Will Mounts be able to jump?

[Elexia]

i agee with isaveron and it has nothing to do with insecuirty. why shouldnt our mounts be able to jump, but only boring specific chocobos? it is just silly. what if you are in mixed terrain with both obstacles and water? are we supposed to dismount, mount new mount, dismount, mount new mount? oh please

I think she assumed people were cemented into the FF games to realize traits carried over as you bred your Chocobo and used the colors as a specific example of what they did in older games.

A gold chocobo retained all traits of the Blue, Light Blue, Light/Dark Green and Black chocobo, for example, which means it can do everything, meaning thats your overall goal in raising a chocobo.

A Light and Dark Blue Chocobo were aquarian chocobos. Light blue can cross streams and rivers while dark ones can cross a bit of the ocean (deeper water), logically if you raise a Blue chocobo and raise it to become a Black or Gold chocobo, it'll retain it's ability to jump/dig/cross rivers/cross some deeper ocean.

Obviously being able to color your chocobo any color would change the "defined route" based on color because in FFXI you could train your chocobo specifically in traits no matter the color.
