Talking to NPCs while mounted

[Welsper59]

I think it used to be worse? I remember that I could not even talk to the NPC unless I get off the chocobo manually.

Ah the nuances of such basic functions missing in a modern game. Sad that it was even a thing to exist that we needed to do that.

I always thought it would be rude lore wise. And annoying. It's bad enough when a player stacks right on top of a NPC I'm trying to click.

There's a couple of NPC's I wanna mount.

Wait

There's a couple of NPC's I wanna mount.

Wait

Surely you mean NPCs who wanna mount YOU. ;P *cough*Haurchefant*caugh*

I just KNEW someone would make a comment like that as soon as I had posted the thread and realized how the title could be read... Hehe. in my defense, English is not my first language so I tend not to notice stuff like that immideatly.

For starters, people crowding an NPC is easy to deal with. Just hold down your target filter button (I think the default on keyboard is X).
You'll click right through people and onto the NPC or other target, unless you've changed your filter to act differently.

However this isn't a case to make conversations applicable while mounting. No, I just wanted to help people in crowded areas. Speaking to people while mounted is incredibly rude. How you wish to play out your characters personality is one thing, but within the context of the rest of the world, you're mild mannered and polite. Let's not forget this!
