Riding Chocobos in town?

[BloodLotus]

As much as I like the idea of Chocobos walking around while I craft... I don't like the idea of blobs of choco-poop (lol) and feathers littering the streets.

They should keep to the stables and the race tracks while in city limits.

And to those hating on choco in the city for afk mounters. Rately happens and isn't THATA BIG OF A DEAL. Also in WoW mounts had limited abilities in the city, like you can't enter buildings. The mount outa dismounts you.

Honestly i'm not that bif of a WoW fan, but st least I do not make complaint "cuz its in WoW" your hate for this game is rather childish. It is a different video game. It didn't kill your mother, and the community isn't all that bad. Infact on the servers I'm on, no one bunny hops anymore if ever did. People only jump to get over an obstecle Just to get from point a to point b a little faster. Also our towns are infact bigger the the ones in WoW. Really get over your unfounded hate on a video game. Because it is ruining this one.

I think it was never done in FFXI to avoid city clutter, but I recall that in many story cutscenes you would see NPCs riding around towns on Chocobos.

Don't really care either way TBH. I just want a faster mode of transportation across the main areas.

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?

Now...im gonna use a...well the only reasonable refrence i can find....
If i had a "Rare" mount (lets say a Purple coblyn mount with a crazy look on...in his eyes) id love to show it off to the players inside the city ofc.

- But, well, we talking about chocobos, not very unique is it.
But thats the reason id like to ride my mount in a town.

Just like the multitude of players in Stormwind does (in WoW), hell ya im playing World of Warcraft
while waiting on FFXIV stuff, and im not ashamed of it either.

But...i can live withouth it, but not my coblyn mount "Brutus" !

People really so lazy they also want chocobos to carry them around in town too?

I don't think one person mentioned WoW in this thread at all.
Except you, of course.

I don't understand the point of running around a city on a rented chocobo. Which is what we'll be getting first. It's bloated and unnecessary.

maybe wait until the whiners eventually get their golden rainbow sparkle-bo to desire such a feature.

Keep the chocobos and other mounts outside. First and most important reason being the crowding. Chocobos are huge in game if you havn't noticed. Imagine a bunch (or even just 3 or 4) of people mounted on chocobos all crowding around the guild leve counter or the repair npc or in doorways or standing on top of people trying to bazaar.

Second is lag and stuttering. Cities are already generally laggy enough due to the volume of people all in one spot. Now give all those people gigantic yellow birds to race around with and someone's graphics card is going to have a heart attack.

Third, and this is my opinion, but there really isn't a need for mounts inside cities at this point. The cities are large, but are laid out in a way to where you can get where you need to go quickly. To sum up, I would rather walk than deal with the lag and crowding.

Um, just make chocobos have a slow-run within the city and dont let them go inside buildings. It's illogical that they cannot run though the main thoroughfar though. What do you think it's there for?

You guys are too hung up on FFXI and all its rules.

I think I'd prefer it if chocobos were outside only, and I'm guessing that's the way it's going to work. I don't think it really makes a huge difference either way though.
