Finally found the Chocobo "Job" bardings - VERY disappointed

[TeaTimeBear]

Well my bird is screwed.. Seems like many of us spec'd into more than one tree. Great, thanks for letting us know this SE. Why couldn't they just add them as tome purchases. :/

I mean, what were y'all expecting? To be able to equip your WHM barding on your Tank chocobo? C'mon now...

[TrickedOutHoro]

And here I was thinking this feature couldn't possibly get any worse. Silly me.

[Phe]

It's utter mockery!

Hmm, given the tank and dps bardings that have been shown in this thread so far.. I have to say I am rather disappointed. I thought they were suppose to be job specific bardings (whm, blm, pld, etc.). Instead we get generic looking tank, dps armor. Haven't seen the healer one yet, but if it isn't Whm barding then it isn't what I was lead to believe. And judging from the other pictures, I have no reason to believe it will be Whm barding at this time. Even though they have already shown Blm, Whm, Drg, and other job barding in the Tour of Eorzea videos.

I have only one thing to say.
Lame.

Edit: Just saw the pic with the Whm and Blm armor. So.. now I'm curious. How does the game differentiate from the Blm and "Drg" bardings considering there is only one dps path for chocobos?

maybe you get them both?

That dosnt help the fact that there are only 3 job bardings for the birds, and what 8 different jobs? Why would I want to be on a WHM mount when my main is a PLD?

What 8 jobs? The last time I checked there are only 3 roles/jobs for Chocobo.
SE show 3 job bardings, SE bring 3 job bardings, the complain start.

I had no idea these were even implemented into the game yet :O I honestly don't understand all the negative talk in this thread, this is awesome news.

Your not understanding what iam saying, Iam a PALADIN and i want my bird to have the MATCHING PALADIN BARDING, i did not say i want the bird to be a tank for me

You're not understanding FFXIV. You are more than a Paladin. You are every job. Some things are designed to take a very long time to complete and by the time you reach lvl 10 Choco, you will have more than 1 job at 50. So if you're a paladin already, level up a couple of DPS jobs with your choco tanking for you. This is how you earn your matching tank choco barding for your paladin.

in XI we had colored chocobos, you could match your mage job (shameless self promoting a pic I did 5 years ago)
