How long do mounts take to add?

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.

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

You seem to have a great time making things up and wording them as if they're fact, please don't because it'll just cause more bitching when the content we get isn't as magnificent as you seem to think it will be.

Why do you all perpetually buy their bait and switch?
They don't have anything planned for chocobos, because you still believe anything they say to you to justify not having them.

They have nothing planned. You all *actually* think they've been working on the battle system for 6 months, when in reality they started 4 weeks ago. Chocobos are no closer to being in the game than they were a year ago. When they finally do make it into the game, you'll forget your little statement that you made here about how complex the chocobo system is going to be, because YAY CHOCOBOS.

Ya i agree with this, Ive been int he game since beta and on these forums since they opened (ZAMs longer) and i not once have heard them say they are doing anything complex with mounts. It has all just been player speculation, and i think a basic mount function as a placeholder, as the OP requests is not that hard to put in game to hold us over for whatever magic plan they have for the future. Also, regardless of these higher priorty things that are in the works right now, chocobos should have been around a while ago. XI had the same problem and its a shame after almost a decade they are still no more efficient at making MMOs. Every other company now a days releases a game and adds to it over time. SE releases an empty world and adds a game over time. This is an archaic practice and should not have been repeated.

Maybe we can get skeletal chocobo version for now then add the meat after? LOL

Where did they ever say that?

Where did they ever say that?

Tanaka promised it before Yoshida took over and Yoshida promised that all of Tanaka's promises would be followed through with.
