New Monster Family for Adoulin: Wild Chocobos

[Demon6324236]

Chocobos are adored by the inhabitants of Vana'diel, so they would never attack them! To turn them into enemies now would conflict with their very beliefs! So with that said, as of now, there are no plans to make Chocobos into a new monster family.

This may be true, but if you were to come across a wild Chocobo in the wilds of Adoulin, how would you defend yourself? Would an adventurer simply run from the battle? Chocobos are much faster, there is no way we could out run them, would we rather give our lives than battle a Chocobo? I think not, we are adventurers who travel the world doing many great things, we could not let it end in such a way.

I admit no one would generally just walk up and attack a Chocobo, but if one is attacking you, you must defend yourself. These unexplored wilds hold unknown enemies of all forms, Chocobos could easily be one of these unexpected dangers, and while people of Vana may not want to harm them, if any Chocobos survived all this time out there without any of us to help or care for them, by this point they must think of any other race as their enemy. Meaning we are now seen as a threat, and would be attacked in self defense to protect themselves, even if we mean no harm.

[Brightshadow]

True but they could be like pixies assisting random players in combat.

wait >.> weren't you able to battle chocobos in final fantasy X-2 and final fantasy XII? what much difference would that make here? the trickster in XII was one of the most trolling hunt marks you could take

[Leonardus]

Let's just pretend FFT and FFXII never happened then? I think Legend of Mana, too?

There are wild chocobos. "We would never want to attack them" could apply to any creature out there. The beastmen DRGs have their fair share of blue wyverns at their disposal. You know what happens when they attack me? I draw an axe and tear it down. That's right- The blue ones with the holy crest potential and all. Fact of Vana'dielian life I've learned to live with: Not all things are friendly.

If anything, wild chocobos would surely equal a future jugpet once they have battle animations and all, so... I support this thread. >.>b

It was mostly just Camate saying "not right now" with a cutesy reason attached. It's obviously not the primary reason they have no plans to implement wild chocobos into that expansion which is barely more than a month away from launching.

I'm sure if there was overwhelming desire from the majority of players (not just English speaking players, mind you), they would find some way to implement them.

And if we're going to be technical about this... Camate said they're adored by the inhabitants of Vana'diel. Not every Final Fantasy game takes place in the world of Vana'diel.

You mean Okipuit... :P

[Vagrua]

Just make a gold chocobo HNM like dark ixion that runs around new adoulin zones and make it sparkle like twilights vampires in sunlight. Choco meteor spam

[Yinnyth]

Yeah, sorry, Okipuit. Unfortunately for them, they're all the same person in my head...

The worst addition to any FF game was in 13 when the opening scene to arcalight steep where the big Lue killed a choco. And followed up in 13-2 where you had to fight chocos! /fume
