I must admit I find it really odd that all female characters do not have the option to ride side saddle on mounts that would normally be ridden either astride or side saddle - unicorns, ponies/hosts, Chocobos, and perhaps others.

Please SE, give all female characters the option to chose to sit sidesaddle or astride such mounts.
Does riding side saddle provide more comfort for the rider? I've never ridden a horse, let alone ridden one in that position so I can't comment on that, but from my minute of Google all I can see is that it was more elegant to ride like that, and would allow them to ride while wearing elegant clothing such as long dresses (I'd guess it would be easier on a Lalafell though). I don't imagine it would be very practical to ride side saddle on a chocobo though, but I'd say riding a chocobo would be as practical as riding an emu either way. If they do add this, I'd hope it's a permanent animation change and not similar to /cpose where they switch into it awkwardly.
