Mounts

[Noks]

I believe even though Mount and Companion is different, you can't have a Companion summoned while you are on Mounting. The fact that you can't initiate any combat in Mounting proves that there should be no use of having Companion enabled while in Mounting.

Wait, what? I cannot have a companion enabled while mounting? No combat while mounting? Sounds like some very boring mounting taking place...

are you positive its at 22? thought it was like almost directly after ifrit at 20.

Yes, after Ifrit there's a maybe 1 hours of running around with the main quest until you can join a grand company, maybe a bit more. After that you need 2000 grand company seals to buy the issuance. Collecting those takes about 1 hours

There is no licence you can rant a chocobo as soon as you exit the Initial instance. Iirc

This is incorrect. There is a Chocobo ISSUANCE you obtain from Grand Company (for Seals). Redeeming this grants you a Chocobo Mount that you can also have Primed for battle and make your Companion (Need to use Gyshal Greens to summon it).

After you have redeemed the Issuance, you can call any mount you might previously have owned or do own now.
