    Slighty off-topic, but... I'm very worried about that chocobo racing. Whenever I'm running with other players, even when I start ahead of them, I end up falling behind. I presume it's some sort of latency issue, but I can't see myself ever having a chance to win the races with such a disadvantage. D:

    Whenever I play an MMO with someone in the same room I always notice that our character's positions relative to each other are never the same between both games when we're moving. I think this has to do with how the game checks and then communicates our character's positions. I imagine that during chocobo races, when the game only has to keep track of the dozen or so players racing (instead of the potentially hundreds of players in the open world), that it can be made to communicate our player's positions to each other more effectively.

    I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but hold out hope!

    More than likely it will run off of a clock so it won't matter where people end up on your screen, but how long it takes you from the time you start the race to the time you cross the finish.

    Yes, but that happens in open world. In instances everyone moves the same like you and chocobo racing will be instanced. I am pretty sure about that.
