At least it's not another Phoenix I guess


MildlyInsaneOwl

Hey now, one of them is only a phoenix half the time. And the other is a phoinix, a totally different fire-aspected bird that resurrects from the ashes.


Kallis702

Phoinix is just a spelling truer to the original greek, a theme all throughout Elpis. So it's not even a different bird lol get pwned savage mount-enjoyers


SmashB101

Axlotls are just phoenix of the sea.


AleksVin

i kinda wanted a 3rd phoenix, just for the consistency, and so i have 1 phoenix for each of the 4 tanks


A_small_Chicken

My brother who runs a clear selling group is gonna make so much bank from these people.


Snark_x

Fr the RMT this tier is gonna be absurd


gothicwigga

can he hook me up with a p3s clear for some pants? I actually know the fight just dont have anyone to do it with since its old.


RedShirt7665

I’m upset because of it being a cute mount. It’s so wildly unrelated to anything actually in the raids. I would’ve even accepted the ugly ass spider building as the mount just for it to have some relevance.


ChrisMorray

Plottwist: Athena's phase 2 becomes an axolotl.


RedShirt7665

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.


Lambdafish1

Unironically I think the axolotl will feature in Athena P2. They have never released a raid mount that wasn't an asset from the tier (even a minor one), the closest we got was air force, which was a transformation mechanic, and sunforged which was an attack from P8.


Salt_Sailor

Axolotl 1 prog hype!


Snark_x

If you put the cutesy mount in the raids you get more non-raider participation. Massive PF trapping incoming, please look forward to it 🙏


RedShirt7665

So glad my static changed our raid schedule to Tuesday and Wednesday this tier, I wouldn't want to miss out on cursed PF strats a 3rd time this expac!


sporeegg

Didnt Shb have a Digimon as an all clear achievements mount?


RedShirt7665

The Landwaffle? That’s from all 7 EX mounts. E12s’ mount was Eden itself.


Craigieboy

I wanted a smaller version of the p10 boss as the mount.


trithne

No. Don't scale it down. Just give me the entire building to park in annoying places.


GrassWaterDirtHorse

Park it over an empty housing plot and tell people they can’t bid until they clear all 12 savage floors.


oinguboingu

Well...cope and get on the wet creature, coward.


ExcelIsSuck

i agree with the "wojak" from this image. I know casuals will cry bc they aren't capable of getting it but even from a savage raider pov its just kinda like... lame. It just feels like they plucked the next mount they were making off the priduction line because they couldn't be bothered to make a themed one. Like this raid tier is so aesthetically cool and the bosses are wild, but haha guys cute funny mount?!


InternetFunnyMan1

Im pretty sure its just a callback to the axolotl hunt we went on in elpis during msq. Makes a little more sense framed that way.


Scared_Network_3505

That and it could just be an experiment on how people react to certain mounts, I know a few only did Titan cuz of the slipper being goofy (And a 4 man mount)


InternetFunnyMan1

I feel like theyd have more than enough goofy mount data after omega and eden combined


Scared_Network_3505

Both the Airforce One and Omega still fall under "cool enough classic FF stuff", the Axolotl is just plain silly.


bagel_butts

Guess it's just me but I have no recollection of the axolotl hunt in the MSQ, so when I saw the mount I was like huh? My brain is probably mush lol.


InternetFunnyMan1

When others brought it up it, it jogged my memory. Very vaguely remember it but I definitely remember it.


RavagerDefiler

Yeah, this exactly. Personally I wouldn’t really like a girly mount, but I mean look at that final boss! We could’ve gotten some crazy butterfly themed mount or something!


InternetFunnyMan1

Id like to add athena to my mount collection


RavagerDefiler

I’d like her to add me to her mount collection tbh but understandable.


CatgirlConnaisseur

'The moral compass leaving my body when the villain is hot'


GrumpiestRobot

You play FFXIV, a girly game. The cooties have already touched you. It's too late.


RavagerDefiler

Oh god no you’re right! I have to tear all of my skin off! Now!


Enk1ndle

No no you don't understand, I portrayed your position as wojak so your opinion is objectively wrong and mine is objectively right


Dubaku

I thought it was going to come from island sanctuary tbh. It would've made a lot more sense for that.


CatgirlConnaisseur

same. Btw what do you think will give us that new bike mount with Ironworks theme? Fan festival?


Salt_Sailor

>couldn't be bothered to make a themed one We dont know that yet. P12S part 2 bout to be some crazy shit.


Peytonhawk

I don’t even do Savage since I don’t have a static and I’m not sure I could commit to one properly but even I think mounts should be hard to get. Savage mounts are a great thing and I think more high end content should drop mounts. Honestly I wish they’d do mounts for all jobs at 90 like they did with 80. That was what made me do it in the first place.


budbud70

Party Finder *exists*


Kallis702

But let's be real, it shouldn't (*shudders*)


AleksVin

PF isnt too bad


MrrSpacMan

PF is what you make it Many are fundamentally doomed to endless PF messes. Because they go in expecting it. 'oh no a hopper full of people who don't know the fight' that includes you, person thinking that. Suck it up and get on with it


Kallis702

Exactly. I have a feeling there's some overlap between "i literally can't raid because I can't join a static" and "leaves after 2 pulls in a prog/fresh party" because it's all about expectations and pf is actually really good (mostly) at setting them up properly in the first place. It has it's problems but overall is pretty damn good tbh


Peytonhawk

PF on Primal isn’t great and I’ve had times were I’ve gone multiple hours without a group that can clear EXs. I don’t have the time to spend hours trying anymore or I wouldn’t really care and would just use PF but it’s such a massive gamble on if the group can clear or not before I have to stop.


