The Last Word — The Goobbue Tamer

The goobbue—that massive, lumbering seedkin possessed of a perpetual grin and arms as disproportionately long as its legs are short. Although ordinarily placid when observed in their natural habitat, little short of a stout stone wall will stop one when agitated. Mind you, this has not served to discourage our Ul’dahn neighbors from parading the creatures about in the many opulent celebrations they hold—an impious practice, as I am certain any forestborn would agree. On such occasions these luckless beasts are bound by powerful magicks, lest they get it inside their heads to turn upon their captors.
As if exhibiting goobbues for the dubious pleasure of folk were not in poor enough taste, word has reached my ears of a man who has made it his business to ride them. Aye, mounting the towering seedkins as if they were chocobos; one difference being that a thrown rider could well land within the creature’s razor-lined maw rather than upon the relative comfort of the ground. A thoroughly deserved fate, I am inclined to believe. But this reporter shall set aside personal opinion for the nonce in the name of objective journalism.
By all accounts, the individual in question is a wandering minstrel come to Vylbrand from as yet unknown shores. If rumors can be given credence, he is capable of influencing the humours of goobbues by way of an enchanted horn, one whose distinct sound beckons the creatures and tames them besides.
Much and more regarding the whole affair still eludes my knowing, the goobbue tamer’s true identity for one, the workings of the horn for another. I shall continue my investigations, and would be duly grateful for any morsels of information that adventurers may have come upon in the course of their travels.
And here I put down my quill. Till next time, may the Twelve keep you.

P.S.
That Music was for Goobbue Mounts after all!

EDIT: Didn't see that other post ~.~ sorry I was hyped and didn't search! My bad, let this one sink!

[Mamba]

To be honest... I hate that it seems to run as fast as Chocobos -.-

[Alise]

Good music.

[Whax]

Goobbue should be slower than chocobo and more resitant to damage from mobs, should be simple like that...

[Fated]

Hate the fast speed of the Goobue mount but the music is incredible, waaaaay better than the GC Chocobo theme.

I'm wondering what limited time only means.

[Felis]

I'm wondering what limited time only means.

Not obtainable after 2.0

edit2: fixed

Fuckin' called it! I put that forth as one of the plausible explanations and there it is. Someone who can tame Goobues comes to Eorzea and teaches us how to.

Also looking forward to the Goobue mounts along with any others they decide to give us.

[Nakiamiie]

Seeing the video was great, but I already knew someone was taming the Goobbue! Thanks this interview with a French journalist of Ul'dah.

That aside, I really enjoy how they do their best to explain EVERYTHING in the world. That adds sooooo much to roleplaying, it's awesome. I really hope they keep doing it, always.

Wow so as cheap and weightless controls as chocobo then?

I love the idea but the execution looks really amateurish at this point. Also no quest for it?! Really?
