Please fix Chocobo racing

[Neon231]

Please add a separate race that lets me do a track with no items/obstacles and is based purely on your Chocobo. I have the worst luck in the world and constantly fight RNG on stupid items.

Please fix this ridiculous delay for jumping and turning. Jumping has a 3-5 second delay and is extremely annoying. It has been like this since 2.x, why is it still this bad? Have we not poured enough money into this yet? It is 2018, please fix it already. Turning also has a huge delay, even when you're done turning my chocobo will continue to turn for a short period of time.

I'm sure some people are going to yell at me for asking for these things, but it is asinine for me to believe that in 2018 were having button delay problems on a Final Fantasy game. I understand latency issues, but this is not a latency issue. This is poor optimization.

its because the racing is not done client side - it's server side which means there will be some lag/delay issues. you just have to get used to it.

I know it is, but it is still something that needs to be fixed. The entire game is server side. I don't get a 3-5 second delay when jumping in combat, so why am I getting this delay in chocobo racing? If you can't make it properly, then don't release it at all.

Tbh, I don't mind the delay, just memorise where the chests spawns, and get a feel for how long the delay is. The game is very forgiving when it comes to grabbing chests or jumping plates.
The races have specific "lanes" you move into, and if you are in the front early on in the race (using chocobo dash, super sprint or headstart), you can remove a large percentage of the RNG factor.
If you are first and see a baccheus water, take it so they cannot use it on you.
