The funny thing is, the people complaining ALL took the time to go to eastern la noscea to get their goobbue mount, just to complain about it. The two arguments i've heard about it are just silly:
1. It's too large - Zooming out works fine, plus if its that much of an eyesore, use your chocobo.
2. It doesn't cost anything like the chocobo did - yeah, but the chocobo has been available for a few months, i'm glad i had it to get around and feel it was worth the investment. Plus, you still have to be level 30 to get the goobbue mount, which is quite a bit of effort nowadays.

Also, consider the fact that they are planning on adding armor to chocobos, which hopefully will be more than cosmetic, and i foresee goobbue mounts being obsolete within 2 months. P.S. they're fun and the music is serene compared to the chocobo music!

....One final note: If complaining about more options and fun new things is the biggest issue these players have, then Square enix should just drop all development plans for 2.0 because apparently the rest of the game must be flawless to these people. /sarcasm.
