Second is lag and stuttering. Cities are already generally laggy enough due to the volume of people all in one spot. Now give all those people gigantic yellow birds to race around with and someone's graphics card is going to have a heart attack.

Third, and this is my opinion, but there really isn't a need for mounts inside cities at this point. The cities are large, but are laid out in a way to where you can get where you need to go quickly. To sum up, I would rather walk than deal with the lag and crowding.
Um, just make chocobos have a slow-run within the city and dont let them go inside buildings. It's illogical that they cannot run though the main thoroughfar though. What do you think it's there for?

You guys are too hung up on FFXI and all its rules.
