Riding Chocobos in town?

[SHJcules]

Not so sure about access to riding chocobos in town, so much potential collateral damage! But I'd love to be able to walk alongside my bird in towns, like I am taking him for a walk lol Should only be able to go at a brisk walking pace so people only really do it for that sweet chocobo affection or to show it off to their friends or any random reason really.

I dont see why people say it chocobos in town would be faster, because if SE has any sense they will limit the speed, probably to 100%, which is our walking pace, therefore there is no reason except to lag us out and prevent everyone seeing what they are doing.

200% movement speed, which is probably what chocobos will be is just stupid in town, and if thats immersion then you are just as stupid, it would be the same as town speed limits for cars being 70 MPH (motorway speed, atleast in the UK)

You don't drive your car inside the mall from shop to shop... why would you ride a GIANT YELLOW BIRD in town? >.> just saying... it makes no sense

Uldah has a huge road down the middle, so does Limsa.

Gridania too, if you think about it.

People drive cars down roads, and they rode horses on them too, FYI.

oh really? they rode horses on roads? i would have never guessed since i've never read a history book or anything in my life. people will be annoying with the birds, that's what they will do especially the younger kids who play who thinks it's funny.

Heaven forbid someone find the game fun.

Hmm I can picture Chocobos walking around Uldah and Gridania's main roads, just seems natural there for some reason. But I also can't picture chocobos wandering around Limsa O.o Don't know why, maybe because it seems stranger to see a giant bird standing on the edge of a bridge 100ft above the sea..

Whenever I enter a town, it should have to return to its humble sleeping quarters...

In my afro.

After I grow an afro.

I'm not saying I'm for or against the idea here, but assuming there IS a redesign in the works for the cities in addition to zones, there's nothing to say that they can't add some kind of a freight elevator in Limsa Lominsa that lets you move your chocobos around inside. Personally, I don't really see a huge benefit to having your bird walk around the city. I think that I'd much rather see NPCs in a place like Gridania riding chocobos around while patrolling the town, and that's about it.

Then I'm all for the "Enter town with a chocobo and die" option.
