New Mounts

[RandomCasual]

With the ten year anniversary on the way of this incredible game I can't help but wonder why there isn't some "big" celebration event. Specifically, I would like to formally request that if its not too much work- can we get a Bahamut mount, Garuda mount, Titan mount and Ifirit mount? After all Bahamut is linked to the lore from the 1.0 transition to the 2.0 ARR and Garuda/Ifirit/Titan set us on this 10 year journey as being the original trials, along with Ultima Weapon.

Bahamut Mount: He'll look like his final coils turn, and the soundtrack played would be that same fight soundtrack. How your character would ride him, you'd just kind of hug his back and look over one of his shoulders and pray he doesn't drop you off- a special animation you could press using the pet action bar is Megaflare. The music that would play is Bahamut final phase- as a good homage to Endwalkers story.

Garuda Mount: Garuda being the smallest of the three primals instead would just manipulate the air around you to lift the character into the air while walking/flying. Her special emote could be her animation of her transition with the scream (just no scream).

Titan Mount: Titan being the biggest of the primals in this case, outside of Bahamut Prime he would just pick you up and toss you on his shoulder, and how titan would fly he'd materialize rocks out of thin air as if he was creating stepping stones- his special animation could be his transition earthen fury explosion.

Ifirit Mount: Literally your character just stands kind of on his back as he grew nails out and you hold on to both of them as he runs on all fours. As for his flying animation he'd just basically use fire as a booster. His special animation would be his explosion he does during his fight.

I know this probably won't be seen by too many people, but I wouldn't mind if these mounts are either mogstation or earnable by a special in-game quest and then become mogstation items after the quest period ends.

YoRHa Flight Units are fully animated in-game, with full models and textures, and still they didn't give us those as mounts. I'm hoping they do it when Nier anniversary comes in, or as a collab marketing event for the Nier Automata anime that was recently announced.

How about... Shinryu mount!
No? Fine....
But yeah, I have been thinking for some time now about a Bahamut-like mount.

I'm still waiting for an Ultima Weapon mount.

Or just give us the G-Warrior.

We still don't have the Elbst mount from Moonfire Faire! (2014 event?) That one shoots water cannon at that event...

We need a brachiosaur mount to complete our dinosaur collection...though considering how showy it is and how rough getting the previous two dinos was, I'd be a little afraid of what they demand for that one.

This was discussed in a ffxiv stream that involved Yokotaro and a few other developers of Nier:Automata. There are a lot of issues with how to adapt the models to fit all the different races in the game, since the characters are inside the flight units. Adapting this to accommodate everything from a max size roe/hrothgar to a min size lalafall is a challenge without distorting the shape of the mount, as well as it being a large amount of work. There's a reason why most mounts in the game has the player characters "on top" of the mounts, so that the mount can simply be scaled in size in all directions and the player characters will still fit nicely.

There was however talks about a pod mount, for which all the necessary animations for all races already exist, so we might see that sooner rather than later.
