Unable to ride chocobos in town makes me facepalm.

they prob wanna instill some sense of realism in the towns

I would rather them keep them out, I just envision Rift or WoW with a small army of mounts everywhere in uldah and it makes me cringe.

Anyone who voted against this should adopt the idea of being a little more open minded. In the MMOs of today you are only forced to dismount from your mount if you go into certain areas of towns. Being that the game is designed in similar ways as FFXI and the towns aren't really open enough to support the idea I do understand why you cannot ride them in town. But nevertheless I find this disappointing. I guess though at the very least it is staying true to Final Fantasy world because I cannot think of any FF game that you can ride them in town.

most mmos do not take as much of a realistic approach as FF. WOW graphics are cartoons for crying out loud.

People blocking everything with their mounts? No thanks. If you really need a mount to cross a city, you are very very lazy and need to go back to WoW.

Uh.. When in ANY FF game have you ever been able to ride a chocobo in a town? This is, after all, a game in the FF series. What did you expect? This isn't WoW, or Rift. You don't need a chocobo in town because you're really not traveling far distances in town, nor is their any monsters to aggro.

OP makes me "/facepalm"

This thread makes me sick...i feel like im stuck in the past with no flux capacitor...blocking npcs when you got f8? i bet you guys as soon as jobs come out youll wanna revert back to classes too...you keep saying use your legs, well why did you want chocobos and airships in the first place? just because you can use a mount in town doesnt mean wow or rift...if you want something useless like this to complain about, complain about the color coded gear text similar to wow setup....havent seen a complaint thread bout that yet....

Ever walk from the entrance of Gridania to the Conjurer's Guild? Yeah, we definitely don't need a faster way to get around cities...

I don't care if they allow Chocobos in cities or not, but they need some kind of city shortcuts.

All this and more....it sucks getting around in limsa and gridania. uldah not so much but still wouldnt hurt.

Threads like this makes me facepalm.

There are so many other important meaningful issues and valid requests, lost because they're flooded with miquote boob sizes complains and threads like this.

I don't know man, as far as I can see the only positive thing about chocobos in town is to reach certain area of the town faster. I don't see any form of content being implemented with chocobos inside towns, etc. However, the negatives are far more and shows in every game that has implemented mounts within towns.

Even if you can target closest npc with F12 (thats the actual key, unless you remapped to F8 =p) the clutter this would cause on places people gather around would not be a very cool sight.
