How long do mounts take to add?

We are working on our 9th month of retail and we still dont have mounts(chocobo or airships). Why? Two people can make another person from scrach before SE can add mounts to this game. Whats going on here?

It is simple they do not care about mounts atm, they are working on the larger changes first.

They already said they are going to start working on them after this patch, so complaining is not going to make the scrap the battle system to add mounts instead.

Because they are not just "adding" mounts as something you pick up and ride like WoW. They are going to have a full fledge raising system ready from the start when chocobos go live and that takes a lot of finalization and programing and bugtesting.

Not that raising and racing aren't cool, but the way they've been wording it, it sounds like they have something different in mind for chocobos this iteration, which may or may not be in addition to that.

All of these things you are mentioning are great but couldnt we get some barebones form of mount until this amazing system you guys are talking about comes into the game? I mean 9 months without basic transportation? Thats pretty laughable.

This thread's going to end well.

I know. It seems expecting basic transportation is just an over the top request. Clearly I must be a troll if i am tired of walking everywhere.

I would love to see you find a qoute of Square Enix saying chocobo raising was coming to the game.

Maybe not a troll but there doesn't seem to be anything in your original post conducive to a thoughtful discussion about what in this game is causing you grief.

I'm betting it's content saved for PS3 release.
