for my post, I wasn't being serious when I said "Magitek only"
I would probably favor it over any mounts, but that aside.
I should tell you Magitek armor has been in XIV from the beginning, when you 1st hear about Garlamed.
So if you think they should or should not work on it, would be stupid to mention how Galrean soldiers devastate their opponents using Magitek armor, and never actually show it in any fights.

I'm opposed to Arihman or Goobues solely because of (1) arihman can't fly with something so heavy on them, and the evil thing. (2) goobues shouldn't be so easy to tame, along side the tiny legs not being a good means of travel.

I am however, in favor of a unique FFXIV only mount as well. (along side Chocobo customization.)
