I know the devs work hard to give us cool stuff... but this was unfortunately a miss. Coulda been put elsewhere as a reward, but not for the Lynxes. Anyway, cleanse your palate from this abomination of a dragon with some Japanese snacks! Use code " DRAK" to receive $5 off for your first #Sakuraco box through my link:team.sakura.co/Drak or your first #TokyoTreat box through my link: team.tokyotreat.com/Drak
Hard work can produce duds too, saying the mount is shit is not throwing any shade at the devs at large, just the handful of people who decided to make the capstone extreme mount that ugly as sin pile of garbage.
@demored3017 Oh no, the content creator who makes videos for a living also makes money off of sponsorships so he can support his family and his work! Le gasp! You're either a garden-variety hater, or you're a moron. Pick one.
Everyone has their preferences, an winged Regalia would also have been awesome. It gives me similar feelings like the Shadowbringer Collection Mount, they had the oppertunity to give us an awesome, living Dragon, but we got an Mecha instead. At least it was on Brand tho
I like that this Bahamut is based off the spite from FF4 but I can’t get over how silly it looks to have him just carry you in a chair. Truly magnificent.
I will hold firm on this. The super mount for all the lynx's should have been a Couerlregina mount. This was even the expansion when they brought her model back in Elpis! So that could have easily been how we got the mount!
I love the mount. But I love seeing anything lifted from Amano's sketch pages and faithfully recreated in 3D in this game. I know there are people who don't appreciate or otherwise care of the whimsy in that man's art, but as someone older; someone who grew up with the games that things like the MagiTek Reaper, Lunar Whale, and this particular Bahamut are lifted from, it's a dream come true to see them realized in XIV.
Thank you, I couldn't understand the vitriol about this mount before realizing a lot of people who were hating on it didn't know what it was referencing or even know about amano's art really. It's surprising how well they translated his art into the game.
@@psoffxifan4904 I don't think that really changes anything though, because I knew all that and still think it's worse than what should've been the actual mount for collecting all the lynxes.
Can agree. Kamuy of the Nine Tails is the best 'full set mount reward so far (Landerwaffe is a close 2nd being 2 seater) but I still take issue that its called 'of Nine Tails' but only has seven Tails showing
Considering Scribble's cries for help in the text of the video, I feel we should all give them more love for what they do. (And let them play JackBox with everyone like they asked for!)
Congrats on the completed grind and I also share the opinions about the anemic Bahamut but what took me out more than anything, to the point of tearful laughter was the art of Drak holding up Nophica like from the anime. That actually got me so good
i farmed the mounts for hydaelyn, zodiark, and barbariccia. I thought about going back for endsinger mount and said nah i will just wait and see what the final mount is. I am so glad i didnt go back to farming mounts for that stupid looking bahamut. I thought we would get maybe a voltron type mount with them being cats. I mean we even got a power ranger themed summer event this year. It just felt like a missed opportunity.
I personally don't mind it, but the last couple of ritual mounts have had this feeling of "how did we go from these to THIS?" I would’ve loved getting a Great Wyrm last expansion. Landerwaffe is still cool, but I certainly didnt expect a mecha-dragon
After ShB's cyber dragon, I was really hoping for a Voltron-esque mech-cat. Or a winged Coeurl. Or something related to Endwalker, like a giant Starbird. But apparently CBU3 just cannot let FF4 go and gave us this abomination.
Every other trial series theyve somehow managed to do the thing that makes me the most disappointed so i really should've expected that they would take away my giant cat since i wasnt too fussed about the funny turtle not getting a trial this time around. I just want to apologize again to my static members for stealing the golbez mount. I wouldn't've rolled if i had known
Grats on the mount! I feel your pain with the grind, though my loot rolls aren't as bad as yours seem to be. I have all 7 except for Golbez, and I've got totems for that. I'm helping some friends through that fight for them to get the mounts, and when one drops, I'm always sorta tempted to need on it, but then I remember that the faster they get their mounts, the sooner I can be *done* with that fight.
I got my on content final mount was the Mecha Dragon from SHB. I was so mad that this was the final mount as I love OG Bahamut from FFIV but not with the lynxes. We should have gotten like some of the OG Giant Couerls that we see in Elpis or in the Phys DPS job quest in SHB.
I normally have the final ex mount by now but ive been going so slow about it after seeing what awaits me. 😢 It makes no sense to me, going from cat to dragon, and not even a powerful looking one like landerwaffe
Congratulations on finishing all the EXTs! 🎉🎉🎉 Your feelings mirror mine exactly lol. I’m the minority in my group of friends for this mount - I really don’t like it. And I’m usually a big Bahamut fan. More could have been done with it or it could have been a special mount given at the end of the MSQ. I really was hoping for a super galactic car or Coeurlinga. But my friends who really love FFXIV are stoked so happy for them there. :) Also really love your content! Can’t wait to see more ^_^
