Mounted batttles, Racing, and Chasing!

Ever locked onto another player while riding a mount?
It looks pretty epic! Imagine how racing would be,
Even battle! I wanna tomohak some people
from my Chocobo!

I mean... obviously not as a full time mechanic....
more limited to events of course!
Racing? Oh yeah! Please yes!
Make it a mix of rotation timing
and "driving" skill. Heck, even make it so "lightly" turning
is more rewarding than skidding, like a true racing game!
Jumping and platforming during any kind of racing / battles would ALSO make it
challenging and fun!

Weren't there rumors of Golden Saucer racing in 2.3 floating around?

Man I really hope so, racing chocobo would add so much more to this game.
It'd be even better if raising them a certain way made them better racers or something like that. I say it has a LOT of potential, I hope SE sees that.

I would love some racing added to the game and of course crossing fingers that chocobo breeding will appear in the future as well!!

:D

I'm dreaming of tracks in my head as we speak.
Obstacles I cannot stress enough....
Or...even a boss fight race, where not only do you have to
control your mount well, but also have to work as a team
to down a giant opponent!

I'd love to see a ballista event with Magitek Armor since there is a system in place to use them in combat already, they could even add in more types of Magitek available like the Vanguard and Iron Giants!

And if they make that new "Yoshi" race that doubles as a mount
"Things will REALLY get interesting"

Sadly, all the laggers would be complaining. :/

Um, yeah the laggers complain about everything thats no reason to not add something tottally awesome to the game. :)

Mario Kart style racing .... on Chocobos ..... where you use items to slow down the ones in front of you .....

I havent decided if we should use our weapons for this or if they should create new things as powerups.
