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....
