Riding Chocobos in town?

[Shipp]

People on the FFXIV forum have a weird way of seeing the world.

"it never happened in a previous Final Fantasy so why now?"

Um, to answer that: Maybe because's that ^ is your only objection.

Lag.

I win.

I don't want chocos in town because my PC already comes to a crawl in cities, even unpopulated ones. Horrible PC optimization + chocos in cities would just be wonderful.

Is it really our fault that your PC is set at too-high settings?

Plus, it's only a chocobo on your screen, it's not going to kill your computer much more than a character model.

Lol, just lol.

My PC is not set at too high of settings, nor do I encounter lag anywhere except cities. I still get lag in Jeuno in XI. Know why? Because SE freaking sucks at optimization for PCs. Amazing I can run other graphic-intensive programs and don't have a problem. Must be my PC though.

1 Choco won't kill me. The whole town on Chocos will kill every PC player.

He's going into troll mode because he's realizing it'd be stupid to have chocobs in cities with the current engine. It's his defense mechanism, just ignore it.

Anyways, lag is a serious problem and it's not just because of settings. It's because SE has reaaaaal bad optimization...memory leaks galore.

Or how about they just let you dismount and mount whenever you want instead of trying to control and funnel every aspect of your life.

That would be pretty cool, I would actually prefer that, especially on mining leves or when delivering local leves or something.

But for them, they may not make things THAT easy for us, at first. You know how they tend to operate. Albeit, a good idea you've brought up, it doesn't really add to the idea of an instanced Chocobo Stable that I brought up, or the main topic of bringing the Chocobo into each city state. Elaborate on your idea a bit, I would like to hear more.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind having players walking their Chocobos in the city, as long as they stay on the main road. It would be kinda silly having them all fit through the door to the Adventurer's Guild. They'd all look like a box of Kentucky Fried Chocobo crammed inside there. LOL

But I can imagine players riding them throughout the main streets of Ul'dah and the main pathways of Gridania, and even the main, paved road of Limsa. Certain areas should be exlcusive to 5 main 5 races though, due to size and congestion issues.

Having your (personal) Chocobo, at a later date, would be neat to serve as both a portable retainer out in the field and should allow you to dismount and remount freely, as many times as you want when out exploring.

EDIT: Sorry about the above reply! I made a double post by accident!

i just wanna say no, but i know people will flame.

I want my weather in the city and the Chocobo stopped at the city entrance. Or at least up to the stables which is 1/15th the way inside town. I dont want to see giant birds running around town.

[Spellstar]

ya lets make them fly too

Hand your head in SHAME !

Flying Chocobos? What next, Flying Pigs?!?!

/gasp

Hey it would be great to see an example of FFXIV leaking memory. Could you post it here please?
Maybe a Perfmon analysis displaying your memory to process byte allocations?

Thanks.

the perfect little dystopia where Chocobos are forbidden from entering towns.

Do you listen to yourself?
