I don't know if it's still the case but you didn't used to be able to summon another mount if you had the combat guy out. I never out another mount on my hot bars even though I have tons of them due to that.
It also shocks me that people are calling an 8 person mount pay to win but..

When you summon your mount now it pauses your companion until you unmount in a zone you can fight shit in.

Yeah a long while ago it was like that, I think they fixed it back in Stormblood or so when they also changed how chocobos worked in parties and stuff. I had a macro back then for like whatever mount and then chocobo in case I had it out, but nowadays it's not useful, I just use the mount roulette with my few favorite mounts. Think I have like 20-25mounts(not counting the palette swaps) but only use like 3 or 4 usually.

I think all these p2w conversations started because of New World's cash shop announcements, tbh. Ive never considered anything in FFXIV's cash shop to worth af and an 8 person mount isnt going to change that perception. I hauled around my g/f on the 2 person chocobo to help her get flying, and that was the only time I even cared about a multi-person mount. The Whale doesnt bother me so much, but the car is fucking annoying cause it just feels so f'n out of place. If anything, I openly encourage people to pay for the skip on old world content. The game just doesnt have much going for it in that era. Now if they started advertising penta melded tradeskill gear in the cash shop - then ya, thats p2w. But an 8 person mount? gtfo

The ARR story is central to the plot of the entire game, though. Skipping that would be like skipping the first season of a show, then the final seasons make all sorts of call backs and you missed the context.
It’s tedious at parts, but vastly improved by 2.4 (the whole crystal brave thing coming to a head)

Ya. I know they shortened it at the beginning of SL's. I havent leveled a new character, or replayed any of it - so you may have a point. But I wanted to throw in the towel multiple times in that era when I did it. HW picked up steam tremendously and everything else was smooth sailing and interesting.

I do agree. JesseCox had shit on the game for years, then finally slogged through ARR and the game’s story had him by the end of that and now he is the games biggest cheerleader
it is rough because the pacing feels off and there is a lot of fluff to be sure. They did trim a lot of post ARR stuff, but they are limited unless they re-record all the original spoken dialogue (since they had different VA in ARR)

I had a buddy recently run through ARR, he said 2.1 to 2.4 is still a bit of a slog until it picks up with teh true Pre-HW content. One thing they did add recently was the "teleport to Waking sands" tickets. that has to take a bit of annoying running out of ARR lmao

Well fuck me... I saw the name mentioned but did not connect it to Berserk. Waited half my life for each chapter it feels like.

Nothing irks me more than this fucking character. It makes me not enjoy the story of the game at all.
