I had a ton of fun judging my first ever mount competition in FFXIV! I can’t wait to start earning some of these mounts myself!

Collecting mounts is one of the MMO goals of all time!
Can't beat the Shadowbringers mount that unlocks from collecting all the Gwibers.
most exclusive freebie mounts, glams and emotes will be posted after a certain amt of time to the SE store
I don't think I could pick a favourite mount to show off, there's too many that I love
Ramuh is also my favorite mount. Ozma is a close second for me too because it’s awesome and I love eureka. I mainly ride Ramuh now a days though
One of my favorite mounts is the Gloria airship. It's an achievement reward for playing a certain number of PVP matches, and when Crystalline Conflict first came out I was so into it I got the mount in a week or so.
I like it because you look very imposing riding on it.
What really gets me is that it went for the better part of an hour and my favorite still wasn't present. That's how many great mounts there are.
My fave is the Mikoshi, which is basically an olden-times Japan version of a parade float. The FFXIV Mikoshi is being carried by a team of tiny catfish people in Japanese festival garb, and it has a special animation where you and they toss a bunch of little fireworks and confetti.
The dark lanner (purple 'eagle') is my favourite, but there are so many cools mounts to go for.
Surprised no one came out with the flying shark from the ocean fishing achievement…
I like Ozma, its my favorite mount. Fun fact: There is another shape Ozma can turn into, but I am not going to tell you when it would do that; Ozma is also one of the few mounts in the game that has this kind of transformation as well, so it's a pretty unique thing.
My mount is the best mount o/
I helped my sister get that Triple Triad mount. Helped her finish the Masked Carnival- I was shaking! A fun mount for her to get 😂🎉
Worth noting on the "moral greyness" of the beast tribes. Most of the tribes are actually like the sylphs you dealt with in the story, willing but warry to deal with the city states, after 20 years of hostile racism, and a few hundred of some basic racism. This isn't a spoiler, just a tidbit from the lore books, but the term "beastman" is monetarist propaganda and rather new in Eorzea, which is why you see members of best tribes hanging around limsa, they are just welcome there. Each tribe have their specific grievances, but the ones summoning primals are basically extremists pushed past their breaking point, and resorting to random acts of terror that just so happen to be addictive.
Wow these competition was pretty……underwhelming. Dont get me wrong all of them are Cool but most of them are not really rare to be proud of in my Opinion. The PVP Mounts were pretty cool though but aside of that i also have all of them. Ive expected some really rare Mounts like the Pteranodon or the Hunt Mounts which is a Grind for years. Or even the Legacy Chocobo/Gobbue.
As a dwarf my favorite mount is the new 10th anniversary store bike. Hate that its a store bike but i love how my Dwarf looks trying to ride it!
So if i was there i would either get in my tank or dress up as florida man and get on my Aligator
EDIT: no wait my IS motor cycle because im a biker Dwarf looking for a Biker Gang to join
psybear, really really really really really really have noooooo idea how rare some of those mounts are. he has some ultra hardcore and long time players at that gathering.
I would mount up on my Legacy chocobo and goobbue 😉
So as a general idea there's 3 beast tribe rep to farm per expac + 5 in ARR and they all grant a mount as high rep. Furthermore, they have a special action (like the tank shooting, the jelly fish electric animation, the elephant's big stomp, the mikoshi's cheering, and so on) as those mounts are used in some of the daily quests to perform that action on specific targets (a NPC will allow you to mount the mount for the quest to go perform it, so you don't need to have it yet to do these, and that's usually the first time you mount on those respective mounts).
So if you like mounts with special actions, know that there's a good amount of them coming from the various beast tribes quests.
rave slipper definitely a favourite
They should release a mount with a built in orchestrion car radio so we can play whatever music we want while riding around
I have a really funny story with me getting the ixion mount. I got it by getting 3 lines with wonderous tales and didnt know you could get the mount easily from the fate and i didnt like the midnignt mount even knowing i could sell the mount for 5mill+ 😅😅😅
I would have to be the guy who shows up with my Legacy goobue and just say, its an oldie but a goodie
