can we get rid of.....!!!

I wish we could talk to NPCs without dismounting

That's probably more to do with how NPC interactions work. So many conversations are basically mini-cutscenes, with gestures and emotes and stuff, that it's easier and less confusing to disallow mounted conversations altogether than to let you stay mounted for some but not others (probably can't talk to NPCs while sitting for the same reason.)

This has to do with the fact that most any interaction will dismount you or require you to dismount first. Talk to an NPC? dismount. Click on the 'wait here' action on the ground or try to perform an action such as using a dye or craft an item? It'll tell you 'can't perform that action now'. Until you dismount.

Only two things I remember that won't dismount you. Change jobs and eat food.
