Riding Chocobos in town?

[giftforce]

Do you think people should be able to ride mounts (specifically Chocobos at this stage) within the city limits, or should they be barred access?

Both options seem logical, but one is obviously more restrictive than the other.

[Delsus]

Imo keep it like all final fantasy games and only to city limits, or atleast you can only go to chocobo stables on them.

But it's a chocobo, it's not a ferral beast.

Maybe if it could only walk, not run?

Didn't stop them from being unalowed in towns and cities before.
Besides, do you really want the streets to be crowded with them?
For the health, safety and peace of our citizens, I must insist that we keep our beasts either in the fields or in the stables.

Uldah is basically one big road. I think it can handle a chocobo here and there. Another thing, all anyone does in the cities is craft or AFK-bazaar, so obviously you won't be able to do either of those things on a chocobo if SE is smart, thereby placing a restriction on the chocobo-congestion without it seeming untoward or imposing.

This. I would not mind this information at all.

Given that people complain about every little detail, I'm pretty sure they'll be rideable in town, dungeons and under lava or whatever else people will want.

Well won't it seem kind of odd that once you approach a certain point the chocobo starts having a minor conniption and goes "sorry, I am not programmed to walk on paved roads... does not ... compute ".

It just kills whatever attachment you could form with a piece of programming because you realise it's just that. Programming. Bad programming.

Or you know the logical solution is to say that Chocobos are trained to not prance around in town, because those that do get turned into Beak glue.

Also that Chocobos are not idiots and refuse to run into cramped caves full of monsters with no way out.

Or you could assume it's "Bad programing" but people even "Walking in town" with chocobos would be tantenmount of horses jimmying around the sidewalk. There has to be a limitation to it somewhere. People would beat you senseless if you just strolled around the city with a horse where people are supposed to be walking!

The current cities don't have motorways or "Chocobo roads" to travel on. So lets say you want to stay immersed with your chocobo.

If you enter town with it you get a ticket from the gate guards or they just kill you for being an idiot. Either or.

If the guards ran over and attacked you for entering with your chocobo, that would be fine. But that's the only way you're getting me off my Chocobo.
