The Amaro mount...

[klearvision]

So I'm just the littlest bit salty that what is essentially the First's version of a chocobo is locked behind getting all DoW and DoM classes to level 80. Shouldn't it be a little easier for us to get? I assumed it would be a mount we got through the MSQ, since it seemed to be one of the two mounts that were shown off the most (the other being the pre-order mount). Am I justified in being a little upset at this? I have other responsibilities outside of this game (as I'm sure many others do too), and I don't really have the time to grind all the classes to level 80. Do you think there will be another way to get this mount?

Well that's a bit shocking lol. I figured we'd get a normal Amaro through MSQ. To get everything to 80 for a normal Amaro is a bit extreme sounding.

I think it would be nice to get a generic one through MSQ or beast tribe and maybe an extreme version (like everything 80) being a very very large Amaro like Seto or even a colorful one (basically making it look like Flammie from Secret of Mana).

Doubt there will be another way to get it. They may introduce recolors of it on the Mog Station of it like they did with some mounts down the line.

Doesn't bother me, I always level all the classes to max anyway. I had them all at 70 in SB and all at 60 in HW and all at 50 in ARR. Nothing new for me. Just takes time.

Me too.
But I can understand that it may be hard for many Players to do that. It takes a lot of time. And there might be Jobs people can't stand.
For me these are the Machinist, DRK, Scholar and Summoner.
And now we are having 2 more Jobs. I hope they are fun to play. Otherwise I have to add 2 more Jobs on my "Oh dear" list.

That's still pretty easy to get tbh. It isn't exactly hard to get all of the jobs to level cap.

I mean it's not a hunt mount (Orz lol), but I think OP, and to be honest myself too, is coming from the context each expansion we've received a free mount that we road quite a bit earlier in the quest chain. Especially for example the Yol from Stormblood (giant bird, hippogryph thing), and the Magitek Walker from ARR - both of which were very cool mounts. We did also get the Black Chocobo from Heveansward but I can't really recall if we rode that for quests or not (and legacy / draught > black chocobo), certainly the Yol and Magitek were introduced early on in MSQ content first like the Amaro though.

So to me I actually felt like Amaro fell perfectly in line with Yol and Magitek feelings. Also I think getting all jobs to 80 could be a bit of a spiffy-er mount than just Amaro (like I said maybe colored or big boy variant). I guess, to me, it just misses expectations in a few places. Is that end of the world? Hardly, even OP just said they're salty - they're not going to quit and they're not raging.. but it does just feel a bit "amiss" and surprising (in the non-good way). SE doesn't "owe us" a change, but I do think it would be super cool if they might consider making that level 80 achievement a bit grander and baking the normal Amaro we've already rode into something else that's more in line with how Yol and Magitek Walker felt.

Perhaps they could even make it so all 80 DoW / DoM earns you a grand Amaro (big Seto like, perhaps with a few extra details) and then if you have all DoH and DoL at 80 (on top of all DoW / DoM) then you're rewarded with a colored / further enhanced version.

Anyway, am not mad (not a big deal lol) but it just doesn't sound as expected / normal and while I doubt SE would change it.. I think it would be neat if they did.

The black chocobos were the only domesticated ones that were bred and trained to fly. The company chocobo had to unlock its flight through a quest chain.

I only added the legacy / draught part as a reason why I couldn't remember much about them :P, since it's a breed of bird that I already have a better (imo) bird for. "here's your new black chocobo" me: "but.. I have a huge draught chocobo and a legacy bird... I will remember you hardly dear black chocobo" lol. I remember Yol and Magitek because they're both quite neat, similarly I think Amaro is neat (and unique to my list of owned mounts).

I did know they were the first flying mount (specially trained to fly), but "what we did with them".. no memory lol.

Absolutely unless you know theres like 3 classes that a body absolutely hates.

How? After leveling the second job, you will have used up all the available sidequests for XP, and the only things remaining will be killing monsters by the thousands for XP..
