    This is a follow up post to my last post regarding the use of chocobo whistles within the city.

    This post has taken a while for us to prepare because we are also looking into a warp feature within the city-state of your Grand Company as a type of Grand Company reward.

    What has made this a bit difficult is the fact that these features have a lot of overlap, so we decided that we will work towards implementing these features with some adjustments.
    • Moving around within the city-state of your Grand Company: Introduce a warp feature as a Grand Company reward.
      *We will also look into implementation for use in other city-states
      However, the warp feature for other cities will be different from that in your own city.
    • Allow players the option to ride their chocobo out from the chocobo stable
      *This is in response to players wishing to be able to watch the cool chocobo cutscene again
    These features are planned to be implemented sometime after patch 1.20, but we will let you know if there are any updates.

    I like this option, teleporting around town seems rather silly though... they aren't that big to really justify it.

    Ul'Dah and Limsa are about the size of Windy, which had teleport NPCs. Grid is smaller, but the hallways (all cities have this effect to some degree) make it seem just as large since the travel time is still about the same through the city.

    I think it means warping to the city of your GC whilst having your home point elsewhere and not needing to teleport.

    This is also what I understood from the quote.

    Depends on how you interpret what he said.

    "Moving around within the city-state of your Grand Company: Introduce a warp feature as a Grand Company reward."

    Are the surrounding regions "within" the city-state? Given he talked about an overlap, I imagine it's a shortcut to go from the entrance of town to the Grand Company headquarters, or something along those lines.
