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)
