Say NO to Rent a chocobo and yes to buying permanent one

[hordecore]

and i could care less about breeding hell the amount of time you spend on the virtual chocobo isnt worth it 1-3 months really?! if i wanted to raise a chicken i would've bought real one but its hard to raise a chick in real life and now you want us to take of virtual big bird how about you just give us lifeless NPC mount that doesnt need caring and help promote exploring vanadiel with permanent chocobo mount


this chocobo wagon was taken from ff game dont u think it would be more fun riding with ur friends?

I really hate to be one of "Those" people. But it sounds like you would really enjoy "World of Warcraft", Not "Final Fantasy XI". You should consider a change of Scenery

whats wrong with improving the game even if the ideas from other games i just thought it would be helpful for new players traveling around and those who love exploring

The Problem is we have means to do that already. Its called Rent-Chocobos, and Personal Chocobos. you're talking about completely removing and bypassing both system to implement nothing more than a Glorified WoW-Mount System.

Theres nothing Wrong with improving the game, however this doesn't need Improving. Rent-a-Chocobos are like, ~250. The only thing i can agree with in your comment is that the Time it takes to raise a Personal-Chocobo is absurd. It should really be lowered.

And really, Its not about you per-say, Sometimes an MMO just isn't for said person. Some people Will Enjoy WoW more than FFXI, and vice-versa, Just judging by all your threads I'm only suggesting you might be more Happy with WoW, they have half the things you suggest, it seems like the game for you.

Also, Being able to call Personal Chocobos in more locations wouldn't be bad either.

I don't know - raising a choco only has to be a 1 time investment of time - after that you can call it with your whistle/refill the whistle as much as you want.

Yeah three months is a fairly long time but I don't mind and it doesn't actually take that long (per day) in terms of time investment. I mean taking care of my baby choco takes like 10 minutes. There is a heck of a lot in this game that takes longer.

I just wish I could raise it in the choco stables in Jeuno instead of in 3 cities. I don't like having to hang out in basty all the time.

I have to agree with Karbuncle, judging from several threads the OP has made, you seem to think FFXI is hard. And you would rather have things as easy as possible and not have to work for things you want. In that case, FFXI really isn't the game for you. It's not hard, but for a lot of things it requires time and effort (and a bit of luck) to obtain what you want.

As for rent chocobos, it's nothing that needs fixing. It's not a broken part of the game in any way, the quest to obtain the chocobo license is easy, fee is low (250ish gil) - and even though a lot has changed about FFXI since abyssea, it hasn't made it harder for new players to get their chocobo license.

Honestly they should have sellable chocobos for people who don't want to spend the time to raise one.

am not saying FFXI is hard there is difference between wasting time and having fun honestly i see many things in FFXI that look like real life chores and many of chores made FFXIV a big failure

At the heart of it, it's not a bad idea. Why not have breeders in the same way there are crafters? If someone could breed/raise me a rapid choco that has the bore ability I'd pay through the nose for it.

Maybe it could work off selling the chococards then registering that with a VCS dude to link it to your whistle??
How much would you charge?!

[Zumi]

The thing is having your own chocobo has been out for awhile. SE could release sellable ones, or like someone said make people who bread them able to sell them to other people.

Say if you bought it from a NPC for example it would have like average speed not fast like the top breaded ones.

Everything in FFXI doesn't have to be a painful grind this just would make things easier on people. A lot of people don't want to invest huge amounts of time to playing a video game each day.
