More mount types in ARR please

We need to be able to ride them inside the city

As far as I can tell in the gameplay vid's Yoshi was riding a chocobo in Gridania, so, probably already a solid feature.

I don't think he was ever actually in Gridania. They were riding around in areas outside Gridania, in the Black Shroud.

They'd already indicated that mounts in cities would be a no-go with the current version, and they never changed that opinion throughout all of Yoshi's time as Director/Producer. They haven't clarified one way or the other what would be the case for 2.0, but I'm inclined to think the same reasons that existed before still exist now.

My personal position on it is the same as before... leave mounts outside of Cities. The most compelling reason I've seen for it has been in line with people "just wanting to be able to". It doesn't add to immersion. It doesn't add to gameplay. It's an eyesore and an obstruction for people trying to find their way around or get to NPCs, etc.

Yeah I am in no way sure, that's just how it looked to me.

Hard to say also how I feel about it. I don't feel like it hinders anyone or detracts from immersion. I would say, however I wouldn't mind a automatic dismount for standing still for x minutes feature. If I want to use my bird to traverse a town it should be my right to do so, but if I just idle for hours at a AH window (if they ever get a clue) I think that's a bit obnoxious.

It won't bother me either way though.
