FFXIV mounts

[Funky]

What's the point of mounts in 2.0 anyway? You have something to sit on while you cue in Content Finder to be teleported to an instance?

Im sure Gatherer & Crafters would like mounts, wheter its chocobo, turtles or trains

Crafters and gatherers already have a mount, having a new mount is pointless unless it flies or goes faster or in some other way breaks game balance. let's break game balance! as for magitek armor, old HNMs and leet mobs for riding around on... ya let's make mounts that outdamage my jobs! if i'm riding behemoth and it doesn't meteor and gets lamed by mob attacks i'm going to drown it like a new born baby girl. EXTREME EXAMPLES!!!

Only pointless here seems to talk to people who complain about a few mounts.

I hope we dont get shit anymore, no MH, no AH, no new gear, no new areas, no new recipes...yes it should stay boring. Development should just stop just so all you whiners could shut the hell up.

Pointless.... just like emotes & bikinis you mean?
Or even easter event rewards?

Dude...i have more use for my cool gobbue mount than
a freakin lv1 ring with stats i have use for 10minutes.

I give up... stupidity has reach a new hights on the forums.

Oh, yes I'm stupid. I was under the obviously mistaken impression that this was about mounts, not things that are actually important. Forgive me.... I was unaware this was about seasonal gear, too! Tutor me, please! Teach me to be like you! /sarcasm

With all this talk of turtles from the Hatching Tide it would be funny if our next mount were turtles.

Yeah well don't bother even wanting more mounts because you can just sit in town and teleport to everywhere you need to go anyways. And consider it an improvement, apparently.

You can already teleport everywhere haven't you noticed? Should we remove Chocobos then and make Anima infinite?

I really don't think a few monster mounts handed off to under 10000 people are going to ruin the games asthetic in the long run. These are creatures of the FF world. It dosn't seem all that strange people would ride the Ezorean equivilant of an elephant or boar.

Wtv would visually make this too different from XI is ruining immersion.

"Definition of immersion in this forum: Make this look like XI HD with better graphics. Immersion is the delusional belief that this XI-2"

anything that will be too much of a far cry from XI is running immersion.

Right idea, different implementation than I'd like. No impassable areas due to lack of a mount (rental or otherwise). You should be able to reach anywhere over time no matter what mount you ride...

However 3 fair(ish) options could be any of the following (In my opinion of course)

A: Certain mounts travel faster on certain terrain and all others travel at rental chocobo speed. Normal choco's get neither an increase or a decrease

B: Certain mounts have accress to shortcuts, ie: a gob could lift a branch out of the way in Grid to cut across the map slightly (no content allowed in these shortcut passes) or a winged mount could glide down a mountain side. No shortcuts from one end of a map to another, just something to shave a few more seconds off than it takes to switch rides.

C: Certain mounts move slower but are resistant to attacks or a chance to scare off level X mobs for a given radius improving your chances of getting to that hard to reach camp or whatever.
