Request: Ho 229 Flight Unit Mount from Nier Automata

[ZedZeta]

I couldn't see any thread that listed the idea or maybe I'm just blind or the search isn't working right. Sorry if someone already suggested it.

It's something I've been personally wishing to be added to the game; the Ho229 YoRHa flight unit from Nier Automata and even fought against in the Nier Raids. Being as the models are already in game I'm sure the models can be repurposed like the pods were for a mount.

I could see both the white Squad Leader / Captain color and off-black soldier color of the models be available. Just like the Gabriel a mount we have the change from flight mode (air) and mobile configuration (ground).

Some people might worry about the sizing but i think it's easily resolved by having the mounts at the same scale and the player characters scaled relatively mounted inside (similar to the level checker mount or i guess any mounts that are the same size to each other regardless of race your character is).

Music: War & War or *Alien Manifestation (*preferred as this song plays the first time we see the Ho229)

I'd see maybe the mount action being a spin dodge mid-flight and maybe a light speed blade attack or spin on the ground.

I'd love to see this mount(s) come to the game in any way. First and most easily would be via the cash shop; though admittingly I'd be personally disappointed as I like to work for my things as an achievement.

My preferred method for the mounts coming to the game is via an achievement; complete any Nier raid 100 times for the black soldier Ho229 and each 100 times for the white squad leader / captain Ho229. I love running these raids for fun personally and would like a new reason to run these other than running / guiding FC members through. I understand this is a daunting idea for some but I'd like something as cool as this mount to be earned.

The best method I could see for generally everyone is to add both color options to the gold saucer at either both being 2mill+ each or the black version at 2mill MGP and the white at 3mill+ (probably both the same cost).

I'm just curious what everyone thinks about this. I know we all like new stuff and more content and I hope I've explained my thoughts well

Heartily agreed! (Though I think 100 clears might be a bit much.) Heck, the Gabriel mounts that are already in the game use a similar animation pattern. I've wanted this ever since the Nier raids were first released.

I honestly just thought 100 would be on par with the frontlines / pvp mounts and the amount of time it takes to get other really cool mounts. It's so special I think you should want to earn it but thats just my opinion. Though honestly I use the pod more than anything so even if its cash shop i wouldn't care; I just want it XD.
