Riding Chocobos in town?

[GabbaGabba]

i think in ffxiv, with the way the regions are where u dont zone but just walk in, if your on a chocobo, and u reach the gate, it could give u a pop up window saying that the chocobo does not want to go any further and ask if u want to dismount.

i think an auto dismount will upset a lot of players, especially if u enter the gate by accident.....

i really REALLY hope they implement something like a personal chocobo barn where you can have maybe up to 5 different chocobos that u've raised from an egg. you can pick and choose which one you want to ride also and instead of zoning in from the rental, you can zone out of your barn which can be a zone right outside the city gates.

a pop-up window, really? If it doesn't want to go any further it should go crazy and sqwark at you or something. We have enough popup menus already.

The only problem I could see with chocobos in towns is limsa. There are a lot of narrow staircases/ramps there. It would be hard to get a chocobo up there.

Maybe the restriction can be that chocobos don't like to go up stairs. That seems reasonable. Not letting chocobos walk on flat ground that we've seen them walking on in cut-scenes doesn't make any sense.

itll probably be a pop up window to dismount b4 entering a city like Gabbagabba said. No need to make it any differently

Did you know that if you tried to post a suggestion like this (I say suggestion because it certainly doesn't qualify as an "idea") on any other forum besides a FFXIV one, you would be shot down for being unimaginative and restrictive.

Like, don't you guys ever think of ways to improve concepts rather than just preserving the status quo or upholding antiquated traditions?

But it's a chocobo, it's not a ferral beast.

Didn't stop them from being unalowed in towns and cities before.
Besides, do you really want the streets to be crowded with them?
For the health, safety and peace of our citizens, I must insist that we keep our beasts either in the fields or in the stables.

Uldah is basically one big road. I think it can handle a chocobo here and there. Another thing, all anyone does in the cities is craft or AFK-bazaar, so obviously you won't be able to do either of those things on a chocobo if SE is smart, thereby placing a restriction on the chocobo-congestion without it seeming untoward or imposing.

I would like to be able to ride chocobos in cities.

SE is gona look at this from a practical stand point. Your and our opinions come last gift.

First off. Why do you need a chocobo in town?
