    Dear fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw a chocobo carriage once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "Carline Canopy" and a job bagging groceries at the Whistling Miller. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Whistling Miller so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.

    That sounds incredibly familier... you've quoted that from somewhere and I can't remember where! >.<

    I think it's either Clockwork Orange or from David Bowie's Outside album...

    Gah that's gonna bug me

    It just gave me a GREAT idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, so here goes.

    What if, out of each town, there were chocobo drawn carraiges. And they traveled the path to/from some far area, like say from uldah to the ocean port, or gridania to, well, somewhere far as hell. And they'd only fit 12 people per cart. and there could be 2, circling. And you could pay 1k to ride. It would ride at a speed half way between chocobo and person. That would be super!

    A feature like this was supposed to be in FFXIV at some point. Quests involving carriages were mentioned too.

    Musketeers being implimented, Pugilist gear resembling a pirate, chocobo theme sounding like a 'wild west remix' and chocobo-drawn carriages travelling the desert wastes?

    I'd better start practicing my "We be hijacking this train ye long-eared galoote" impressions!
    I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING!!!
