An idea for a future Class/Job

Woot thread icon has turned blue! I can only imagine that means something. XD

Bumped due to not enough views.

(Yeah, that's an excuse)

bump

wark wark

Too bad only the useless posts on this forum get lots of views :-(
This one is something that would make the game most popular mmo ever..

Dunno about most popular, but with chocobos coming really soon I expected at least a little bit of positive input. Especially since it's a post that doesn't whine and complain about things.

The world of suggestions and ideas has been invaded by the world of complaints and arguements.

Yeah.. like that post about SE hiring... that gets population.. And it does not have anything to do with XIV..
Too bad i'm not on your server. XIV could use some more polite and fun people that are really interested in the game like you. :-)

A few people think of me differently XD

But as my friend once said to me, "You are like marmite, people either love you or hate you, but at least that makes choosing your friends easier."

Lol no kidding, I used to think that on Warcraft. If they'd made me a GM half the servers population would be wiped out within a day, mostly for legitimate reason too (roleplay server using none roleplay name like "roflpwnadin" etc.)

Don't think I'd be harsh on these forums though, the majority of people are good people with good views and opinions. I accept that people aren't ever going to see eye-to-eye and have different opinions on things, the only ones I don't accept are the odd ones that happily throw abuse at the devs and other people just for them expressing their own opinions and viewpoints or ones screaming that the game is no good, . I mean seriously, if they don't like it they shouldn't play it, you don't stick your hand in a fire knowing it'll burn you but do it anyway. I don't like Call Of Duty, so I don't play it, I don't sit around on their forums shouting that their game is crap.

lol :D That would be funny...
Make an account on the forums of EA and tell em i don't like the sims :D

But yeah i do hope SE will make something big around Chocobo's.
I love them so :D

It's an interesting idea, Liked.

Makes sense Chocobo in 11 could Dig why not turn it into a DoH job -- could dig / scavenge from grass - dirt
pull up btn and miner mats or w/e

Very nice idea, very well thought out. I dont know about making it a class, but who knows! :O

Kinda off topic but related, the reps only work Monday through Friday, Pacific Time, I believe (Or central?). They might be seeing your topic from home, but an official response might not come 'till Monday or beyond.

I know but I've had this thread in the forums all week, problem is it keeps dropping off the front page 'cos of all the other threads.

Still, the thread has been labelled 'hot topic' now so I'm getting hopefull at least for a response :D

And thanks for the likes, it all helps to make this idea get noticed ^.^

@Fallenraine - That's not a bad idea, I hadn't played FFXI enough to know how chocobos worked (or even get one to begin with), but I could see them digging to get materials. though since we already have mining and botany, I can't see how a chocobo could dig up anything different from those two, so it'd be a bit odd to have it as a gathering class that can get identical materials to another. Still you never know.

Ah well, I have an idea for another class/job now too (I get fully developed ideas on them about once a week :p) It's gonna be a battle-based class this time too, with an interesting twist ;)

So after I've had a nap, I'll be posting a new thread to describe my idea for a 'Reaper' class :D

Konata, il just copy your whole wall of text to my wishlist, ok? :D (I haven't even read through it yet, but i love it ^^)

I came to think of something Konata, if we as harvester could easily get a chocobo, no many chocobos wild, wouldnt it be a bit easy? Lets for example Say that you have to run the chocobo to the nearest city all on yourself, and on the way the chocobo may choose to do different things and mini-games will pop up to counter them. If you succesfully get the chocobo to a city it is yours. As you get higher level, it will be easier to get better chocobos, and as you do these mini-games your exp will go up. Like the idea? :)

However if you know of a job in the gaming industry for someone who simply comes up with ideas and writes them down, please let me know what it's called so I can try and find + apply for one XD

This is the hardest part for a programmer, people like you are almost just as important as those who put the ideas to life :)

I can already picture a chocobo sitting on a throne in the middle of Black Shroud with a crown on his head saying "Ah good to see you old chap, how goes the adventuring?" in an olde English accent.

The image makes me cringe more than trying to eat an entire packet of Swizzles Sour Candy all at once.

Fat chocobo could speak in some of the games! :D

Too say it this way, people get scared of a wall of text, might be the reason people dont read it. Also, this is the first time i see the post when clicking "new posts" button, and i do that quite often :P I love all the ideas though ^^

Even if I LOVE the idea, and I would kill to see it implemented in FFXIV.... I rlly dont want to get any kind of hopes on...


They took a WHOLE year to implement just a chocobo (A mount that every single MMO has... even the cheap ones)... now imagine if they were to implement your idea... it would take ages...

