Exploring the universe of Square Enix’s popular MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV is no easy task. From the vast fields of Eorzea, the mountains of Orthard, and worlds beyond the stars, Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of ground to cover. As a result, it can be an arduous journey traveling to the many vistas of this game on foot, especially for new players. Fortunately, Final Fantasy XIV contains a huge number of mounts to help players traverse the lands at a greater pace ranging from mighty steeds to technologically advanced vehicles.

Final Fantasy XIV has over 200 mounts to collect and ride, with more being added with every patch and expansion like Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, and the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. So, we have put together a list of every single mount you can acquire in Final Fantasy XIV and how to unlock them to help your journey go by much faster. We will also showcase mounts that are currently no longer available due to being limited-timed exclusives in case they are brought back in a future update.

What mount will you strive to obtain?

As you can see, Final Fantasy XIV has a metric ton of mounts for you to ride. I plan to grab the Landerwaffe mount because it is an epic-looking robot dragon that transforms into a jet straight whenever it flies. This is but one of many features that have made Final Fantasy XIV one of the best multiplayer games on PC, and future updates and expansions will continue to expand upon them.

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in the summer of 2024. This upcoming expansion will add new jobs, raids, locales, bosses, and much more.

In addition, an open beta test for the Xbox version version of Final Fantasy XIV is set to begin from mid-January, 2024 to February 2024.

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail 

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail 

Set sail for The New World and start a new adventure in the world of Final Fantasy XIV with Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail. This expansion will bring new Jobs to learn, new foes to face in challenging dungeons, Raids, and Trials, a huge graphical update to enrich the game's visual fidelity, and more.
