Additions and Adjustments to Chocobo Raising (09/25/2006)

[Haggai]

Soon players can expect more from care plans and experience a variety of new chocobo colors and appearances. Chocobo raisers have a lot to look forward to in the next version update!

Changes to Care Plans and Direct Care
Chocobo attributes will soon increase at a greater rate when using care plans. In addition, several additions and adjustments will be made to direct care, and a measure to wake the chocobo up while sleeping will also be introduced.

New Chocobo Colors
In addition to the existing yellow, black, and blue, two new chocobo colors will be added. Players will be able to enjoy a maximum of chocobo variety in the next version update!



Changes to Chocobo Appearance
Soon, chocobo appearance will slightly change according to attributes. This will not alter the chocobo's appearance completely, but rather will reflect certain strengths that the animal has acquired during the chocobo raising process. For example, a highly intelligent chocobo's head may appear different than that of a normal chocobo, and a speedy chocobo may be distinguished by its sturdy legs.

*Please note that a chocobo that you are already raising will not suddenly change color or appearance with this version update.

Yay red! But now I gotta start a new choco to try and get one ; ; Oh well, I really want a red one...and when it says:

For example, a highly intelligent chocobo's head may appear different than that of a normal chocobo,

Does that mean it's gonna have a giant head? XD That'd be so funny looking, running around with a big-headed Choco...but I'm guessing maybe the eyes and feathers will look kinda more...I dunno, cooler looking? Kinda calm and stream-lined, I have a picture in my head and can't quite describe it. :x

I don't like chocos another color other than yellow, so I would've preferred different tones of yellow acording to their stats instead.



*Hopes he gets a Classic-Yellow choco*

I'm working on a formula to get a Palfrey.. sadly it will take 16 real life days to figure out if I succeeded or not, I worked on a plan to get one. And I'll see if it works or not ^^.If it does I'll post the formula/method I used.

I think Palfrey's would be made with zergham carrots. Since it affects the mind. Chocobos from Windurst would also benefit from being good diggers due to the story of "A Youthful Chocobo". That's my theory atleast. I plan to make my chocobo eat Zergham carrots on my next chocobo.

Weeeaaak, so the red and green chocobos aren't even possible yet? I feel really bad for anyone who's spent money trying to figure out how to get those colors.

lol, I don't feel bad. Just re-read the info about the chocobo's before the update for them was released. They specifically stated that the first update would only have 2 new colors, with other colors to come later.

I kind of though it would be intresting to see chocobo's in 8 colors. 1 color for each element.

Red -> Light Blue -> Green -> Yellow -> Purple -> Dark Blue -> White -> Black

Re: Additions and Adjustments to Chocobo Raising (09/25/2006)

I missed that information or just forgot about it. Not so bad since the one I was most interested in was blue, but the point is rather moot since I didn't stumble on the way to raise it blue anyway.

Re: Additions and Adjustments to Chocobo Raising (09/25/2006)

I believe the way they're going to have stats change the appearance of your choco is the color on the head, beak, legs and tail feathers. I remember reading in a couple of the updates that this was in the works.

Example:
Choco has a high intelligence - crown feathers are white
Choco has a high strength - legs are light brown

All speculation, of course, but I'm sure if I did search through previous update announcements I could find it. Just lazy at the moment.

Man, Red Chocobo sure is ugly.

Looks a little like an ibis's coloring. Still, I like that look much more than the one that looks like he bathed in cherry Kool-Aid.