Well, they have promised chocobo breeding (in 3 patches or osmething i think it was?) We will most likely need some stables, then just adding the stuff Konata said should work. Having breeder as a class is a great idea, this means you can choose to train chocobos over time like you would have done with any other class. Too bad we get personal chocobos before we get the breeding xD

That would make this game sooooooooooooo popular :D

Hmm, maybe another idea would be to be able to buy a "chocobo egg" trait for gatheres after having done the tutorial about breeding, then we wouldnt need a new class. With the chocobo egg trait we would get a chance of harvesting chocobo eggs from nodes, the easiest one to get from would be botany of course. Mining would maybe get you ancient chocobo eggs, with different forms and colors from other stuff, from fishing we could find eggs at the bottom of the sea, they would be good swimmers ^^ (when that comes out)

Thanks for the input everyone ^.^

It did occur to me that being able to breed chocobos immediately would make it a little too easy to get hold of one to ride around on, but then I thought when you're only a level 1 breeder and get your first chocobo to ride, it would only be able to run very slightly fast than your base run speed, like only 10% faster or something and it'd take a while to get it's run speed up more.

If anything your first few chocobos would be mostly a cosmetic/fun thing to do, it wouldn't be till you started to hit around level 20+ that you'd have a chocobo that'd have a significantly higher running speed (like 50%+). This would match other crafting classes where the first stuff you can craft is mostly level 1-9 and can easily be outlevelled, and some time and effort is needed to get it high enough to make stuff that would keep up with how fast your battle class levels.

@ Arlekiel: Mostly the reason chocobos took so long to impliment is because they've been over-hauling the entire game as well as adding content. Once they've finished fixing the game up around 1.21ish, we'll be seeing a lot more new content being added as the dev team can focus on making the game bigger instead of trying to make the core systems work properly.

And yeah it would be a lot of content to add, which is why I thought it'd be better to add in as an expansion pack. A patch that had all the stuff I mentioned in would be like, 2-3gb or more which wouldn't be very good for players who don't have fast connections.

They have already mentioned in the past something about a system that will let us either breed or raise chocobos and maybe even sell them. I don't know if that idea got thrown out the window but hopefully it did not.

I really enjoy your ideas. I've only read through it halfway (you really did put a lot of effort into this o.o!) but so far, I love it. Your idea of chocobo breeding gives the DoH/DoL jobs a new purpose.
Side note - love your signature, it's adorable!

Kona- I like your idea, but I would like other stuff to be implemented first... like more stats. I could see this as more part of an expansion pack.

PS* might be to complicated as well ;)

Thanks ^.^

Yeah it wouldn't be something I'd expect in the super-near future but was just something I thought of that perhaps the devs could consider further into the game to add diversity and more stuff the players could spend time doing.

@Msariel: These are the kinds of things that pop into my head on a daily basis. Most of what I wrote was thought up on-the-spot as I was typing. If I was to type out in detail all the job and class ideas I have the forum would be packed full of them XD

I refrain from doing that though so I can come up with an idea that not only has a great deal of detail but can also fit into the games lore and mechanics. as such even though I came up with a design for a class I'm about to type up called 'Reaper' I held back from creatign the thread for it untill I had it's operation developed in a way that fits in with the lore.

As for the sig, thanks :D It took an hour or two to make in photoshop and a lot of time spent messing with the camera and taking screenshots in-game to get just the right poses for the characters. Ren's pose was especially annoying 'cos the initial screenshot was taken as it was switching to night and looked kind of dark, but then suddenly the lights in Gridania came on and illuminated everything so I had to take the screenshot again XD

Well, if there was a Chocobo Breeder Class, there would be way more Chocos than adventurers to ride them so be prepared for the consequences:

Hot Chocobo Wings: ACC +5

Chocobo Cordon Blue: INT +5

Lemon Glazed Choco Breast: VIT +5

Konachi Fried Chocobo: STR +5

Would probably help Culinarians tremendously with sought after Meals plus they can sell all the Colored Feathers to crafters for Magic Arrows (...You have learned Chocobo Plucking technique).

Lol I hadn't thought of that. Would also make getting chocobo feathers easier to make fishing flies :p

Righty.

A link to my reaper class idea has been added to the opening post. Let me know of your thoughts and opinions in that thread, and I'll update it with the job description and extra stuff as I get round to them. I'd do it now but I'm hungry, haven't eaten all day XD

And here's the link too for those that can't be bothered to go back to the first page :p
Reaper Class

Did not really read through your full post cause I don't wanna get my hopes up, but i would like to point out that Choco Breeder would be more like a rancher which is more like DoL than DoH.

How about

Konachibi Breeder
I think you know what this class is all about and it's about to get hot and heavy in Eorzea.

Yeah I noticed, I was actually typing a message in it at the time.

Guess it was gonna happen sooner or later, the topic was a teenie bit on the vague side so the forum admins probably took a while to decide if we'd gone off topic or not.

Which also means don't go going off-topic in this thread or they'll shut this too and then I'll be a sad chocobo :(

Go chocobo breeder idea!

Link to Off topic idea. Everyone should take a gander at this :)
