InFinal Fantasy 14, mounts are more than a faster way for players to get around. They are a status symbol and they have tons of personality in their designs and movements. They range from animals to machines to even combinations of the two.
Mounts are unlocked once a player completes thelevel 20 main story quest, “A Hero in the Making,“andjoins a Grand Company. Thencomplete the quest “My Little Chocobo"which is given by an NPC near the chosen Grand Company Building.
