Chocobo during Queue - "Difficult"

[Enepttastic]

<snip>

Note that I said it would be time-consuming to do it now, since there was a distinct lack of common sense when developing the companion system. Being able to queue while one's chocobo is out is something that should have come up during the design phase and either decided for/against. Two out of three possibilities(didn't come up, decided against) show poor usage of common sense during the design phase, similar to how chocobos weren't originally able to be ridden while summoned.

As for it "evidently" not allowing for a fix, there's no proof of that. Merely proof that, as of the moment, it's considered enough of a non-issue to warrant spending the man-power to either figure out a solution or to code it in.

Admittedly, I'd have to have a first-hand look at the logic behind the coding before I could say, for a fact, how time-consuming it would be to implement, but considering that in just a couple of minutes, I have several different ideas(many utilizing logic that's ALREADY EXISTING in the game) so no, I don't believe for a fact that it would be difficult at all, merely time consuming and the fault for that lays directly upon those involved in the design process.

To be clear, this does not make them bad programmers, it's something that happens all the time especially on evolving projects like MMOs. Imagine you are building a Car, and you build a Ferarri sports car, then someone comes in and says "Ok, now make it seat 5 people." It's impossible. Yes you can make a car seat 5 people, but you can't make that car seat 5 people.

Except that programming does allow for going back and tweaking previous work to facilitate the new concepts. While not impossible, it's a little harder to do changes like that for physical items without making previous work wasted. That said, I'm going to repeat this: I doubt this is a problem the programmers caused, the issue was created during the design phase for chocobo companions and should have been considered/planned for then.

Yes let's do this and Game breaking bugs gets introduced me.

So, updates as normal then eh?
