How long do mounts take to add?

There's no good reason why they didn't have chocos and airships at launch. They had 5 years.


5 years.

2, but yeah. As said, if they didn't have to redo things...it would likely be implemented by now. I think the main thing is, they never focused on the quests (let alone had time to given how it was pushed out >.>) let alone probably had an idea of what chocobos would be for beyond riding. This game compared to XI though needs a lot of more optimization for what is already present, let alone adding in airships (for our use.)

I played XI since JP beta so I remember the history, when I said it was given fairly quickly in it's life was we didn't have to necessarily wait for it, especially given that XI didn't need major overhauls to its core that pushed everything to the backburner.

The problem with XIV like I said was they originally wanted it to be as different from XI as possible which is where pretty much the majority of odd decisions come from. The server side interface adds to other problems like the slow response of actions and etc.
