Does anybody else misses the ability to interact with NPC and chests while ridding the chocobo? Final Fantasy General

X was my first game, and I loved that you could talk to people and open chest while ridding the Chocobo, that was a huge miss in further series.

I can help the fact that I really miss to be able to do that. I hate to get off the Chocobo to do simple things as to open a chest, it makes it too tiresome.

Does anybody feel the same?

You can open chests in FF7 Rebirth while on a chocobo. And before that, it was only possible in X and XIII. Maybe X-2? (I never got that far).

In FF14, it was an intentional design to not let you talk to NPCs because then you'd block other players with your big bird.

I knew about the smashing boxes but 130 hours later and I didn’t know you could open chests lol

I Miss being able to interact with NPCs in general. You can hardly talk to anyone in FFXVI. Just hearing chatter as you pass by just doesn't hit the same.
