And in 1.20b we'll have...

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!

I imagine it'll be something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-uUEXDgpRo

I'm afraid they are serious. This game was originally round path in the jungle for running. It was fun though because of the pretty cats riding on chocobocos and u running after. After 100 rounds to city. Then exiting 1 minute standing and u see who are rounding u. 50 steps and same again. Then u pass the door and game crashes. Nah running 100 rounds after goobue is nice and exciting contest.

Sometimes I love these forums.

I'm happy for the free mount, but kinda wish there was a story, with an objective and a few cutscenes, like maybe somewhere in limsa a guy has been studying the goobues, turns out their not all violent monsters, you go on a quest to investigate a disturbance, end up saving a goobue whos under attack by other goobues or humans or whatever, then he becomes your friend. The end.

Seriously if we keep getting mob mounts (specificly ones from FFXI) imma name them after FFXI NMs, I could end up calling a drake Fafnir or Niddhog even though there a lil different.

Need a scorpion mount for me to call Serket, I beat him that many times to get my damn ring he should do everything I say.

A Goobue mount? I'm sorry but I think it's a bit silly. Someone much earlier in the thread mentioned they are all for new mounts so long as they are not ridiculously stupid... I'd say running around on a giant modified Bulbasaur is pretty dumb. I'm all for having new mounts, which is an opinion I didn't always have. I used to be a bit of a purist and went around saying that we should only have chocobos of varying colours and breeds. But after seeing so many other peoples pleads for more mount options I'd like to see those people happy.

Just the thought of people warping to Camp Dragonhead and then each calling a Goobue out of nowhere is quite traumatizing to me. I'm really unsure why the team feels the need to emulate other MMO's and include weird mounts. I'd say that giving us an abundance of Chocobo styles and designs to ride on, would make the game stand out even more that it would by giving us loads of different animals to ride.

If you actually look at the Chocobos throughout each FF game, they have clear distinct design differences. Heck, maybe they could exaggerate those differences to make even more of a difference. Longer ear feathers, Wide beaks, Bigger wings, longer tail feathers, fat chocobo, etc. These things could even have varying colors. A yellow chocobo with long black tailfeathers would be cool in my opinion.

Anyway, if the majority want more mounts then fine give us more mounts. I hope they just keep it sensible and for me, the Goobue is a joke.

WOW=$ common sense that so many company's would look at their success and try to replicate some of it. they ask them selves a ? what do they have they we do not?

If you go down that road far enough, you end up with a WoW clone. In which case, why not play WoW?

I for one, do not attribute WoW's success to their volume of mounts.

WoW was a lowest-common-denominator game. The success of WoW could be easily be likened to the success of 'Two and a Half Men' or 'CSI Miami'.

In my opinion, Fan-service mounts are a fast track to creating that kind of game.

I for one, do not reduce WoW's success to Mounts.

ive never played wow so i wouldn't know,i know that it is common sense that other mmo company's would look to the biggest success in mmos for inspiration though.

I'm not sure what your trying to say. Couldn't understand your post properly, but If you are saying that companies look at other MMO's and copy what is successful, then giving us a plethora of different Chocobo breeds and options would be both giving us more mounts like other MMO's have and keeping it unique and true to the FF universe at the same time. To me, that's a double victory.
