Why another complex minigame that will probably die in 2 weeks?

And, from what I've seen, the controls are really stiff with the invisible "lanes" making this a lot less fun to play that an actual racing game.

They claimed that the Chocobo Races feel stiff as they do because everything is handled server-side to prevent people from cheating.

Which is really dumb because it only prevents people from hacking. I've seen people botting the chocobo races and just about every other attraction to farm MGP while AFK, particularly since 4.5 dropped due to people being desperate to get enough MGP for the new rewards.
