Shouldn't different mounts have different speeds (or other similar attributes)?

[duki]

I'm sure (I hope?) this is on the way, but just in case... it only makes sense that the harder the mount is to acquire, the better it is; not just visually.

E.g.,

• Choco - 1x Speed
• Coeurl - 1.2x Speed
• Magitek - 1.5x Speed
• etc.

yay/nay?

[Zyeriis]

Nay, nay i say. I want to have options. Under this logic, the goobue legacy mount or the ahriman for a 90day sub mount should be fastest, which would hardly be fair.

[Sentinel]

Nay. Then everyone will just use the gigantic magitek armor.

[Tupsi]

Nope - Yoshi wants everything and everyone the same, no positives no negatives.

[Bouteiller]

This game has a teleport system and areas that aren't that large, what you're suggesting is stupid. Keep everything the same speeds. There is no reason to change it.

[Boohiss]

Different mounts are just vanity items, and shouldn't be more than that. Just because I prefer a chocobo over the other mounts doesn't mean I should be hit with a movement penalty.

[duki]

Hm, I'm not sure I understand the reasons for not giving better perks for mounts that are harder to earn? Isn't this this same as saying 'nah, I don't care how hard you worked for that gear it should all be the same except for how it looks'? I feel like it's completely fair to say if you worked for weeks/months to get that mount, then yeah you deserve to have some bonuses.

I'm sure you have all the friends.

That's fair

[KyoKunChan]

No, I don't want to see everyone with the same mount just because its faster.

[zaviermhigo]

No, if i want to use my unicorn over my chocobo, it should be the same speed, its aesthetic. By that logic, the legacy chocobo would be the fastest mount right now, and I'd only ever use that because why would I want to get some place slower?

I think mount speeds are for games that need even more money sinks, or have cash shops, giving people incentive to spend $5 on a mount now that sucks, and later on have to upgrade to a decent mount for $10, etc.

By making them all equal it says "choose aesthetically what you want", I like it that way.
