The whale mount is up on Mogstation

[SenorPatty]

Can I at least beach this whale on the shores of Costa del Sol and RP an Eorzean activist looking into the suspicious deaths of beached whales, only to find myself mired deep into a conspiracy created by the Monetarists, who promptly try to have me silenced only to be given a bridal rescue by none other than Hildibrand?




What, I gotta milk my money's worth outta that whale.

It's very interesting. A lot of the people who complain about Mog Station mounts not being available in-game do not appear to be mount collectors to any significant degree if one takes a peek at their character's lodestone profile.

True, I don't because I can't.

I can't put 30 bucks in a cash shop mount, I can't bring myself to play PvP nor I have enough gold chocobo feather... So why should I bother start a collection I can't complete. But then again, I'd love to get a reward incencitive enought for me to go fishing or motivate my unsubscibing FC to put together a submarine and get some nice mount out of our spiderweb and dust covered FC house.

You don't need to be a mount collector to want certain mounts. I don't really care for most of the primal mounts myself, but I'd actually use a lot of the cash shop ones. I might even give in and buy them if they were a decent price for something that just a new model that's already on my computer and just has a digit in a database changed so my character can use it.

I wish more people could sit on the boxes on the whale's back. Would have been fun to ferry a light party to a hunt or rp event on a humongous mount lol

You'd have to make that info public which most don't. No need to be a condescending jerk.

There's also no need to whine about this every time SE sells something new, but people do. This is optional content at an extra cost. Very few of the designs have ever struck me as markedly better than anything you can obtain in-game, and what does is usually NPC clothing that most MMOs would never provide you with, anyway. There is nothing condescending in pointing out that some of the people complaining are simply doing so for the sake of it.

Alright, but what rival MMOs are you talking about? And to be more specific : what rival MMOs with a monthly subscription?
If I look at the other MMOs with a sub, I'm not quite sure we can describe FFXIV as reasonable.

WoW is a glaring example.

In the end, it's like any other consumer product - don't like the price, move on. To an extent, feedback assists in fine-tuning their product offering, but what's "reasonable" with respect to consumer decisions is very subjective to that consumer. And besides, most of these things are steeply discounted if you just wait a while. So I really cannot see the issue.

I want more mounts in-game instead of on Mogstation.

In my perfect (subscription) game, all mounts/glamours/items would be obtainable in-game. RIP the old days. ._.;

A whale for whales! The meme writes itself xD
