In the Hall of Flames now and I can confirm that its 25k for the promotion and also 25k for the weapons DX

I think 25k is alright, I'm sitting on 42k and I do chocobo escort like every fortnight or so, and I bought 2 lvl 50 GC weapon (the Corporal rank ones), 2 Sergeant Weapons, all chocobo armour and other GC accessories. I know people who sit on 45k before the change in chocobo escort reward.
That's retarded, oh well back to seal farming I guess.
And by retarded, I mean SE finally gave people some longer term goals with clear-cut directions and not "random drop," that many people asked for.
Actually the chocobo is not "one of the pets" your chocobo will fall under a different system call the buddy system. No matter what class or job you are on through the buddy system you can raise and train your chocobo to fight along side you. The SMN job will be able to summon avatars and the such from the interviews that Yoshi has given.

In a game where there is little low level content, or content that doesn't require enormous investments of time to see a result, where exactly does Square Enix intend to move this game to?
As someone who travels a lot for work and is eager to pursue even small achievements in the game such as these GC weapons, charging 25,000 seals for both a rank and then per weapon is exactly the opposite of opening the game up to normal players.
When we reflect on the state of the game we currently have Garuda which, for the most part is inaccessible to the general player base, relics which (accurately) demand a large amount of attention and time investment and now the Grand Company weapons and equipment which push the players through monotonous game play. What good does this do for people who cannot play every day?
NP and I'll help you out a bit :P
