Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

Come to think of it, it does have the best area music (although the music in town is God-awful).

I bet people that have spent 2 years raising digging skill are even more excited about this than you guys.

Someone brought up something interesting in this thread I think- combat on chocobos. I think it would REALLY BE AWESOME if they implemented this in game, later on. There would have to be ways to balance it, but it's possible.

Some possibilities:

- You can't use any regular job abilities, you can only attack with the chocobo

- Your chocobo takes all the damage and when it dies you have to raise another (adding some risk to doing it)

- I don't like the idea of having range weapons or polearms available, because other jobs will get excluded, but maybe a whole new class of chocobo weapons that any job can use equally well

- maybe even a whole new job- "Chocobo Fighter"

I wouldn't expect any of this to be implemented any time soon, but it doesn't seem impossible

I was actually thinking it would be cool to have chariots on the end. Have an npc ride you around and have a big gladiator type fight in the colliseum. Like have it where you gain a lot of evasion, but lose a lot of accuracy if you're on the chariot. I think having ranged weapons on there would be a lot of fun. A huge epic battle.

That's just because Uematsu wrote it.




Although a lot of Zi'tah fans are going to disagree with you on that...

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.

good guesses ..

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.

Knowing SE it'll be like once every ten -twenty hours.

No longer will adventurers have to rely on rental chocobos for traveling around Vana'diel! Players will be able to call their very own chocobos anywhere, at anytime.
Impress your friends with your personal chocobo mount!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!!!
I've wanted that since I first got my chicken licence!!!!

I somehow feel that, no matter what colors are actually available, I will still end up with a brown chocobo. It reminds me of play-doh. "Fun and Easy to use!" And then two of your play-dohs touch by accident and immediately fuse into a ball of play-doodoo brown.

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.

Maybe it'll be like FFVII and let you keep multiple ones and select which you take for a ride.

I could be wrong, but I think they've said that you won't have that chocobo forever. It will eventually leave you. Then again, they said that they wouldn't be rideable, and that turned out to not be true, so who knows?

Re: Yet again, PoL update~More Chocobo Raising

It might possibly leave an egg of a chocobo with it's features and attributes?

I doubt SE would make gamers repeat the quest, especially since this is supposed to be a system designed around people who can't play the game often and people who can.

My guess is going for some event or CS where your Chocobo leaves to return to the wild or something, but leaves you a Chocobo egg. Just leaving us high-and-dry doesn't seem like something SE would do for such an awsome addition.

Oh and, HA, now FFXI is officially better than every other MMO.

Ever.

Period. >.>

We've been the best ever since they had the idea to put "Final Fantasy" in the title


FINAL FANTASY XI

This has bugged me. That answer was in response to whether or not you chocobo would die if neglected. I'm wondering if its another case of poor translation and that it means it will only leave you suck at taking care of it. If you totally neglect it, then it starts to hate you and takes off, leaving only a Dear John letter.
I know the answer makes it sound as if its gauranteed to leave you, but the context of the question could point another way. (I'm just thinking out loud, feel free to disagree.)

Hey, I'm certainly hoping you're right on this. I'd hate to have to keep raising chocos as they get bored and leave me. I'm bad with houseplants, for crying out loud. I don't know if I can manage to keep a choco.

I was just repeating what I've heard through the grapevine, which isn't nearly as reliable as I'd like it to be.
