How long do mounts take to add?

[Zantetsuken]

I wonder what people mean when they use the term 'mounts'...

Are they talking about anything other than Chocobos?

It is a carrot on a stick. They're abusing the populations' gross ignorance on the lenght of time it actually takes to get things done. They know they can pretend to be hard at work for 10 months of time, then at the last 2 months scrap something together and the player base will be none the wiser.

Except you can't *really* dick around for 4 years of time and only produce 6 months of work with it. Lesson learned in September, right?

Well, no, they've essentially wasted another year of everyone's time, and gotten about 2 more months of work out of it.

Honestly everything added to the game since September should have taken a good developer three months to crank out at most. It's all simple coding, easy gear color swaps and mish-mashes, if it's not straight releasing something that was already finished.

Square Enix is trying to pass off The World Ends With You production values in this game, to try to get away with landing subscription fees for little work. Don't let them.

This would all be valid if it were not for a few things.

1. They are Live Localizing for 4 different Languages.
2. A lot of what they are working on right now is fixes to deep code that deals with combat calculations so that we can finally get Stats that reflect something when you get a bonus to STR or MND or something, Instead of only a .00024% increase per point like we do now.
3. Even when doing color swaps they have to repaint the entire texture for a piece ontop of its normal map so that it fits the mesh and looks right in game. This takes time.

Two people can make another person from scrach before SE can add mounts to this game.

LMAO, so true...

They are going to have a full fledge raising system ready from the start when chocobos go live

Let's not make stuff up out of thin air, m'kay.

Two people can make another person from scrach before SE can add mounts to this game. Whats going on here?

Yet it'll be many years and much work before we can consider using this person as a mount.

Given the state of the game, it's not the highest priority. Where are you trying to get to that you need a mount right now?

Maybe turning in locals without using 15 Anima or running for 45 minutes?

For a lot of people (like me), the lack of chocobos IS one of the reasons for the horrible state of the game.

1-2 months when they get down to it. Why?

If you think it is a priority for them yet, well, keep dreaming.

Ask again once the battle/job/dungeon changes are done. Ya know, the things it seems they have been busy with.

Hey now. I can appreciate your complaints with TWEWY but don't you think conflating the two games is a bit insulting to TWEWY?
