Tehehe! I really like mine and I love the way my Lalafell sits on it. I understand that the army of Gobbues is pretty silly and some people hate it. I think the Chocobo barding looks pretty cool and we will mostly go back to our Chocobos then and only pull out the silly mounts once and awhile.

And while I am against free handouts and hate how we auto learn spells and such I agree with why the devs made this one easy.

I really wish I had read the what the NPC said more closely but I was trying to hurry to an Ifrit party.

We asked Yoshida about the reasoning behind making the goobbue mount so easy to obtain. Here are a few of his reasons for this decision:

• The mount is only available for a limited time
• Players that only play as Disciples of the Land and Hand were taken into consideration
• While it's easy for veteran players to obtain, we also considered new players that would want to start playing because they can receive a goobbue

Yoshida also mentioned that future mounts won't be so easy to obtain, so prepare yourselves! Another thing to pay attention to is what our friend the Wandering Minstrel actually says about it when you obtain it.

The NPC talks about TWO new areas never talked about and mentions a place called the Void.

Same goes for the darkhold. But perhaps we will get to this void someday.

Honestly the new areas getting mentioned was the most exciting part of talking to this NPC. The idea that there is more out there somewhere makes me happy!

OK, the mount was pretty cool too :p
