Chocobo Racing/Breeding

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

Hmm... I'm almost certain that the coloured chocobos are not just for looks.

I can't imagine they would work the Black chocobo's flying ability because of the way the game is. Perhaps they will have the ability to dismount and fight like avatars/puppets/pets, but that would be unbalancing...

I can imagine a faster chocobo.

I can imagine a chocobo that will allow use an ability once "choco meteor, chocobuckle, etc" when you dismount to attack.

Hmm, what else...

LMAO @ the "chockaru"!

You people are a bit wrong in the head, aren't you? :p

Now you know why the mods are so atentative here, don't know what they'd get themselves into without us.

Scarry though that the mods can be as bad.

LOL! that was great, clicked on the link and what do I see... A baseball player trying to avoid the ball pitched at him and it reflecting off his crotch. Hope he remembered his cup.

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

maybe we can give the chocobos equipment, like sadles with packs on the side allowing them to store items for us or maybe we can ride them into battle giveing our chocobos lv.s like an extra class or something.

also breedings got me thinking if we breed a yellow chocobo with a black will we get another black or will we get a darker yellow for the chocobos colouring? and could offspring inherit special traits from both perents

and what other colours will there be we know there will be yellow, black, blue, green and red but will there be others like pink,silver, gold etc.

we know so much and yet so little this should be very amuseing finding out everything

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

I mentioned earlier about speed hacks on the chocobos... this is of great concern imo... any comments?

I doubt we will see "pack" chocobos, it would drastically affect the economy with improved farming and all.

Colour-wise, I wager it will be similar to VII (the most colorific chocobo game) in that you will get a red/gold/yellow/green/blue chocobo and not any shades thereof.

Traditionally there is yellow, black, red and white chocobos. There is also the Fat chocobo, but... It was only in VII that we saw blue, green and gold. It will probably be based largely on VII due to the popularity of that game.


On another note, I'd imagine we may get a choco-stable as something akin to the moogle house (either that or it will all be handled with 2-3 NPCs). It would be awesome if we got a stable and Fat Chocobo sitting in there as another storage method. Or maybe an NPC "Fat Chocobo" inside the Jueno stable that is willing to store goods after you finish a quest for him.

Well if that's your worry they can always make as part of it a range check against the server. If the range traveled equates right to the server then nothing happens. Really though since it's a race someone stupid enough to speed hack is going to be so blatantly obvious you can be certain the GMs will probably have them banned before they even get halfway across the track.

I'm pretty sure some sort of check will be in place on the chocobo field to measure if someone is cheating. Heck they could even place invisible markers that trigger back to the server so then the server could figure out if something is wrong with the character's speed. I really don't think it's something that'll be as big a worry.

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

i think i mentiond something about a chocobo stables attached to the mog house erlyer, it would be cool if you start with something small like 3 small stables with a 2nd moggle to look after it then you can earn/buy larger stables. it would be cool if we could decorate them as well with stuff for the chocobos, we can already get chocobo bedding as a furneture so maybe we could put that in the stables and make it more comftable for the chocobo, which could meain that we also have to keep our featherd friends healthy and happy

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

my guess is there will be a stables area next to Whitegate or namasu(sp?), and that you will have to pay a gill fee for stable area.

I remember SE saying something around "once your chocobo grows up you can breed it with a friend's chocobo" so Im guessing that will be a factor in the colour. On that topic I think there will only be 3 chocobos storeable(just me)

I really hope the stables/racetrack won't be too busy when its realsed, but I guess we'll see in a month^^

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

Job adjustment?

Will you be able to BE a chocobo in the update?

Cuz this is a Chocobo forum you're talking about job adjustments in.

Passenger Skill-Ups would make you some bank, though...

Passenger Skill-Ups would make you some bank, though...

I doubt we can use them for battle, and everything close to it. I guess just a color. Even though, it all would be nice, especially having a passenger. But I think everyone knows that's not possible either.

Re: Chocobo Racing/Breeding

Maybe the job adjustemtn turns you into a Chocobo...

Or maybe it gives you a Choco-Pet to use at whim.

Choco-Knight. With cool feather armor and claw, umm, Claws...

And a Choco-Mask!!!

Yeah, black chocobo AF...




btw, I'm doing that joking thing again, in regards to Rolls post...

You know as intresting as the idea of breeding your chocobo with someone elses would be... Can you imagine how many people are going to start having to /blist from all the perverted people throwing around sexual innuendos.

Idea sounds almost as bad as naming a system "Wii" and the sexual innuendos you can get from that.
