Final Fantasy XIV (as of this writing) has over 180 mounts. And this goes up with every other patch.
Some of them awe you with their beauty and music, others are showpieces so people know you defeated a rare challenge, and then there are those made to make you smile (Fat Chocobo, for instance).
And this ranking will take you through those great mounts that are pretty rare, or just tough to get. Can you collect them all?
Well I’ll tell you now, when I get started with mounts, I treat them like Pokémon.

The construct is a golem that has been painted red.
The red paint is supposed to make it go faster. No one knows what the S stands for.
But you can look cool as you run around Eorzea in the hood of this large metal machine.
Unfortunately, this piece does not have its own soundtrack. Instead it reverts to the standard mount music.
But this doesn’t diminish how awesome it is to run around inside a large golem, reminiscent of the gate guard in classic hit Labyrinth.
How to get: Gather Faux Leaves at Faux Hollows. Faux Hollows is a mini game you can play once a week after completion of the current Unreal Trial. 600 Faux Leaves will buy you the Construct VI – S.

Stand on top of this winged metal beast in its glory of gold and electric blue, and you’ll see why it’s so great.
Looking a little like a plane with legs, this mount comes with the Bozja theme, changes shape when it flies, and looks even better at night when it glows.
How to get: A rare drop in the 24-player duty Delubrum Regine (can be found in treasure chests). This is part of the Bozja questline.

Juedi translates to “ludicrously swift steed that runs so fast its feet no longer touch the ground”.
Probably.
She’s a beautiful black horse of legend, with a mane of silver hair.
Her music is of the Heavens on High stock, giving the perfect beat for her hooves as she takes you swiftly across the realm.
How to get: Complete the top floor of Heaven on High. Have all 4 Empyrean Reliquaries in your inventory when you speak with the Cast-Off Confederate in the Ruby Sea. (Crick)

He was a mark the clan could not bring themselves to kill.
They took the cub in and raised him to ride.
This is one big Tiger, but he loves his riders, and will always come when called.
How to get: You need 2 hunting achievements to get this beast. “Bring Your A Game V” (slay 3,000 rank A elite marks) and “Bring Your S Game V” (slay 2,000 rank S elite marks).

Once upon a time, the Morbols were a nightmare.
My only chance of survival seemed to be to run from that poisoned breath.
Now I can ride a Morbol around and spray that bad breath at my friends and foes alike. What’s not to like here?
How to get: This one’s tough. First you need a party of blue mage with undersized party turned off, and silence echo turned on (Use Party Hunter). Then you need to do the following:
