Ever locked onto another player while riding a mount?
It looks pretty epic! Imagine how racing would be,
Even battle! I wanna tomohak some people
from my Chocobo!

I mean... obviously not as a full time mechanic....
more limited to events of course!
Racing? Oh yeah! Please yes!
Make it a mix of rotation timing
and "driving" skill. Heck, even make it so "lightly" turning
is more rewarding than skidding, like a true racing game!
Jumping and platforming during any kind of racing / battles would ALSO make it
challenging and fun!
