Be that as it may, one needn't have varied mount/dismount for race and gender though. That kinda variation is not compulsory. It's all about priorities. If S.E can't make varied animations for race and gender, then they just don't do it. That simple. Chocobos already scale according to heigh of character, so animation can be uniform for each race.


To prove it's possible. Archeage has multiple different mounts, multiple different mount animations (depending on which side you mount from) and different jump/winnie animations for each mount, along with mounted combat, and it certainly never presented a visual problem to people playing that game. So it's definitely nonsense to say S.E. can't add jump to a chocobo if they wanted.

And if you want to talk about glitchy, look no further than the knockback/draw-in animations in this game, or lackthereof.

Oh nevermind, i forgot you don't actually play so wouldn't know.
