It just came out, so what'd you expect? Give it a little time and they'll thin out as they're "newness" wears off. After 2.0, when they aren't even available anymore they'll thin out even more still. Eventually it'll be this rare trophy that only a small percentage of the population are even aware of, let alone own.

Ya gotta look at the big picture, not just what you see during the day one craze.

The big picture is the issue here.

This trend will likely not stop at the Goobbue. The dats already have what appears to be Drake and Wolf mounts, possibly to be given out in the next 2 patches. Then 2.0 hits and all the new players will see the mounts and start clamoring for new ones. This is the beginning of a precedent -- one that will make the entire world look like a carnival rather than a FF game.

Ideally, the Goobbue should be a one-off 'gift' and then all new mounts should be either: A) Rented by players for navigating terrain (ie. Drakes for volcanic areas), or B) Part of a Beastmaster Job that can tame a monster and ride it into battle.

The rental mounts concept has an added bonus. The 2.0 landscape could have several impassible terrain features (ie Lava, deep water, swamps, etc) which can lead to planned expansion areas with an empty NPC shack nearby. When they want to open the zone up, the devs just add in the mount-rental NPC and they are good to go.

It's much better than FFXI's approach of making caves appearing out of nowhere.

I'm with this guy on the matter.

Agreed

You know how much fun its gonna be after v2 comes out when we are running circles around all the new players on our never again attainable mounts lol and 5-6 yrs down the road when u only see a goobbue run past once in a blue moon. It may be overwhelming in the amount now but it will thin and then it will be a true trophy.

gobbue mounts are the most original idea since like what, 1.18,1.17? and ppl don't want it!?
let's roll out some more boring primal fights instead and reenter them 143312432412 times to get a full set of uselessness.

i agree with the OP, if you don't want a gobbue, just don't friggin ride it, but don't destroy the fun for those that want one.
the game's been shit enough so far, and once in a while we get something that some can enjoy but most will still bitch.
this closed minded community thinking will get this game nowhere in such a critical time where each and every feedback to SE is important feedback.

good day sirs

[Shiki_Lockhart]

Think the mounts as pokemons. I'm gonna catch'em all!

Next mount will be probably Drake xD

On other side, think when we can fight alongside with the mounts and gear them up. Chocobo hasn't a chance compared with Gooblue power. (well this is if they ever do the battle thing with mounts)

I think I am the only person in my ls who thinks the goobbue mount is hilarious. Ppl wanna moan and complain about everything but I think this little treat the devs gave us is fantastic and hilarious. There is no reason to nerd rage so hard on the goobbue mount. Its just a piece of fun the devs threw our way. But I guess when it comes to gaming for a dev its damned if you do damned if you dont.

Have fun with it, if you cant then dont use it and just chill pickle

you know that i was in favor of goobue mounts

[WiiSam]

I think the gobbue mount is pretty sweet. I like it. I do have one complaint though...I logged on and got my mount in about 1 minute...and I just logged off and probably won't be back till 1.21.

Woulda been nice if I could go in search of and tame my own gobbue, you know? Or at least go ins earch of a mysterious tamer and duel him and his band of gobbues and once you defeat him he teaches you his methods. Something like that coulda been pretty easily done I think but the mount is still pretty cool I'm happy I have it, and I'll be a lot happier that I have it once 2.0 comes out.
