The Amaro mount...

[Shougun]

Yeah, let's have this mount who has an obvious story impact be locked behind an arbitrary grind instead.

Honestly if it wasn't for the fact that I read this thread I would be under the strong impression that:

Minor but cute side plot Spoiler Warning, if you finished the pixie area you know or skipped it

That we would get Seto as MSQ reward, since the whole warrior of darkness (Ardbert) connection. Our bond with Arbert connecting us to Seto, and him in a sense coming full circle (maybe even cutscene of Arbert patting Seto on the shoulder as we fly off). Also they kept talking about how much they love them hooomans, so I was like "eeeh eeeh I'm hooman, I know your master, let's gooooo!". But no, I guess not lol.

Then that's kind of the problem with why you don't understand how an Amaro might be unique and special reward. Complete Il Mheg and it will be better explained. I'm hoping they've done something unique with the reward we get using the information from there, personally. Granted, I only have 3 of my classes to 80 so far... so I have a ways to go yet.

Going by the primal mounts I doubt they'll be anything more than a skin and music over generic mount. They mighy get an action like the goobue sneeze or the magitek cannon/photon stream, but other than that I don't see them offering anything special.

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

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

i think the pattern with Square is if they let you test ride a mount (which they did in one of the quests) it will eventually be an available mount.

I was about to suggest this.. There needs to be a way to at least test ride the store mounts, to see if you like the way they fit your character, whether they cause any issues. (I returned a WoW store mount because it was huge, bright, constantly flapping, and nausea-inducing)
Ideally, ALL mounts should be testable, either for maybe 5 minutes on a weekly allowance, or at any time in an instanced environment.

i like this idea. the carbuncle looks ridiculous on anything that isnt a Lala. I shouldve asked other people with tall characters first but I didnt.

Wait a few days after any mount goes up on the Mog Station, you should see plenty of people riding it to give you an idea.

Generic amaro, not cool.

Only thing I can't understand: what is, for the Twelve's sake, is not generic Amaro? They all look the same in the game except their size, so how in the world should look our Amaro to not be so? And why it should look different, if this is a lore-based mount? Make him talk? And how should it work? /rises eyebrow/

The point is that a 'generic Amaro' is the MSQ mount, it's what we're riding in the story, and it's tied to some major characters.

It's like the Magitek Reaper, the Manacutter, Midgardsormr, or the Yol... noticing a pattern?

I don't know what a 'non generic Amaro' would look like for the 'all jobs to 80' achievement, but it doesn't need to be an Amaro at all.
Maybe it could be Fae Bismarck or Pixie wings or something Ronkan or Amaurotian, and have the Amaro mount be obtained after completing all four role quests to level 80.

Has anyone gotten world first Amaro mount yet? Wanted to see what it looked like.

also other weird thing is that level 80 dark knight class quest should have given you the level 80 skill but no, you just learn it automatically when you reach level 80 (maybe other classes have similiar quests which clearly should teach you the last skill too).
