Hidden room, accessible through the market wards entrance >.>

Can I sacrifice RMT Lalafell to my Chocobo? I will call him Boko, the destroyer of worlds.

Hmm..maybe? But remember the cutscene of the 2 Lalas from the mining guild that called their chocobos? They did not use a whistle. They used their fingers as whistles....interesting if we can do that in game like a clickable "Call your chocobo" icon and then an animation of your character using fingers to call the chocobo... now that more realistic looking and not boring as having an "issued-whistle" that's too predictable :)

would be interesting if they did something like pokemon...you had to have your chocobo aquire a certain skill to get to a new area or something...cut, surf, etc.

I wonder what's the purpose of walking beside your chocobo?

It sounds like chocobos will have some unique purpose to them in XIV after all.
Can't wait.

My wish from SE:
I want you to be able to raise your own chocobo.
Taking care of it.
Train it to gain higher speed, longer riding-time, easier to find items while digging, and be able to give it color and armour.

Later on I would also like a Chocobo Knight job, and a racing job.

Don't mean to be rude or anything but this is not even remotely related to the question asked in this thread... He wasn't asking what the benefits of doing grand company quests were... he wanted to know more about the personal chocobo system as in can we raise them or do we just buy them once and keep them forever.

If you wanted to be vague about that you could have said something in the lines of "Personal Chocobos can get quite personal" or something like that... Instead of saying something really off topic but thx anyways for the effort.

He could have been saying that as you do quests the chocobo gets things, like the armour, abilitys or faster anything.

It would be nice if we could make gear for our own chocobos. That would be nice to see and participate in as well. However, I am more than happy to be able to ride them. Anima would finally have time to replenish.

Yoshida just posted a pretty epic teaser to whet everyone's appetite for more chocobo information!

I am very impressed with everyone's ideas for Chocobos! As I have stated before, we are working on the Chocobo growth system, but implementation may take longer than expected. (We are planning on implementing some gear for Personal Chocobos in patch 1.20. :))

Final details will be revealed prior to the patch release, but here are a few teasers for you all:

Rental Chocobos will be rented using gil. Prices will be very low, even players under rank 20 will be able to easily afford one.

Rental Chocobos can be used for limited periods of time, so they will serve as short-term transportation supplements.

Personal Chocobos will have no recast timer. (They can be called instantly, unless you are being attacked!)

The use of Personal Chocobos is unlimited. (You can ride them for as long as you want!)

Both types of Chocobos can be attacked by enemies while you ride them.

If you receive too much damage while you are riding a Chocobo, you will be knocked off the Chocobo.

We are currently working on the speed of the Chocobos. (There will be no speed difference based on the character’s race.)

The sizes of the Chocobos will be different based on the character’s race.

Rental and Personal Chocobos will have different appearances and different background music.

That’s about it. Since Personal Chocobos will become the basis of the Mount System, they have no recast timers and no riding time restrictions. However, they can be attacked by powerful monsters.

I hope you guys can ride the Chocobos well!

Sounds awesome.

But the world wants to know: When can I ride a Nannygoat?

Interesting. Although small bummer I can't use my choco to reach areas I have never been before (due to dangerous mobs). Oh well, still happy for chocos.

With how useful personal chocobos seem, I could see them drastically downplaying anima *gasp* .

Being attacked while on chocoback - first time in franchise history? XD

Different background music, eh? I wonder which type will get this theme?

My bet is on the personal ones. It's too epic to give to the rentals. :cool:

Well, it will, after I finish working on this D&D campaign I'm designing. >_> (and getting PUP seals in FFXI)

Don't see this as a bad thing. :P

With chocobos and airships, I can see myself only using Anima whenever I need to get somewhere quickly, like if I need to catch up with LS members for an event.

I think it was a bug but in the early days of FFXI you could be attacked on a chocobo, this was before NA release, so not technically, but as I said I think it was a bug.

So yes it would be the first intended time you can be attacked on a Chocobo, will be quite interesting how it works, will there be a seperate health bar for the chocobo and when it hits 0 you get knocked off, a visual representation of the time before you are knocked off would be useful.

And imma have to get a personnal chocobo no restrictions ftw, and I would expect the gear for them in 1.20 will let them take more hits probably.

Early on in XI you were able to be hit on chocobo. Was mostly running past mobs as they aoe'd though or a mob engaged to your party.

You can use our stables for 500g
you can borrow one of our rental chocobo for 150g
Sorry they come in the default color of yellow (It takes too long to breed other colors yo)
Oh and if you want to call them, take this whistle (did I mention it costs 10k to get another and 1000 for refills?yeeeaaaa)
Oh and when you're traveling they have a time limit, you can't run them forever, they're animals y'know!
Don't forget to feed them every (insert hours here) they get hungry
Dress them!? HA! you can't do that until the next update!
