Unable to ride chocobos in town makes me facepalm.

Seriously? I can't say I'm surprised though, I saw it coming. This is another example of SE's backwards way of thinking.

I do understand not wanting the adventurers guild and other enclosed areas full of chocobos, on the other hand many other games have already solved this by making you dismount when you cross a certain mark.

Your own videos depict chocobos in the streets -.- please rethink this and consider allowing chocobos in town.

I would rather them keep them out, I just envision Rift or WoW with a small army of mounts everywhere in uldah and it makes me cringe.

This lol... and the fact we never get to use mounts in towns in the FF series >.> Shouldn't be a surprise...

Anyone who voted against this should adopt the idea of being a little more open minded. In the MMOs of today you are only forced to dismount from your mount if you go into certain areas of towns. Being that the game is designed in similar ways as FFXI and the towns aren't really open enough to support the idea I do understand why you cannot ride them in town. But nevertheless I find this disappointing. I guess though at the very least it is staying true to Final Fantasy world because I cannot think of any FF game that you can ride them in town.

most mmos do not take as much of a realistic approach as FF. WOW graphics are cartoons for crying out loud.

Age of Conan? You can ride mounts in that game and it looks a lot more realistic than FFXIV. Also I believe EQ2 and there are several other games where you can ride mounts in towns. It is very realistc considering back in the day people rode horses and had horse carriages that rode into towns. I never said WoW, even though you made a point that is the most well known game that does allow this. By the way the graphics have nothing to do with riding mounts in a town and doesn't belong in this thread in the least. I truly wonder if anything goes through your head before you choose to speak.

Also I do actually agree with the post from the stand point it wouldn't work well with the current layout in FFXIV major cities. I wish they would open Uldah and Gridania more like LL and be more expansive and not so clogged up. By doing that and adding boundaries and only allowing you to ride your chocobos on the main streets in the towns would be really neat. It would make the cities feel more grand because most of the cities currently in FFXIV lack the Final Fantasy feel for me.

I'd like to keep my streets open and clean, if possible.

Note to self: If I step in chocobo turds on the way to the AG, blame Chain Lynks.

lol, well I do understand the other side of the issue. Just personally would like to not be dismounted the second I hit the city gates =\

I don't think it'd be as bad as those games due to no ridiculous mounts taking up 3/4 of your screen space.

[Kaizlu]

I'm okay with this. Mounts should stay outside the city.

In town, but not in buildings.

And since there's so many buildings to pass though when running around, it's not really worth it.
