FFXIV mounts

[bobbygunz]

Most pple here are XI vets, they want to stick to what they know. Millions of players from other mmos are enjoying their choices of mounts and this is yet another thing that may bring them into XIV. To be honest, the opinions in these forums is very biased and we are already here and paying so it's not us S-E is trying to convince, it's the ones who are not paying for the game yet.

Mounts are not what this game needs to attract the masses. How many silly monster mounts does TERA or GW2 or Blade and Soul have?

People will see the Ahriman mount and Gobbue and think "typical crazy asian MMO, no thanks."

If SE was serious about attracting masses, they probably would have done something about the combat system and the general lack of innovation

I like additional mounts, I don't understand why people are so against it. More stuff in general = good. Although I would like them to add traits to the mounts.

Lets say your movement speed is at 100%

With chocobo it would be 200%
With gobbue it would be 80% but you dont get mob aggro. I mean who would aggro a gobbue.
With ahriman it would be 140% but you can fly over rocks and not get stopped by general landscape.
With drake it could also be 140% but you can breath fire and be able to insta kill low level mobs (ie farming mount)

You guys see where I'm going with this?

This is a game people let's have some fun with this no?

Only thing I agree with is goobuus

Everything else nononononononononononononononononononononononononono!

What weapon is better than ifrits harpoon?

Knowing SE's current pattern, perhaps the AF weapons >_>

What weapon is better than ifrits harpoon?

I think you are suppose to answer that, you said their the best not me...

Do i look like i know everything?
Besides, it seem your mind is very much set on that All classes
have & can equip Ifrits harpoon.... you missing the point.

Just like the gobbue mount, ppl starting in 2.0 cant get that mount...
it will then become rare / unique in a way.

Thats what most mmo's are about, have something special.
So either way some of us couldnt care less if you dont have it becasue you dont want or like it.

Like i said before, if you dont like it...the option is there for you & me not to use / get it.
No your reason is...WE dont need more bla bla because you can still see it..... lame...
Close your eyes then, find a game more to your liking then.

im sure there something you like & that i dont, feel free to share so
i can either say no... and we will have tis conversation again....why?
Because we are diffrent.... That's life.

And thank god for change & diffrences...
Just imagine the worl with no females...

"Um how is this any diffrent from Ifrit & moogle weapons?
They look cool but are they all better than the other weapons
you can craft, buy on Wards or Find in dungeons?"

LOL you are suppose to tell me because I don't know whats better than an ifrits harpoon
So I'm waiting dude

I HATE THAT MIND SET "dont use em"

I still see em dude, it still effects the game/community!

NO, i'm not going to hate on it because it's not some stupid mob. It's tech!

So following your logic, we should penalize everyone who wants the other mounts like the magitek armor just because YOU don't want to see it? Wow talk about selfishness..... glad Yoshi-P has the right vision on this.

[Onidemon]

Exactly. And with chocobo breeding, all these mounts will just be lesser mounts compared with chocobos, so it's basically wasted resources.

Every game with multiple mounts has lesser and better mounts. Ones that are easy to get but slower and some faster and more rare. Some are rare just for the visual. All the other mmos proved that these are popular, so S-E decided to follow the trend. It's not because we got chocobo breeding that the other mounts will all suck compared to it.

I chose my mount depending on what it looks like, Chocobos are nice but if rather ride a dragon with my dragoon then ill go for that. Plus i don't see a Chocobo flying, it will just look awkward.

Welcome to life?

Why put something on the game when nobody uses it.

It's not because you don't use it that nobody will and don't use the Gobbue as an example cuz it's just plain ugly. I'm sure if we had dragons a lot of pple will be using them.

You changed your text before i was done with my reply.

You cant just use Ifrit harpoon as your major exmple.

WHM / Cnj cant use that shit, and yet you still hold firm to that Ifrits cnj
weapon is better than any high level crafted Staff that can have materia attached to it?

- this is an example since your mind is set on All ifrit weapons is
better than the ones we can craft ourself.

If so your a fool...

Final Example, if i had an ifrit weapon on my main i wouldnt
use it since i got an "Ivory Staff +1" with 3x materia attached to it...
and you know what...its hell of a more potent than any other Thm weapon i know of.

Same goes for my BLM Af gloves, useless compared to my materia equiped Boarskin Ringbands.

Nobody will think that. Most people are familiar with the FF universe.
