Patch 1.20 Dat Stuff

I think the Goobbue mount is way off, it's supposed to be a gift for sticking through the 1.xx~2.0 transition catastrophe and whatnot.

And if you don't understand the finer points of the Japanese language:

Q: Do you have any plans to give a special item to players who continue to pay the subscription from now until 2.0?

A: First, you'll be able to enjoy and participate in the Seventh Umbral Era event. There'll be achievements related to that which won't be available later. There'll be achievement rewards, battles with the Garlean Empire, and other items that will be exclusive to that period.

On top of that, since we introduced the mount system in 1.19, we're looking at whether we could gift players with special mounts. The development team is performing a bunch of tests for various mounts. Among them, however, we're thinking about giving away a goobbue as a special mount for those who play the current version. He won't available later, so don't miss it.
* Work-in-progress videos of the mounts are shown at 33:50.

So it's an option but not a finalized set-in-stone reward (but c'mon man)[1]
