FFXIV mounts

[KaplanHomahru]

There are other threads for the legitimacy of the "Multiple Mounts" system they've designed (and have already begun to implement)....THIS thread is for suggestions for possible additions. If you're the type of person who feels that this game should only have one kind of mount, I think you need to go to one of those types of threads.

Back on topic, I really hadn't thought about other ones, but that picture from Princess Mononoke really made me want a stag mount :O

I don't think that mobs which exist exclusively or nearly exclusively as NMs (Behemoth) should be obtainable as mounts, though.

Edit: I also like the idea of some mounts being original designs. Like Unicorns...I think they are used in some crest so they might be added to the game. They would be a good candidate for mount-only I think. Since, you know, you normally shouldn't be killing unicorns.

For all of the people that came from other MMOs and like their mount system, go back and play that other MMO (see what I did there?).

In all seriousness though, its not visually appealing and makes FFXIV look silly, I'm not for it. Chocobo only

im 50/50 on this topic.
i would rather see choco only cos its just how all other ff's were.
but wouldnt mind other mounts, but kinda do.
guess im mixed on the idea.

I think others have stated earlier (or myself lol) all the other FF's had tons of different "mounts" or means of travel. I'd like to see the dev team add new stuff...That's what all the old FF's were about, NEW stuff..not reused old content over and over. Yeah it is nice though to have a few old familiar things but new stuff is nice as well!

Personally I want fantasy stuff like a unicorn with wings..lol :X Or maybe can you put the horse like Lightning has in FF13? That would be so cool! Lots and lots of different and NEW stuff ^_^

What babydoll said, thou...my Unicorn had to be black,
stolen from "Lich Kings" personal mount collection ofc.
why? cuz Funky needs a funky mount.

- Still thinks his "Go Go Gadget Goobbue" mounts is worth more than Gaths Goobbue mount.

I wouldn't mind Magitek armor, especially if it can used for more than just travel.

I'm for the idea of original mounts I think. Like the Magitek armor (original to FF). I don't really like converting mobs to mounts but that's my personal opinion. Seems to take away from the mobs when I just look at it thinking "I've rode your kind before". I did use the goobbue and liked it but since I got my chocobo I haven't used it again. Breeding, barding, customization to the chocobos, I am all for it (just don't make it lame)!

I think people forget that the staples of the series (chocobos, Cid, moogles, etc) weren't always with us. I'm glad SE is looking for new ways to do things. It keeps the series fresh. I'm glad they didn't say "What? A black, flying chocobo? Chocobos are yellow and ground based only!"

But in that same spirit, I say again that I'd rather not see monster mounts, but rather see all new original beasts that we can ride. Let's create a whole new series staple!

I don't mind non-Chocobo mounts, but first give us different colored Chocobos. That said, don't give us any mounts that are already something in the game. No Eye mounts. No Drake mounts. No Giant Toad mounts. Give us unique things, like the forthcoming Magitek. The wyverns from FFII/FFV. Hell give us a mini-Flammie from SoM. Just no mounts that are just enemies in the game please.

No one wants to ride around on ifrit?
