Riding Chocobos in town?

[Dreadnought]

In what manor would chocobos help or hinder the imerssion within cities?

in my opinion a mounts main purpose is not immersion but for transportation to get from point A to point B quicker than walking.
you guys are right though, i guess the cities arent that large, limsa and gridania just arent as convenient to traverse versus Uldah so thats what came into mind.
either way i dont think its that large of a deal. if we cant oh well, im just personally used to video games giving you more ways to travel than what weve seen in FFXI. alot of games give you things like racial "run faster for 6 seconds every 2 minutes" and things like that (which did not apply to your mount, youd have to get off it first to use your racial)

and so you know, i dont dissagree with mounts contributing to immersion. i feel things like their physical aesthetic, how you get them, and their direct correlation to the story are how they contribute to immersion.
now that i think about it, my internet isnt half bad but it gets terrible lag even though our population doesnt compete with any other MMO. i can see having 40 chocobos in town causing my PC to bog up even more....

So now we must limit our suggestions to what can be obtained with inferior-grade servers? Please.

The day we cave to those standards is the day SE thinks it's okay to keep ten-year old servers.

Well, I don't know if this answers the question... but why not create an inside version or something of the Chocobo Stables found in each city. They all usually have a blocked off door or something behind them.

Why not have the option, when you reach the entrance point that crosses into each city to be able to select Dismount or Enter Stables to interact with other players Chocobos, which would ALSO pave the way as a future area for breeding, raising, and feeding of Chocobos and other Chocobo raising players, similar to FF XI's stables.

Now that sounds interesting. I like it.

Or how about they just let you dismount and mount whenever you want instead of trying to control and funnel every aspect of your life.

That would be pretty cool, I would actually prefer that, especially on mining leves or when delivering local leves or something.

But for them, they may not make things THAT easy for us, at first. You know how they tend to operate. Albeit, a good idea you've brought up, it doesn't really add to the idea of an instanced Chocobo Stable that I brought up, or the main topic of bringing the Chocobo into each city state. Elaborate on your idea a bit, I would like to hear more.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind having players walking their Chocobos in the city, as long as they stay on the main road. It would be kinda silly having them all fit through the door to the Adventurer's Guild. They'd all look like a box of Kentucky Fried Chocobo crammed inside there. LOL

But I can imagine players riding them throughout the main streets of Ul'dah and the main pathways of Gridania, and even the main, paved road of Limsa. Certain areas should be exlcusive to 5 main 5 races though, due to size and congestion issues.

Having your (personal) Chocobo, at a later date, would be neat to serve as both a portable retainer out in the field and should allow you to dismount and remount freely, as many times as you want when out exploring.

EDIT: Sorry about the above reply! I made a double post by accident!

I'm fine with chocobos in cities as long as it keeps you from going inside a building with them.

[Astray]

If you're able to then that's okay. If not, who the f#*% cares, we're getting transportation. I also agree with the guy above me

Well, after reading the latest news from Yoshi-p, i think would be really possibile in town,
