Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

I don't recall SE ever saying they wouldn't be ridable, when was this?

I remember at Fan Fest, someone asked if they'd be able to summon chocobos, and they said something to the effect of "We'll think about it. E-mail us if you want it to happen"

This was covered in another news thread about Chocobo Breeding. A link was provided to a comment with the producer of FFXI about ToAU, I believe. He stated that it would unbalance the game to call your chocobo and that they were not going to do away with the chocobo stables. I guess they've went the middle ground by making your chocobo summonable but yet there will be a time limit. Either way, they changed their tune and the masses rejoice!

I would simply like to have melee combat while on a chocobo. I could accept either the usage of a spear, sword. or ranged weapons. But I believe that would require a different job class, or missions and quests requiring a different game play style.

Oh man... how am I ever going to decide which one I want...

I want to race... so speed > all. Then, again, I dig so the one that gives you better results would be awesome. Then, again, riding around on a black destier would be awesome...

Totally. Except the music, layout, NPCs, and players.

Not quite. From the sounds it, yes, but keep in mind that Sandy was the first place t domesticate chocobos. Now, for a translation, it seems that the bastokian ones will be ridable longer, that fast sandy one faster, etc... they just seme diffrent.

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

San d'Oria was most likely the first town to be designed.. Thus why the first armor in the game (Leather Armor) is leather, why the "beta zone" in .dat files looks like San d'Oria, why they get NPCs running around. It would also explain why ronfaure was the only area theme composed by Uematsu.

The very first beta screens which were accurate to the final version, as far as I know, were of characters in leather armor in San d'Oria.


Another remnant of early beta, if you look behind the Bastok Market's AH you can see the monorail system which was originally a source of travel, before the idea of Airships came about.

If SE is really cool, they'll let my Elvaan character raise and ride a Jennet.

I'm really excited that we will be able to call them and ride them. I just hope the recall time isn't ridiculously high.

Hey! I resemble that comment!~

Sandy just feels like home to me. I've played a Windurstian and Bastokan character as well, but I never feel quite as "right" as when I'm in Ronfaure or Sandoria.

Also, we made those kickass armored Chocobos, so I feel a bit of national pride because of that.

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

I am amazed they did a total flip on their stance on riding them! Did they actually listen to the public outcry?? {Hmmm.}

Blue mage, pirate job, refreshed paladins...

Ofcourse its fanservice.

We love it!

I only have one other thing to say:










WARK!

SPAMMER!

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

Dude that is great news COME ON UPDATE!!!!!!!

[Taskmage]

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

Good news: The altered speed, riding time, chocobo digging, and look to make the chocobo look unique from others sounds unbelievably awesome.

Bad news: All those unique traits are really going to bum me out whenever the chocobo leaves and I have to raise a new one.

At the end of the update is a scene of Raminel and an NPC in San'doria with a chococobo sitting next to them. The quest probably starts or takes you through the area.

Chocobos will probably have three stats similar to Str, Vit, and Agi. Str increases the beak and improves digging, Vit thickens the legs(guess) and improves duration, and Agi increases height and improves speed. These are all just guesses.
