Mount Requests

[Fengying]

Not sure if anyone already made a thread or if this is the right place to post. Please excuse if this isn't the place to post this. Does anyone else have mounts that would like to see added?

Dear Square Enix ffxiv dev team,

Please please please add Drowsie from DT lvl 91 Dungeon, as a mount! 人´∀｀)
Look at this good fluffy huggable sleepy fellow, how can you not love it? It would be great if they did the belly dance emote as well since it's already in your asset.



Many thanks

If we are throwing requests, the Air Unit from the Nier raids, including transforming into "plane" mode while on flight, it can be next MGP sink mount, since Mama was randomly thrown in there during EW.

How about a merfolk mount? Kinda like the wings mount from the trail series. But we have a fish like tail, resembling a mermaid/merman.

- Umbrella mounts to match the Umbrella weapons from RDM, SAM and BLU;

- Regular wings to match the fashion accessory ones. Not like the Trial wings that unfold into megazords while we're flying;

- Job-themed mounts. Good material for job achievements, like Deep Dungeon solo runs. Ideas:
SCH would get the fairy carrying them, like Spectral Statice but with Eos instead;
SMN would ride Garuda;
PCT is a flying version of Smudge;
AST you levitate with celestial bodies around you, similar to the Neutral Sect animation;
NIN rides the Hellfrog medium;
RPR rides on the voidsent's shoulder;
MCH rides a turret (like how we hold the Nier pods)
BLM rides one of their staves like a witch's broom
WHM pops a pair of aetherial wings, similar to the Temperance animation
etc... (ran out of ideas lol)

That airship sailed a decade ago I'm afraid - it's clear SE has long abandoned their original idea of 'class mounts' with the only one ever implemented in the form of CNJ's Unicorn, where that was just used as a carrott to attract new players to start the game as CNJ (as in, a healer) when the game was still new and there wasn't a lot of healers around for duties (this is why you specifically have to be only CNJ and not have your WHM Soul Crystal equipped in order to unlock the quest and complete it).

Of course that is long since irrelevant, but it still remains as it was at ARR's launch. Either way the other planned 'class mounts' were never implemented, and I'm pretty certain SE has no intention of doing any others now (there is the tank Job achievement mounts though so that is kind of similar in a way).

As for what mounts I'd like to see in the game, I'd love to see the Garlean Novus D car added (yes, we already have cars in the form of the FFXV Regalia and that weird six wheeler from the DT raids, but like dragon mounts, you can never have 'too' many ). Maybe have it as a special prototype that was amphibious and could fly that was never put into mass production before the Empire's collapse and the capital's destruction.

Curious how we would earn these, as all tank jobs have a series of unique mounts, and the Unicorn mount is already associated with WHM, as you get it from hitting level 30 on the Conjurer class.
I genuinely like the idea, though! And I love every suggestion. I just wonder how they would add it. Maybe keep the CNJ/WHM Unicorn and unlocking a job gives a job themed mount?

Just job unlock is probably too easy. Such special mounts could require some hard/grindy job-based achievement. Which means CNJ/WHM would get something beyond the Unicorn... Also probably warranted since that mount doesn't really scream WHM anyway, it looks good, but feels a bit generic.
