Fat cat mount?

[Heliantheae]

It might be for an upcoming seasonal event. Got valentiones and little ladies day relatively soon.

A giant cat for little ladies would be nice. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Like 97% chance it's cash shop.

Why is everyone assuming the achievement vendor to get a mount? Afaik, they only said they'll add a new reward. Could be a minion for all we know.

The Magitek claw mount is a achievement vendor mount
Also the previous veteran reward mounts are in there too
Behemoth,fat chocobo and Eyeball

That was before they saw that they can simply add these things to the cash shop and people will throw money at them. I'm pretty sure that most of those Mog Station items that get so frequently added as of late would've ended up as (the now gone) Veteran Rewards otherwise, but money is money. The achievement vendor gives me the feeling of being there just to "hide" that the veteran program ever existed, and it's pretty obvious that they don't give a damn about it seeing how often it's updated, and with what.

Magitek claw was 4.3(i think i know it was SB) very recent
So clearly at a time they could add it to mogstation.

Just one of the few bones that they threw at us to justify the change and not make it look so obvious. On the long run you can't compare it to what the veteran rewards offered, at all.

I'll even expand more on this. Not only did they see that people will throw money at the Mog Station without second thoughts, but they also noticed that they can entice people to stay subbed with the housing demolition timer instead of offering rewards (penalty vs reward, both are ways to keep someone paying). That's why I don't expect housing to ever be fixed other than getting a few new shards here and there. Why "waste" money in giving customers gifts to build customer fidelity when you can make them stay subbed while not investing money in actually improving one of the most controversial systems, and just sell those goodies that you were giving them before? It looks like a win-win situation to me, and something that any company would do (when allowed by their customers) in order to maximize profits. It's the same reason as of why the inventory "limitations" can magically disappear if you pay more, in a model even worse than what F2P games do (additional sub vs a single purchase).

Anyway, this is getting a bit off-topic at this point, so I'll stop here. But yeah, I also think that it will be a Mog Station item.

The only new thing they added to the achievement vendor was an orchestrion roll, sadly! I'm hoping that the Fat Cat mount will at least be MogStation! I'd rather that than Eureka...

[AngelyLowell]

My bet is that one of those mounts will be a partnership promotion campaign with amazon again (like happens with the cloud mount and maid outfit).

I was checking the database and there is a new outfit too.

Well i dont think its for eurêka because i see more the flying carpet in it :3

All the store mounts use the same music now, and that track is assigned to the carpet. The cat is an enigma.

Well someone on reddit pointed out that the carpet plays the music that some cash shop mounts now play. So that one might be in the cash shop.

Its just sad if any of those end in there because that means the unique mounts in the cash shop are just increasing more and more while we did not have a single log in campaign with a mount after the ship one or any big achievement rewards.
