How long do mounts take to add?

Everyone knows that Zolom has a direct line of communication to SE in the same way that Harold Camping has an exact date on the rapture.

Chocobos are not "basic" and require work, but I do agree it is kind of sad they haven't been implemented yet. Shouldn't there have been development on them even before launch? Is it really that far off? Only assumption I can make is, horror of all horrors, Zolom is right and they want to released a plethora of content involving them or they only covered the basic coding of mounting and riding them.

If I were hoping for the best, I would say they could have been working on them this whole time, but just put the priority on the battle system then focus on implementing them later. As many have pointed out in their letters and interviews.

If one of the new features for them is Mounted Combat and fights you can only do while on Chocobo then they have to wait for the battle system to be fixed before they implement that feature anyway. We'll see and yes thats mindless speculation. But so far the only game that had active combat mounts that I know of is AoC.
