Whenever I play an MMO with someone in the same room I always notice that our character's positions relative to each other are never the same between both games when we're moving. I think this has to do with how the game checks and then communicates our character's positions. I imagine that during chocobo races, when the game only has to keep track of the dozen or so players racing (instead of the potentially hundreds of players in the open world), that it can be made to communicate our player's positions to each other more effectively.

I'm not sure if this is what you're describing, but hold out hope!
