Magitek-exclusive content ideas?

[Duuude007]

Inspired by a number of discussions like this.

It would be very difficult to feature mounted battles on every field. Therefore, instead of creating mediocre content for every area, we would like to make these battles special. This will be far ahead in the future, but if we were to implement mounted battles, we would like to make this specialized content. This way we can focus our resources to create the most interesting and optimized content.

The road is very long, so we would greatly appreciate your patience and support. m(._.)m

More wishful thinking than anything...

Now that we have the mount, it would be a waste not to be able to fight in them. Would love to see some actual combat usage out of them down the road. They look quite impressive, and would be a shame if they just end up being another piece of decorative bicycle that people would just swap out for some other new mounts later on.

Yeah, due to the implied extra power these machines would wield, it would be extremely imbalancing if they were capable as a combat tool side by side with unmounted players, lol.

We are creating them so that they can be customized and colored. We are also thinking about implementing content involving playing with both chocobos and magitek.

They are thinking about it, so this is a good opportunity to brainstorm ideas.

That said, one idea someone else had suggested was a dungeon much like the VI Magitek Factory, where top secret bioweapons were being researched (espers).


A way it could maybe work:

The only viable entrance could perhaps be via a large Sewer/chemical outlet pipe, and the acidic compounds it is spewing will eat through anything but adamantium, which happens to be smelted into the steel feet of these mounts.

I would love to hear other ideas people may have in content ONLY Magitek mounted players could access.

Similarly, Chocobo-exclusive mounted content could be in this list of ideas. (like racing, etc)

Any takers?
