That's why we need chocobo rentals. I'd rather have the rentals and wait on the goodies rather than wait on everything especially if they've already finished the idea of the rentals. They're giving us what they can when they can. Just because you don't want to ride around on a chocobo for fun doesn't mean others don't.

And the reason all this talk is going around is because WE wanted information so they let us in on their plans. It's better than them keeping quiet about it. Now we at least have something to look forward to in the future.
The part I bolded is a brave assumption. They haven't talked about that but I trust in them that they will allow that because otherwise, as I said, they'd end up being pointless.

And don't get me wrong I'm glad they came out and told us, but that doesn't mean I can't be dissapointed at the news, mostly because we were told that they weren't there from the start to avoid an implementation as bland as this one. Then they went ahead and did it just to get them in there somehow, which to me shows either lack of originality (they really haven't come up with anything yet so they're just doing what they can) or lack of workforce if it took them this long to implement something as simple as rental mounts.
