And in 1.20b we'll have...

Can we get a Lalafell exclusive Marmot mount please. Seriously, they are huge and I can definitely see myself riding one. I'd also like to tape at least 5 more tails on it, and paint them blue.

IDK why ppl are getting so butt hurt. This isn't a big deal. Various mounts will come out. You wont be restricted to just a gobbue option.

A good majority of ppl like the gobbue. Let's just stop acting like whiny children and leave it at that

Also: restricting the gobbue's speed and limiting its useable time?
... Come on guys, seriously stop the "my opinion is the center of the universe because I have all the opinionated facts" routine. Mounts are mounts, many mmos have varied mounts... There's nothing seriously wrong with it.

This thread really shouldnt exist because it's ignorant to debate something that is inevitable and based on fun.

Did I say fun? Yes! Did you ever stop to think that the gobbue is just a neat addition meant for fun and uniqueness to spice this game a little? The same goes for the drake and Ahriman

So stop being an Scrooge and ruining pols potential fun just for the sake of trolling because you're bored.

Instead login to ffxiv and work on your achievements or make some Gil

Have fun everyone and relax! SE is brining the game in a good direction

See the thing is "purists" don't really even pay attention to other FF games when they make all of their nonsense comments. No one ever remembers the barrel do they? How about the bug? WHAT ABOUT THE CANOE!?

[AmyNeudaiz]

You guys still complaining about this?

While not as linear as X or XIII, it was the beginning of the trend.

[SnickleWhiskers]

You know if they told you where to go in FF1 it'd prolly be just as linear.

Wait I mean I like the idea of a goobue.

I liked 9.
Good balance of direction and openness. Really though, comparing the art direction of X (or any other of Toriyama's games) to XIV is kinda off. They're a world of difference as style goes.

SSSHHH! You're not supposed to mention smart things.

Hey gang, wanted to drop in a few tidbits about the impending release of the Goobbue mount! In regards to how to obtain the mount, it's going involve speaking with an NPC with a character above level 30 which will then give you an item to call the Goobbue.

Now as to whether or not the Goobbue will have its own music... it seems like the sound team has created a brand new song for it! We have a comment below from Soken (from the sound team) about his inspiration for the song.

A huge gray bulk of a giant that grazes amidst a vast grass field.
It seems like a vicious beast, but is really super clumsy with a lot of strength.
This is pretty much a Goobbue, right? At least this is my personal take on it!
My image is of players zipping around a vast wilderness on the back of this the gigantic and loveable beast.
(The "zipping around" is completely different than the zipping around on the back of a chocobo, though.)

The most striking image is that of the back of a friendly Goobbue, standing motionless in a grass field that is painted with the sunset. I hope you're all excited to hear the finished song!

Somehow I get this vision of Goobbues sitting around a campfire with knees hugged to their chests, swaying and singing "Kumbahya"...

More seriously, I'm sure the music will be great.
