I like the new Goobue Mount! Now I can ask people if they wanna go on a magic carpet ride!!! This show be the theme music when riding the Goobue --->>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEEzbFxEbB8

As long as my chocobro is faster than the gobbue, I'm cool with this. I like the sitting style on the gobbue mount. Can't wait to it whilst rocking monk AF.

Why can't we just have chocobos...why do we have to do what other mmo's are doing...why change a formula that didn't need changing?

[AlexNiculaie]

Why remain static simply for tradition's sake? Every Final Fantasy changed things up. There is no reason that XIV can't add to the series other than the shear stubbornness of those afraid of change.

Careful, you might get accused of being afraid of change just because you're playing an MMORPG titled Final Fantasy XIV, since when you decide to play World of Warcraft we all know you're expecting a first person shooter taking place in the center of earth with time travel and Metroids.

How about...they focus on making Final Fantasy XIV more of a Final Fantasy before going the generic route of MMORPGs and offering nothing new because people want the same crap they got from every other MMO to be in here instead of SE trying something different?

I'm all for change, but they can easily enhance the chocobo system instead of going the route of generic mounts # 1 - 220 just because other MMOs does it.

Umm..they haven't even released how we obtain this new mount. What if it is a quest where we get it as a reward and it is already tamed for us? No one knows yet unless I missed something where they released every last detail about it, or if I am misunderstanding you.

You, like others seem to have misunderstood exactly what she meant. We already knew there would be a pet class introduced (Shepard) at one point in time, when that is we don't know, but her post was basically saying it would have been better if the ability to tame and mount monsters were possible due the pet class, rather than just anyone having the ability to mount monsters out of the blue. yet somehow people took that as her saying this game shouldn't have mounts at all.

It's unlikely there will be a quest or anything that goes into detail because this is clearly added as fan service since they said there will be special mounts for those who stick around through the rebuilding process to XIV's 2.0 relaunch.

Every time they add crap like this, it saddens me. Really what is wrong with some of you? This mount looks horrible, it is tacky, and is does not fit at all. In every Final Fantasy you rode Chocobos!... not horses, not Ostridges...... not Gobus..... but Chocobos....

This has nothing to do with nostalgia, or "sticking to the old ways" it has all to do with artistic integrity, and all I am seeing right now is Yoshi selling his out......

I love the general direction the game is going in, but this kind of crap is uncalled for.....

You don't have to get it.

I dont want to see it.....


you want diversity? add different colors, add in the breeding system, not throw in 50 pointless horrible looking mounts.

If we are able to get all 4 mounts, which would be awesome, there will be more than just goobues running around.

The breeding system probably won't be out till 2.0.

Just gonna have to deal with it till then.

[Edgecrusher]

Not my cup of tea, but frankly it DOES look cool...i'll personally stick to my chocobo ((unless i get a drake mount >.> )) but if people want it, go get it.
