Final Fantasy XIV Adding Mountain Dew-Themed Bird Mount

The Mountain Zu is one of the new soda-themed rewards players can get in Square Enix's MMO

I bring good news for all you Mountain Dew lovers out there who also play Square Enix ’s popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. Starting today you can drink Dew, collect points, and unlock a giant bird mount as well as other goodies. On May 16, ahead of the July 2 release of FF14’s Dawntrail expansion, game director and producer Naoki Yoshida and global community producer Toshio “Foxclon” Murouchi detailed some of the big changes coming to the MMO, which won’t be great for Astrologians.

Perhaps the best and silliest reward is a giant bird mount named “Mountain Zu.” Yes, really. In the live stream, Yoshida explained that the US Square Enix team came up with the name and when he first saw it he thought, “Wow, this sounds like a dad joke” and suggested it’s the kind of joke you’d also hear in Japan. Good to know that corny dad jokes and bad puns exist across the globe.
