Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (2)

Mounts are a form of transportation in Final Fantasy XIV, wherein player characters ride atop the backs of, or are otherwise carried or transported by, various creatures, objects, or vehicles. Mounts allow for faster movement through the world and are an integral system for gameplay and rewards.

Mounts can be accessed from the mount guide window, where up to 30 can be set as favorites. All acquired mounts have a description detailing their origin and an additional quote, as well as the cosmetic classification of their movement type as either "terrestrial" or "airborne" and, if applicable, an impression of their tracks. Mounts become available for use once the player completes the My Little Chocobo quest and obtains their company chocobo.

Where to obtain[]

Mounts can be acquired by using each mount's respective mount item, often a whistle, horn, or identification key of some kind. Mount items can be obtained in a variety of manners, often as a reward for achievements, completing a high-end Duty, or simply exchanged with vendors for special items or currencies.

Gameplay[]

Usage[]

Once a mount item is used, the respective mount can be called at any time while the player character is in an area where mounts are allowed through the use mount guide window, or through shortcuts added to a hotbar. Once mounted, a mount can be dismissed by players either unsheathing their weapon, using a mount again, or, in the case of guided, rental, or quest mounts, by using the Dismount action in the pet hotbar.

Players can rent limited time rental chocobos from stables in one of the three main city-states, allowing them to traverse through the world on a mount even before obtaining a personal mount. Players can also hire guided mounts at porters and stables. These mounts require no input from the player, and automatically ferry them from one location to another.

Mount ground speed increases as players progress through the story and acquire riding maps of particular areas through various means, such as purchasing them from certain NPCs for special currency or completing certain quests. Each overworld map has a different mount speed that can be upgraded separately.

Mounts cannot be ridden within city areas or most Duties under normal conditions, only being able to be ridden in certain hub areas such as Idyllshire, the overworld, most Exploratory Missions, and residential districts. Additionally, mounts can be ridden in dungeons when entering them in explorer mode. Certain areas can inflict the Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (3) Hoofing It enfeeblement, which forcibly dismounts player characters and removes their ability call their mounts.

While riding a mount, enemies may still attack the player character if they are aggressive and within their level range, and as such caution must be taken when traversing through enemy laden areas.

PvP[]

During Frontline and Rival Wings duties, players can ride mounts across the battlefield to allow them to reach objectives and fights faster, however being attacked while on a mount will prove detrimental: in Frontline matches, it will inflict the Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (4) Hoofing It enfeeblement, forcing the player character to unmount and remain on foot for the duration of the effect; while in Rival Wings matches it will inflict inflict the Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (5) Limp enfeeblement, causing the player character's movement speed to be drastically reduced, even after dismounting. Moreover, players cannot dismount when inflicted by Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (6) Bind, Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (7) Stun or Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (8) Sleep statuses. These status can be cleansed by using Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (9) Purify when the player is not mounted.

Multi-seater mounts[]

Certain mounts are able to carry two or more player characters at a time. These multi-seaters require all players wishing to mount alongside the owner to be in the same party, then use the context menu option "ride pillion" on the mounted player to ride the mount alongside their party member. Multi-seater mounts function like normal mounts for the owner, with players riding pillion having no control over the mount's movements.

Multi-seater mounts are few, and their acquisition requirements are often prohibitive, such as the participating in the limited time Final Fantasy XV crossover event, completing the high-end duty Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (10) Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage), or purchasing them from the Mogstation.

Mount actions[]

Mounts can have mount actions, placed automatically in pet hotbars, which function as cosmetic animations when triggered by the player during regular play. When used in certain duties and quests, mount actions can have further gameplay functions, such as dealing damage to enemies or interacting with the environment.

Flight[]

Flying mounts were introduced in Heavensward (patch 3.0), allowing traversal through the air once flight is unlocked in a given area, often by attuning to all aether currents in a map. Flight can only be accomplished within the overworld and certain Gathering Forays and is always faster than even the fastest ground riding speed. Flying mounts are distinguished by a wing icon in their mount guide description, compared to grounded mounts' chocobo symbol. As no non-flying mounts remain in the game, all of them having been converted to flying via game updates, this distinction is merely vestigial.

Unlike other overworld areas, flight in areas introduced in A Realm Reborn (patch 2.0) simply becomes available in once the quest Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (11) The Ultimate Weapon is completed.

Flying mounts can be ridden while swimming, introduced in Stormblood (patch 4.0), allowing mounts to act the same as flying while underwater. Swimming does not require attuning to aether currents and can be done at any point after the player attains the ability to swim.

Musical themes[]

When ridden, mounts play a musical theme, overriding the zone theme by default, though this can be adjusted in the options. Each mount can have its own unique theme, though many mounts share the same base riding themes. Mounts originally introduced in A Realm Reborn and it's patches play "The Rider's Boon", flying mounts and those introduced from Heavensward on play "Borderless", while mounts introduced from Endwalker (patch 6.0) on play "Roads Less Traveled".

Behind the scenes[]

Mounts were not available initially in the original version of Final Fantasy XIV, being added in patch 1.19 with the introduction of chocobos, and later expanded with the addition of the goobbue mount in 1.23.

Early on in the game's life, the amount of time it took to dismount varied from mount to mount, but this timer was standardized after fan complaints. From the initial implementation of mounts, through the relaunch of A Realm Reborn, until patch 4.2 (Rise of a New Sun), players would receive the Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (12) Heavy enfeeblement when hit from behind while mounted, lowering the character's speed.

Upon flying mounts' initial release, among the non-flying mounts, only the company chocobo mount could earn the ability to fly through the Mount (Final Fantasy XIV) (13) I Believe I Can Fly quest.

Following the release of Heavensward, grounded mounts were periodically adjusted via content patches to allow them to fly, until, with the eventual the release of Shadowbringers (Patch 5.0), all mounts were given the ability to fly. Flight in A Realm Reborn areas was implemented in patch 5.3 (Reflections in Crystal), and the company chocobo mount was given the ability to fly by default, and the quest to unlock it being removed.

Previously, rental mounts would abandon a player character if attacked by enemies.

Before a rework late during Endwalker patches , being attacked in Frontline matches while mounted would cause the same type of enfeeblements as Rival Wings.
