-The number of buried items in each area will increase.
-Depending on the chocobo, "fatigue" similar to that incurred during fishing will be imposed upon the player after digging for a certain period of time.

Thank you SE!, this might make it harder for the digbots and let me lvl my chocobo digging easyer.

I didn't find them though, It was somebody from these forums, but I linked it to my HNMLS's site, and just reposted it here. I think the guys name was SilverEdge or something like that. But yeah, I'm not trying to take credit for those.

I'm not so sure that baby choco pic is cute. It looks like it's head is a helmet. :/ I like the other pics though.

Exciting stuff, I guess! Woo Chocobos.

Those pictures are quite disturbing.

1. That is obviously a Chao from the Sonic Adventure series, dyed yellow and put into FFXI to keep them from going extinct.

2. Living in Vanad'iel is really a gilded cage; in this second shot we see something that we are normally shielded from- a chocobo heaving over his 'purging barrel' after gorging himself on Gysahl Greens. He hasn't been treated for digestive parasites btw.

3. The true nature of the yellow chocobo is shown. In a friendly foot race, he feels the need to mock the black chocobo, understandably pissing him off. The Elvaan in the background just found a golden ticket to Willtaru Wonktaru's chocolate booth. He could give a flying crap about the grotesque display of chocobo racism unfolding before him.

This post has awesome written all over it. Especially #2, which had me laughing for quite a while.

Thank you, thank you. One of my rediculous ramblings actually got somebody's giggle box going. Besides my own I mean.

I ramble ridiculously like this in game a lot. Except no one ever gets it. Mostly I just get O.o and ... from people. No one ever finds the absurd amusing.

On a more serious note...

I'm interested in the fatigue system for digging. I wonder if that will effect dig-bots.

I'm wondering about a lot of things.

The sizes of the chocobos seem the same, despite the way different breeds' sizes and colors were supposed to go together. I wonder if the size of your choco will depend on the size of your character, while the color and accompanying abilities rely on breeding.

I doubt it, but how in the world could a Galka or large Elvaan breed and ride a Green Jennet? Chocobos have always been sized to fit our PCs. If a Taru raises a giant, black Destrier, when he calls him for a ride (if the animation looks anything like renting a choco at a crag) he would have to shoot up 7 feet into the air just for the bird to appear.

So many questions.

I'd assume it would. Or at least, I'd hope.

I wonder if RMT will go to the trouble to raise them at all? We all know that they will try and get a strangle-hold on Chocobo Eggs if the way to obtain them ends up being limited, but I wonder if they will bother to raise them.
