FFXIV mounts

[Anathiel]

I don't get why people are complaining...not that big of a deal. if you see a goobbue run past you is that breaking your immersion into the game anymore than being in a city and seeing someone shout, "DUDE I JUST RIPPED THIS BONG SO HARD, LOLZ FREAKING NOOBS!"? I mean, what did you do the first time you saw another mount other than a chocobo, drake, wyvern, alien spacecraft, pirate ship...you freaked out because it was a goobbue? Did you immediately turn off your computer go over to your final fantasy collection and burn it all? were you ACTUALLY betrayed? smh. (first time I've ever used that :X)

I like variety, what's wrong with that? Some mobs are a little out there, but some aren't that far. Like drakes or wyverns would be cool... still kind of meh about eyes being mounts since they fly so spazzy lol

You have to think of FFXIV's image though, and consider the mount in context of the whole rather than simply by itself in isolation. And you have to do this so that it doesnt compromise the art-direction of the entire game. I mean, you could say, for example, that Limsa Lominsa should have giant eye mobs and dragons swimming in the water and behemoths running amok and pikachu just there for no reason, and bulbosaur too, well, you know, because that would add "variety". Right? But eventually it just becomes stupid. And that's the issue people have with all these dumb mounts.

Thing is, I never said anything about Pokemon mounts. I was talking about in game mobs, ya know, like I stated in my post? But since you couldn't read that.

And just because you don't like it, doesn't make it stupid or become stupid. Yes 100 mounts would be somewhat unnecessary but adding around 10 different ones, I don't see how that would be stupid. They could stay in the realistic boundaries and lore about mounts, and not make crazy ones. I mean they did have a goobbue in the beginning cutscene of Ul'dah that was soemwhat "tamed".

MH, AH, new areas, new content. Things that aren't aesthetics, but fundamentals of a good game. When the game works you can complain about how your mounts aren't cool enough, but you're adorable when you're acting retarded.

You mean like housing, completly pointless since we already have inns?

Ignoring my question wont win you the argument.

Im the one acting retarded?

Mybe i should suggest Mounts with wings instead just like wow and
i could hover around your head all day on Ragnarok. (wich is the server my main is on btw)

Fundamentals of a good game is fun & that attracts a player base.
Not selfish bullshit.

lol... it seems mount-haters here dont like options.
So what you're saying is FFXIV would be better off with 1x race, 1x gender, 1x class, 1x mount, 1x color, 1x spell, 1x dungeon.... very logic... (now this is bs if anything)
Wow...just freakin wow... (and i dont mean world of freakin warcraft)

how about different colored chocobo?

how about different colored chocobo?

is cool with me.

Should be fun / rare to get maybe...just make it abit challenging.

But...you prolly get flamed for that... some moron going...
"We dont need more coloring crap".

[LazyBarakat]

i don't see any problem having new mounts, yes chocobo is enough but few more mounts will not hurt anyone.

BUT it it would be stupid if we can ride some bad ass mobs and get our ass kicked by normal mobs, imagine you are riding drake on your lvl 1 class and you get attacked by low lvl mob and your drake run away, that will be silly.

they can adjust that by making mounts other than chocobo more unique, for example: we cannot ride drake unless our current class is lvl 50, while riding drake none from the amaljah will aggro, let it take more damage than chocobo before he run away, or anything like that.

yes it will be pointless to have other mounts and they are all the same as chocobo and the only difference is the appearance, but still if they add more i will not complain because it will not hurt me, goobue will not break your gears if there is one around you >.>

I wouldn't mind actually having horses! I know it's a bit predictable but I like the idea of being kitted out in my shiny armour atop a gallant armoured warhorse! Don't get me wrong I love chocobos and mine with the barding looks awesome but having a mighty steed to ride customise and breed would be awesome
