SpoilerI'm of a similar mind when it comes to the more, erm, prestigious mounts. Then again, when your options are only "bird, other bird, voidsent, HNM, FF5 fanservice and sparkleponies" it's difficult to do anything aside from conforming or standing so far out it looks "unique."
Not that I begrudge anyone for using the other mounts. I just can't bring myself to say "Yep, Warren tamed a lion and now rides that. By the way, there are no other lions in all of Eorzea." My head explodes when confronted with the situation.
Slightly off-topic for off-topic, it burns me that my Legacy Chocobo is supposed to be my 1.0 mount, yet I can't do anything with his barding. My "new" bird is named after my old one yet he's not the old one, and blargh I just want the cool burned feather look on my actual sidekick.
