Seriously SE? I just can't believe this, when you guys first showed off concept art and then videos of them in the trailers I was jumping for joy thinking each job will get their own Chocobo barding, but then I finally learn that the only there are only THREE Chocobo Job Bardings in the game.

If you reach rank 10 with all points in the same tree you will unlock the job barding specific to that.

Healing gets WHM
Tank gets PLD
DPS gets DRG or BLM? Not sure

This is pure insanity and just stupid, why would I as a tank want to get a bird to 10 to get the PLD armor for my bird, iam now stuck with DRG or BLM only as I went dps on my bird.


Why???

They are planning to release an item to reset your chocobo's SP placement in an upcoming patch. Probably for seals like the Hymn of the Keeper item.

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?

That Tank one is very cool looking!

Does anyone have a pick of the DD one?

From what I can gather, it is the chocobo's (maxed) job and not the player character's job which defines what the chocobo can wear(Healer - White Mage, for example.). And now I'm regretting the specs on my chocobo. Hopefully the ReSpec option will be available in 2.1 or there will be an bird-of-all-trades barding option.

Why would you want a tank Chocobo when you're a tank yourself?

This is kinda....yeah. It takes how long to get a chocobo to max rank? What if you went into more than a single tree? Why did they show off barding for just about job before the game launched(think bard was the only one without), and yet when the game launched we only get 3 of them? It's pointless beyond belief that we can't chose the barding our chocobo gets to match our jobs. I can understand the rank 10 requirement to an extent just to add some kind of grind to the bardings, but only 3 of them made it?

I don't get any of the bardings cause I started off by putting one point each into tank, healing and dps Here's hoping for a respec option sometime down the road!

[Amyas]

But they've shown Blm barding before yeah?

So there have to be more than these three...