I was definitely hoping to see something lynx/cat related as the overall mount this expac...but after seeing this, I'm glad I didn't grind hard for the cats. I'll live with my zoid dragon
Good Drak. Goooood. Let the rescue hate flow through you! Sucks that Keaton is the preferred target but she does make for a great squeaky toy. Not speaking from experience on this at all.
The dev team really needs to step up their game with these final EX mounts, because half of them have been really disappointing. The only one I farmed for when it was new was the Kamuy one and man, was I disappointed by that ugly Fenrir with more tails. At this point if the ex mounts of Dawntrail don't look cool enough themselves, I don't think I will farm them until the final mount is revealed and if it doesn't look good either, I will farm them in the expansion after DT.
I know the fatter cat mount is a mogstation but even that would have made more sense as the reward over this and then make this idk an achievement award
@@MyVanir I'm just going to get the ones I want and forgo the ones I don't care for cause unlike past collections...I hate that chair holding dragon prize.
I mean, I kinda love how you sit on the mount (in the mount's claws? Whatever), but...yeaaaah. I mean, maybe if you pretend it's Ridley from Metroid, it's better?
As someone with zero attachment to the sprite the mount is referencing I also don't like it, especially as a reward for doing all the extremes. References are a double edge sword in that their great for people who are attached to the References, but end up as complete misses to those who don't. The mount really should of been obtained a different way. I'm sure many other people besides myself was looking forward to the traditional final mount being a cooler version of the ex mounts in this case a cooler lynx.
Jokes aside @DrakGamestein how does SCH feel to play on controller. I tried it the other day and I felt I had buttons on buttons. I haven't played it seriously since HW arguably but still 😅.
As someone who started playing the FF series with the psx version of FFIV i love its design but as a whole package it looks so bad. The lazy/boring wing animation while flying reminds me of diablos. It should drag you around like the magitek claw or have you riding its hunchback, even sitting on its hand like the Monkey mount would look better than him carrying you in a chair like a butler. Fitting ex trial mount for such a lackluster expansion though.
Honestly... its nice that they made the special mount a remake of an old mount from anoth FF game... but this... ... I dont know how much work got put into it but it looks out-of-place...
Nice to have a group of friends to do the extremes with, I had Party Finder 😢 Mostly cos my friends arent playing much atm... I have all 6 except for Golbez, which i have 100 totems for and finally Zeromus, but PF has been really bad so im just gonna wait until my fc gets back on lol
i saw its reveal and stopped farming 100% agree with the m'lord vibe haha but maaaan like 7 or something space dragon cats couldnt combine to make a shiny small space kitten that sits on your shoulder and lets you fly leaving stars behind?
ARR: Farm horse to get a dragon-horse ( kinda make sense HW: Farm birdies to get a phoenix SB: Farm kamuy to get a nine-tailed kamuy ! ShB: Farm little dragon, to get a mecha ?! (Ehhhh) EW: Farm lynx to get… A dragon holding a chair ?!? WHAT THE &€@*+[+ 😭
I'll just wait for them to become buyable... I have 100 totems for the last two. This doesn't interest me enough to warrant bashing my head against lol.
I'm so glad I got a good one forever ago and have never wanted to do those on content. My Firebird is sweet as hell and that ugly ass FF4 model looking ass dragon looks goofy as fuck
Easily the worst collect-them-all mount. I am a hopeless completionist and I'm thinking of skipping this one, that's how bad it is. I felt happier with the ARR beast tribe "wolf". That anemic, many dog that looks like it hasn't been fed, ever. I never used it again. The robo-dragon was a weird one but at least that was some weird out-there idea, and a two-seater to boot. This is just a randomly picked ugly FFIV reference that doesn't translate.
yea this mount killed my desire to grind EX this expansion. Last expansion the cool mecha dragon was brilliant. Definitely the worst culmination mount.. I'll just wait for moogle events on these.
I love how stupid this mount looks and therefore I love that it's the reward for all the lynxes personally. Being carried around by a derpy Bahamut never gets old.
Honestly just another example of Endwalker slipping again...i hope against all hope dawntrail comes out back on shadowbringers level form but i won't be surprised if endwalker is exactly the mark of the beginning of the end it felt like even in 6.0 and 7.x keeps slipping
I like that its a bahamut mount, and bahamut himself looks great. Why is he carrying a stupid chair? He could just be carrying us, or we could be riding on his shoulder. So many betted options than the chair
Your voice is still important. I don't think we should have negative emotions before giving our opinions. I am glad there are those out there that got something they enjoy. :)

