Concerns Regarding Chocobo Cost

[Stockapotapoulos]

Personal Chocobos, sure. Make them like the Maybachs of FFXIV. Give the hard workers, the rich, and the elite their sense of accomplishment.

Rental Chocobos, 10,000 gil per rental? As my friend's mum used to say, "Boy, you must be outcho mind!" Make them like the Fords of FFXIV. Give everyone the sense of nostalgia of riding a chocobo in a Final Fantasy game.

It is confirmed that being on a chocobo in FFXIV will not make you immune to mobs. This is partly, I guess, because mounted fights will be made possible.

Ah... I see. I wasn't aware of the possibility for mounted fights. Which, to be honest does sound cool. o o; Thanks for clarifying!

However...

My thing is that we should be encouraged to explore the world not deterred from it. Even if we are too low of levels to do anything to them or even in that area.

I fear by not allowing players to do that we are limiting world and the overall game experience. ^^;
