How long do mounts take to add?

[LateReg]

Because they are not just "adding" mounts as something you pick up and ride like WoW. They are going to have a full fledge raising system ready from the start when chocobos go live and that takes a lot of finalization and programing and bugtesting.

Where did they ever say that?

Firstly, no, he didn't. Secondly, the way Yoshi talks in his letters and such, it seems like breeding isn't necessarily the direction they're taking it all (although it likely will be implemented a la XI); and it definitely doesn't seem like it will be the centerpiece of mount implementation. They constantly reiterate that they want to do something new.

Yeeeeaaaah......you're gonna have to come up with a quote or a source for that. I don't recall the old dev team specifically stating that they're gonna gave chocobo raising and all that when they finally implement chocobos.

Wishful thinking.

Pure speculation, and as far as i know i havent read anything official about any Raising / racing content.
Exactly where do you get your facts from?

bugtesting.

SE bug testing, thats new, when did they start doing that?

All of these things you are mentioning are great but couldnt we get some barebones form of mount until this amazing system you guys are talking about comes into the game? I mean 9 months without basic transportation? Thats pretty laughable.

People seem to love ignoring that the game needs to basically be remade. FFXI got chocobo's for riding fairly quickly in it's life because they didn't need to go back and redo ...pretty much everything. it's a little silly to think if the conditions were right we would have to wait the same amount of time (9 months) to have them.
