Yoshida did have a comment about mounted battles when the discussion came up, too!

It would be very difficult to feature mounted battles on every field. Therefore, instead of creating mediocre content for every area, we would like to make these battles special. This will be far ahead in the future, but if we were to implement mounted battles, we would like to make this specialized content. This way we can focus our resources to create the most interesting and optimized content.

The road is very long, so we would greatly appreciate your patience and support. m(._.)m

i had a conversation like 6 months ago with LS member about chocobo armor and gear, chocobo whistle to summon, and chocobo helping fight. I cant believe that you are ding all of them.
I even said especially for lancer fighting on the back would be awesome.

OMG!!! Bayohne... You are a freakin' good news machine mastodon of awesomeness!!!! I LOVE it!!!! LMAO Thank you very much for the additional response! I will most certainly wait patiently for Chocobo mounted combat in the future, as long as FF XIV is here for us to play! ^____^ I'm just very content to rest assure that it has been confirmed and will be planned one day! It's gonna be @$#!ing awesome!!!!

Bayohne! I can't tell you how much this post excites me. Sure I know it will be in the future but there is a lot of great tidbits I think a lot of people will enjoy. If I could "eventually" be playing with my path companion, on a pet class, with my personal chocobo also fighting with me, that would be awesome, especially since I'll be able to equip my choco, maybe even teach him moves or roles.

And in the future we'll have mounted combat content?! win.

I still personally hope for chocobo only travelable terrain ^^

You mean special terrain that can only be crossed while riding a chocobo? That could be pretty cool, I suppose, though naturally the dev team would need to come up with a reasonable explanation for it.

Si!~ that is exactly what I mean. There is already precedent for Chocobos enhancing terrain travel: in 7, 12, and 13 (there may be others). I just think it would be a nifty addition especially if chocos are easily raisable by all players (or at least rentals can move on rugged terrain also, which would be acceptable)

Leonesaurus, that may be a dat swap of a mob with invalid texture?

Yeah, you're probably right. I figured the same several times, but hey, it's always worth mentioning. I always argued against it with myself considering they use red models (shown in the making of Eorzea video) before they texture them, but we'll see at some point. =P

the terrain appears to be to dangerous to cross by foot,:explained.
