There's always just using a chocobo, too :p
I'm probably going to use Chocobos for most things, the car will just be used for traveling long distances. When I'm going to be exploring, the Chocobo is the go to method of transportation. This all comes back to your main point, the car is just how you get from A to B. Yes, it's an important part of the story, but when you're talking about pure gameplay, the car can't jump, swim and move across rough terrain like the Chocobo. :happyboko:

I'm not normally that excited about chocobos.

But these chocobos? These are the chocobos!!



Chocobo.
The Chocobos in this game will be by far THE BEST version of any Chocobo in the entire series. That is something I feel more people should take note of. By far the best controls and functionality from any FF game. We know that the Chocobos are used by many people throughout FF history including having Chocobo knights.

Not only do the Chocobos in this game feel more like the horse equivalent they've always been, but they by far exceed the capabilities of a horse. Being able to float, glide and drift all while providing speedy transport over rugged terrain makes these the BEST rendition of any Chocobo throughout the entire Final Fantasy series.

I always intended to let Ignis do the driving after seeing the driving gameplay demo, a while back.

The scenic cam is too good to pass up. I know I'll be seeing the World the way the developers intended - such as the first time entering lestallum.
I remember during the famous scene in The Last of Us
I missed the giraffes because I was too busy scrounging for supplies. When people mentioned it, I was like "there are giraffes?"

I always liked those wee segments in FF where the computer would take the wheel. It actually happens surprisingly often.

The way i see it, its pretty much Red dead redempton (horses) meets FF field travel wise.

Also just to throw this hear: A Q/A with an answer on why the car was designed the way it is in this game:

Fan question: "Why is it so easy to control the car (unrealistic) and why is there no freedom to drive?" (referring to the playable demo at the AFATH 2016 event)

"We made it easy so everyone can play our game, including the casual fans who never played this kind of game before. In other open-world games, the car controls are realistic and the driving scenes are nightmare to some players who can't drive in real life so they keep crashing the car all the time and it's frustrating. We think that driving is not a key feature in this game so we should focus on the story and something more important. That's why the car will be easy to control. But we also have other features for the players to enjoy it, for the example; you can let the AI drives the car while you play with your camera and looking around the landscapes, this is not possible in other games because we're unique!"

You hit the nail on the head.

I've just become more and more impressed every time they've been shown.
They really are the ultimate in off road travel. That swimming was just the jewel in the crown. They're perfect for all terrains, they're fast as tuck, you can level them up, feed them and they fight alongside you! I'm all for it!

Frankly, I will throw away a car as soon as I can ride the chocobos!
I'm guessing you won't be able to. I'm assuming the car has story elements that will force you to ride it to the next destination while the bros converse.

I wonder if the car is required for the story or you can just use the chocobo for the entire game
