New Primal Mounts confirmed for 3.2
From an FFXIV JP developer’s blog post:
“Hello!
This is Project Manager M here.
Have you all been fighting the Extreme Primals?
Patch 3.2 will add mounts as rewards for the Extreme Primal fights introduced in Heavensward.
This time the mounts will be birds!
Additionally, there will also be mounts for Thordan and Sephirot.
Hmm? Of course, it is decided based on who wins the roll!
I didn’t finish collecting all the horses but…
If all the different kinds of bird mounts are collected, do you think something good will happen again…?
Patch 3.2 is set to be released next week on the 23rd of February (Tuesday).
Try your best to win your NEED rolls, everybody!
Project Manager M”