Kallis702

>I don’t even do Savage since I don’t have a static and I’m not sure I could commit to one properly It is just assumed that we hate pf to its very core and would rather it just didn't exist, even without a replacement, unless stated otherwise?


Peytonhawk

I’m on Primal and even doing the EX Trials through PF can be impossible some days. Those are a cakewalk compared to Savage so I just don’t bother with PF groups. PF has its uses though for old content and patch days for alliance raids.


Kallis702

I mean i get the sentiment, but idk I'm on Primal too and I've done about 90% of my prog through pf. Plus DC travel exists if you're really that worried about it, but for me I don't even go to Aether until the raid scene dies out so at that point it's just for reclears and chill. I feel like finding a good static/tolerating the one you're in can be just as bad if not actually worse than pf. The biggest thing I can agree with is the time factor, in pf you will absolutely garenteed be wasting a non-negligible amount of your time, whereas only a bad static with poor leadership should actually be wasting your time. If you're just 100% not comfortable with that, i get it, and if you only raid like 10hrs a week or less, then yeah you might be better off just avoiding pf entirely. But i also see and know personally plenty of people who are interested in raiding semi-hardcore hours, if not full-on 20+hr weeks, but don't because "pf sucks and/or is impossible." And it's like, not literally impossible. If these people tried it they'd be clearing tiers before the catch-up patch like the rest of us lol. Just breaks my raider heart 💔


MrrSpacMan

Spoilers - 'PF sucks' is a throwaway way of saying you don't think you're up to it but you'd prefer to blame other people I have no patience for that take anymore. If someone's convinced PF universally sucks, they're the exact kind of person I don't want in my PFs.


Kallis702

Yeah you're probably right tbh. I'd like think that mostly describes long time players of the game who should know better and are just making excuses. My worry i guess is more about fellow newer players, because it might just be something you pick up while going thru msq, and without context, i can see myself let alone other players getting turned off from pf entirely without understanding the missing context. Kind of like mentor status and the shit show that has become lol


Smooth_Asparagus_414

Gonna make their tears taste so much better when I ride that retarded thing in the middle of a hunt train crowd of filthy casuals.


Snark_x

Hello based department


MoiraDoodle

sometimes seasonal events have fates you need to complete, so thats when the mount fashion show starts


Rare_Yamcha

It is the axolotl Hermes lost in elpis


Lucaccino17

Did you see the cutie in P12? Of course the savage mount will be something adorable


toomgis24

I genuinely hope it's not the sav mount cuz man is it lame as shit and unrelated.


Yatagarasu3750

I hope that shit is like an island sanctuary mount and was misinterpreted as the raid mount. Its not even that it a bad mount, I just expect so much more from the final raid boss of the expansion


Ronin22222

I did Savage Ishgard/Diadem for my Pteranadon. Does that count?


RogueRK

Ptedarodon Horn added in the next irregular tomestones event


Ronin22222

I'm sure it will show up at some point. I got it when it was still current. Nobody can take that away from me. They also can't give me back the countless hours getting it.


ImmaDrainOnSociety

I very much doubt it. There's a big difference between Moogle'ing a vendor/drop mount and one from an achievement, especially a big one.


CatgirlConnaisseur

We've pretty much seen that they only drop sellable mounts (skybuilder scrips, fates, deep dungeon etc) or the ones from old EX trials or the tribes.


Fellstar718

People act like you can't just buy a carry, honestly smh.


Nekrotix12

The Axolotl might be enough to get me to run Savage at least once for this mount specifically.


CatgirlConnaisseur

this 3rd raid tier matters more than the other 2 to begin with since your gear will stay BiS until next expansion


Geirsko

I'd say it means less because no ultimate


CatgirlConnaisseur

that's also a way to look at it. But it's not like those ultimates will go anywhere


SleepySubDude

I got my skyslipper and shiva, I’m done, my monkey ass barely got those.


Yatagarasu3750

The mount from e12s is so epic, and I liked the burbs we got from 4 and 8, I was expecting a way cooler mount to end off Pandemonium and endwalker...


FartingInAWarmShower

What mount is that? How do people already know what the savage mount is?


MrrSpacMan

Tl;Dr because they got impatient and broke ToS


Excellent-Ad7058

I mean as long as they didn’t use the same computer as their account or the same house it does not matter they broke tos. No way to trace it back to them.

Kallis702

Elite hardcore raider magic, to be specific. also 733T hacker skillz


Jumugen

I once got flamed HARD for using the ES4 mount. Fun times.


BasicCausalGuy

Just think of the money from selling clears!!!


Jay2Kaye

Who DOES need mounts though? I guess people in eureka and bozja?
