Chocobo raising preview!

Sounds like this is going to be a insanely long and expensive grind to gain almost nothing. I CAN'T WAIT!

Hmm...so raising is nothing like FFVII/FFIX/FFXI, just something to help increase their level?

I do not know what raising was in These games but if you talk about breeding: they said that would be part of a later patch (an upgrade to the stables)

Basically, with the exception of IX (it was a tad different) you raised Chocobos for breeding (eventually a golden chocobo in VII) and could raise certain chocobos for the racing, so you ended up focusing on the chocobo's stats. In FFIX your eventual goal was for raising for Hot&Cold/Treasure Hunting and to reach the Sky Garden to fight an optional super boss.

You also gained various colors through raising, which iirc they stated you can simply dye your chocobo in this game.

I saw something about a broom ..............................

Don't tell me it's the magic broom pet?

It's something different, not the minion.

Hope anyone that wants to do this has a garden to crossbreed in that they don't have to compete with others over. Big disappointment that most people won't even get to see.

Breeding come with golden saucer update

Another 3 weeks + crossbreeding super hardcore rare plants.
Yay my wallet's gonna take a nose dive if so :/

I don't know how I feel about the gardening stuff, it seems like it could get messy with a lot of people. It would be cool if we could have something like a flowerpot in our personal rooms where we could grow 1-2 items on our own though.
