Feature Request: Display Other Players' Mounts As Chocobos

[Efrye]

The mounts players run/fly/drive/wobble around with these days is by far the biggest detractor from the game's style and atmosphere for me. SE clearly puts a huge amount of time and effort into crafting a believable and atmospheric environment, but I can't really appreciate any of that when it's filled with burning ponies, flying chairs, floating flower puffs, bigass saddled dragons, and now motorbikes and cars. Yes, they all have some kind of lore attached to them, but that doesn't mean they visually fit into the world.

Please consider giving us an option to display every mount as a chocobo. This should be fairly easy to implement, apart from mounts with more than two players on them. But that's a rare occurrence anyway, so those could simply be displayed as they are, or replaced by multiple Chocobos.

I realize many people don't get this request. I also realize that many will be against it since they want to troll/brag with their mount selection. But please keep in mind that not everyone would use this option, so you'd still have enough of a crowd to troll and show off to.

It isn’t that hard to gather 200k MGP.....

Players trolling and showing off is only part of it...

This is one of the things that you can pretty much 100% guarantee won't happen because of the existence of a Cash Shop.

Players are also advertising the mount/glamour in-game, which can create excitement/queries, which can lead to impulse buys, which generates more revenue.

That kinda seems like more trouble than it's worth to implement?

Indeed it isn't.

[Deceptus]

Indeed it isn't.

What's the issue? The NPC is clearly still visible and usable.

[HyoMinPark]

I’d rather development time be spent on something else, to be honest.

[Wynn_Storm]

Indeed it isn't.

Lol do people not realize you can just Press X (if you haven't changed the hotkey) to just hide all names.

It doesn't matter if you are standing on the NPC, and besides she is behind the counter. So she is still easily able to be clicked on.

[Bonbori]

No.

If you want to change how stuff looks on your end, you can always go to the modding discord and request/make a mod.

Everyone else gets to admire my massively overpriced bike AND THEY BETTER LIKE IT.

They could just prevent players using mounts in end game hubs like Rhalgr's Reach or Idyllshire, but I'm pretty sure more players would be against that than for it.
