overlooking something like this. They're smarter than that, and they're aware of hardware/software limitations. It may even be a non-issue to begin with.

It depends how many people use these mounts and are around the same places, no matter what a group of something as large as a Goobue is going to add the chance of increased lag or load time. In curtain situations it could be a really annoying issue for some people, of course not everyone will be effected by this.
In every other mmo I've played that had large mounts it's always been a problem lag wise. I just fear with FFXIVs graphics it could be an even larger issue. Oh well, we will just have to wait and see.

Lag? Really? If your system can take an Ixali camp it can take a Goobbue.

I asked a goobue what it thought about possibly being a mount, its response was



Then it hit me.

Coolest mount ever. :P Love these guys.

i'm just wondering how are you "WoWtizing" a game when you're using xiv's lore and bestiary for mount options? lol


oh PS: For the argument earlier about "why magitek" "it was only in one final fantasy" actually it was in two, XIV. Magitek theme and usage has been in way before Yoshi took over. Just sayin...
