Goobbue Mount and others

[Jynx]

Hey doesnt that look like a dodo...no? must not be over FFXII either.

The mount idea is great, but they really should show some restraint... be a little more realistic/practical with the mounts they add. Goobue doesn't seem at all practical and it really looks cartoonish for someone to be riding on its back.

How about some horses and ponies? Maybe some wardogs for the tarus.

Aaaanyway, since we're on the topic of nit picky stuff...

A manticore is generally a beast with a single lion's head (or lion body with a man's head). A chimera is an amalgamation of several animals. That is far more likely to be a chimera.

I would bring up the difference between the two in XI as evidence, but I might get my head bitten off.

I also don't see the problem in posting real game .dats on the forums. /shrug

So I was right? Hell yes

I agree with the first part of this, Goobbue is OTT for a generic mount (unless its done as a tamed mount by a Beastmaster-type Job)

On the other hand, horses, ponies etc have never really been a part of the FF mythos with the exception of Odin's steed.


I would rather they just stick to Chocobo varieties for general use and Magitek for special areas.

Actually the model shown will be used for both.
As shown, it is a Chimera (or Khimera?) There will be a variation without extra heads on the back which will be used as a manticore. Its all in the concept art.

Oh yeah, and:

You guys get so defensive over things that are said that happen to be true. The amount of times anyone says, "Oh that reminds me of XI..." is just showing how many people are not over their precious first love. It's hilarious.

"First love"?

I find it extremely fascinating that you would characterize FFXI in that way.
Considering the outrage whenever the game is mentioned, I suspect your "relationship" (as you might put it) didn't end so well?

Hell hath no fury... I suppose.

Its actually kind of disheartening, I really wanted the Ahriman mount.

Also I want that damn staff already, wanted it since I saw it on that NPC when Toto-rak just came out.

ALSO how many mounts will we have by 2.0? We have our standard GC issue Chocobos (armored when 1.21 comes out) Our Gobue mount for playing through to 2.0, and Quest/Event (GMs didn't clarify yet, just said it'd be tough) to gain Magitek Armor, so that's at least 3 we know of now.

Edit:
Just read through the entire thread, what everyone is reffering to as "The new Treeant staff" isn't actually new at all, it's been worn by the mage NPC in Totorak that you speak to for the quest Imperial Devices, its been in the game for quite a while.

Also the "puppet" is Mamet, they've been all over guilds in each city since the release, can't believe there are people that have not yet seen one.

Aaaaand, the "skeleton thing" is an ascian, it shows up in the story quest "Toll of the warden" they're referenced to a couple times throughout the game by a couple different NPCs and cutscenes, they're basically death itself.




And just in my opinion, the Knight and the Dragon, at least for now, look like they could have something to do with the Dragoon and Paladin quests.
