Riding Chocobos in town?

i just wanna say no, but i know people will flame.

I want my weather in the city and the Chocobo stopped at the city entrance. Or at least up to the stables which is 1/15th the way inside town. I dont want to see giant birds running around town.

Uldah allows chocobos within their city limits. This can be seen in it's opening cutscene and others. I noticed chocobos walking the streets during a rank 20 pugilist cutscene. Allowing them in town (at least on the streets) once we are riding our own chocobos would be nice. At least as far as immersion goes.

The chocobos in Ul'dah's opening are for a parade. It's a special event. They're pulling carriages. In that capacity, they're beasts of burden, not mounts. Big difference.

You do not see normal NPC citizens, at any point, riding around on their chocobos in town at will. You don't see them being escorted around, ridden, etc. etc. You only see the handler standing with them at the stables.

It could just as well, and quite immersively be that the law in Ul'dah prohibits Chocobos being ridden or at all un-stabled or tethered in-town except for special events and, further, only by authorized individuals.

I think the Chocobo rental should be split up in two ways:

First Way:

Single Chocobo to explore the unprotected lands within a time limit (Since it is a rental and all).

Second Way:

Chocobo carriage for the cities so that the wealthy do not have to walk and can smoke "Le Grand Cigar" that is made from a piece of the US Constitution. This would be nodal points that the user could pick and the carriage would drop them off there. Then make it a limit of 10-20 carriages to alleviate server load. I think people could wait to travel in style...

I think riding a chocobo in town is a fine idea, although you'd have to block access to the inner parts of buildings--that would be pushing it.

What if they were NPC's walking their Chocobos along the street? Carrying bags or pulling carriages?

I think I would enjoy that more than riding my own Chocobo through the streets.
