Riding Chocobos in town?

[Leenk]

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.