This one should've been the reward for the Gwibers, and for the Lynx, some sort of amazing Coeurl.

Idk, personally think this is the only worthwhile trial mount but guess it's down to preference.
Everyone has their preferences, an winged Regalia would also have been awesome.

Yessss this! Man CouerlRegina would have been an epic mount for this one!
Nice to see Drak has made the full journey from E7 Normals full tilt rage mode to Serial Rescuer.
I feel like that was a personal vendetta, while in ShB Drak was just the most entertaining victim and easiest to snag.
i thought it was his personal goal to traumatise Keaton as much as he was in E1 - E3 i think?
Hard to believe but in a far off land, that gout-riddled dragon is their deity of summoning beasts
"Thanks I hate it." or "Upgrade, F*** go back" comes to mind.
I love the mount. But I love seeing anything lifted from Amano's sketch pages and faithfully recreated in 3D in this game.

It would have made for such a good BLU-mount for clearing Omega and Eden on Savage tbh
Can agree. Kamuy of the Nine Tails is the best 'full set mount reward so far (Landerwaffe is a close 2nd being 2 seater) but I still take issue that its called 'of Nine Tails' but only has seven Tails showing
GOLDEN BIRD IS BEST
Could've just been called Tamamo Gozen, because they share the model... Just sayin
Golden birb and golden pony are my favorites.
It has 9, the 2 eyebrows are tails... technically.
the 2 other tails are ahem tucked away shall we say
Considering Scribble's cries for help in the text of the video, I feel we should all give them more love for what they do. (And let them play JackBox with everyone like they asked for!)
Shimada getting his art featured in a NEST and Friends video, he made it!
Funny that it’s all of Bingle’s dingle, lol. I luv it
Hi lemur ❤️
since it's an acorn, is that a reference to Karlore from Tim and Eric?
@@motomonko1 Hello there ^^
Congrats on the completed grind and I also share the opinions about the anemic Bahamut but what took me out more than anything, to the point of tearful laughter was the art of Drak holding up Nophica like from the anime. That actually got me so good
Me and my FC have started refering to the Bahamut as "The Scoliosis Dragon"¨
Gonna be honest, this fricking FFIV mount make me quit my EX mount runs w/ all 6.0~6.4 for 99 totems already in my bag when they announced it.
"ribbed for your displeasure" yeah. that actually sums up the whole shtick...
i farmed the mounts for hydaelyn, zodiark, and barbariccia. I thought about going back for endsinger mount and said nah i will just wait and see what the final mount is. I am so glad i didnt go back to farming mounts for that stupid looking bahamut.

The Raid mount is a silly lil axolotl, and the omni-mount is a silly bahamut carrying a chair
I love this mount, but yes it should have been a reward elsewhere and a proper unique mount made for the Lynxes
The flight "animation" if you dare to call it that looks so unfinished I thought I was looking at an f2p mmo from 15 years ago..
The squeaky toy rescues brought a smile to my face
I got my on content final mount was the Mecha Dragon from SHB. I was so mad that this was the final mount as I love OG Bahamut from FFIV but not with the lynxes. We should have gotten like some of the OG Giant Couerls that we see in Elpis or in the Phys DPS job quest in SHB.
As someone who is a ffiv whore, i love the ffiv bahamut being a mount. But i will concede it is a strange choice for the lynx's.
Also congrats on getting the mount Drak😂❤
I normally have the final ex mount by now but ive been going so slow about it after seeing what awaits me. 😢
It makes no sense to me, going from cat to dragon, and not even a powerful looking one like landerwaffe
14:25 glam question, what's the glowing gem on Drak's forehead? i don't think I've ever seen it before
9 months late, but it's the nezha lord attire from mogstation

At least it's not as bad as the cruise chaser. Try to fly anywhere and you just get a face full of fire and exhaust.
I looked up bahamut's earliest iteration... oh God he was shrimping but not that badly! XD Congratulations on the mount!
Please tell Dhaos that I absolutely adore him and Tales rules pls.
I'm glad someone else hates the way this mount looks. Absolutely atrocious reward for all the Lynxes.

Calm down Elan Morin Tedronai.

Poor Keaton is the Drak to Corey while Drak has become Corey. He's drunk on the power.
More like Jesse rather than Corey.
Why does the Bahamut mount have scoliosis?

Just going to quickly fangirl over how Iruku's portrait is literally just a FFXIV version of best boy Dhaos.

If its a bunch of cats it needs to be a mega cat. Huge miss and L on this batch of mounts that i stopped chasing.

your wol looks all cool siting on the chair and then you look at the rest of it and its just so baaad;;;

Wow, they did FF4 Bahamut dirty with this.
Personally, I think it's fitting enough, but I know I am most likely in the minority in that regard.
