I am once again asking

It's enough to make you feel like you're perpetually asking the RNG gods, "I am once again asking... for this mount!" From the fiery birds of Heavensward to the radiant wolves of Stormblood, and now the majestic Gwibers and Lynxes of Shadowbringers and Endwalker, the thrill (and often, the agony) of mount collecting is a core part of the FFXIV experience. That feeling when you're still after that last mount to complete a set? Pure anguish! I remember spending literal weeks running Thordan Ex for my last bird mount, joining party after party, only to see someone else get the drop. It felt like a personal attack from Hydaelyn herself! But then, that glorious moment when it finally dropped? Absolutely priceless. It makes all those hours of grinding, all those 'one more try' calls, totally worth it. What keeps us going through this relentless pursuit? The hope, the community, and maybe a little bit of stubbornness! Many Free Companies have dedicated 'mount farm' nights, sharing the burden and the joy of the grind. Or maybe you're like me, a solo warrior, queuing up for older content unsynced, just hoping for a quick clear before bed. Either way, the journey for that last mount is a shared one, a testament to our dedication as Warriors of Light. It's no wonder these experiences spawn so many amazing #FFXIV memes. We use humor to cope with the endless grind! The "I am once again asking" meme perfectly encapsulates that desperate, persistent hope that just maybe, *this time*, the whistle will drop. It's a shout-out to every player who's poured their heart (and countless hours) into collecting every single one of those coveted companions. What's your white whale mount? I'd love to hear your stories of triumph – or ongoing despair! Beyond mount farming, the FFXIV community has a rich tapestry of memes, from 'sprout' adventures to the woes of housing and crafting. But the mount grind? That's a universal language among veteran players. It's a rite of passage, a badge of honor, and a source of endless relatable content. So, keep asking, Warriors of Light! Your last mount is out there, waiting!
