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.

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

Wait

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.

You probably didn't play at the beginning of 2.0 where the Waking Sands was open to everyone crowding a tiny room with their minions out with everyone hovering over Minfilia. I already have to deal with people melting into the Wood Wailer whenever I want to do the Palace of the Dead and I seen someone be AFK for days on their fat moogle mount. Just because you don't see it happen doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all and just because other MMOs "done it better" doesn't mean this one can too because good lord this game has a mess of problems.

But at least you admitted to how smart you really are.

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!
