That was some of the most obnoxious junk I've ever heard in my life.

KAZOO DE CHOCOBO!!!!!!!!!

Chocooooooooboooooooooooo!

I like how the GC Chocobos have the GC flag.

Also, people, please remember this is the first stage of Chocobo implementation. It has been stated multiple times that Yoshi-P wants to add the ability to walk along side and fight with Chocobos. I think some of the people people complaining know this and are just trolling.

I wish they would consider my chocobo breeder and hunter class I made a thread about :(

More chocobos = more win!

I agree the instant pop onto choco and it appearing from no where is a bit trash, very cheap and reminds me of how they dont have any love for the work they do.

An animation would of been a lot better and have it run from a direction your camera is not face, giving the impression its ran to you, like the good old days.

/em does Veruca Salt impression.......

*Stamps feet* I want it now!! :)

Anyone else notice the blue aetheryte node looking thing in the video out in the far distance? I saw it maybe twice in the background of some of the clips...just curious if thats blue fog related but I don't think it is....and its way to far to be a camp I believe.

Theory craft go.

Lots of people are ranting and raving wanting a NPC companion, how about a Chocobo companion!?

I think there's only one video to describe the awesome I've just seen.

Can't wait for the 1.19!!

Not a complaint by any means, but I had pictured in my minds eye that they would come running in(fading in) from a distance and there would be an animation of hopping onto them.

Can we get this at some point?

Pwease?

The owned chocobos are faster? Where did they say that? Sounds good and gives the players the motivation to do whatever we're required to do to unlock that.

They showed it subtlely. Check vid they show the rental npc and choco and it slow. Then they show the whistle animation and then fast chocos. SE and their subliminal messages. :(

The movie has rental chocobo music. Personal choco has different music.

Yay, finally my own chicken!

And of course, complaints about the animations. They'll never get anything done if people keep nitpicking everything apart.

Nah, it's more like "It'd be cool if..." so take it as a suggestion =)

I think they should of put the animation in! Who cares if we would have to wait even longer for 1.19 which people are eagerly waiting for it's release.

Very nice video, it is good to see that chocobos are very fast and look worthwhile to use over spamming anima. Looks like personal chocobos are faster than rentals.

Omgawdddd. I'm SO excited about this! I need my chocobos! :D And it definitely does look like the rental one is a little slower than the personal chocobo which is fine. I just hope the personal chocobo isn't going to be some long drawn-out, time-consuming quest... And I also hope it's soloable. :3

I don't mind that it has no animation, although... that would be something cool to add later. =)

I also hope the personal chocobo isn't drawn out like it was in XI... that was horrid when they introduced it, awesome but so horrid. People exploited the market on the food's at outrageous prices on top of the fact it too 30 days to actually get the full adult version... (No Thanks!) lol

Exploitation will happen even more in XIV than it did in XI, it was only "exploiting" In XI because gil was worth something in that game. You also forgot to mention the only reason to raise a personal chocobo was for a colored one and Racing (much like in FFVII) so of course it took actual days in an MMO setting. It was drawn out but in the end it was something you raised.

XIV is aiming to be the most casual and easy going MMO to be released, I highly doubt it would take more than a day if that for a personal chocobo, so have no worries.

I didn't mind have to raise and work for it. I just didn't like that it took 30 days... To me that was just a bit too long and a huge gil sink if you were really working for that super chocobo or that specific color you wanted. I did 2 and was broke and stopped trying after that XD... still have like 2-3 eggs sitting waiting to be hatched....

Why hasn't this been published on the main Lodestone page?

I have a feeling the video was uploaded a bit earlier than it was supposed to.

I'd like to see the system added in the coming months (maybe along with PS3) to get alternative colours/ or ones with ability's, but making the basic one just quests/marks based so people can chose to bother or not.

I think people are remembering the Chocobo animation in FFXI with rose tinted classes. Don't you remember the black screen and then popping up onto Choco back after using whistle?

SE are capable of making a 'running towards you animation' plus a cool 'mounting animation' even while running, but it looks like Yoshi-P made the decision to have insta-pop-mount-to-please-the-silver-spoon-fed-care-bare-hand-holding-WoW-spoiled-"takes too long to mount"-cry-babies. Yea, that's right, you know who you are!

We have also yet to see the dismount animation.

They've already stated that some forms of customization are coming. They said we'd be able to customize our personal chocobo's armor in 1.20 or 1.21, forgot which.

GEEZ, look at that Lalafell getting tossed around!

Would rather have choco's now without a "mount/saddle up" animation rather then having choco's pushed back altogether (Personal choco's weren't even suppose to come same patch as rentals if you remember from the initial plannings, that's a bonus in itself)! It's the same thing with other issues and items that have been released like being able to switch to passive/active now while running. Remember, if they try to do everything at once, they won't get anything done or released (Yoshi's words)! Hope they keep releasing stuff in stages like this :D

That's going to be added in later, already officially stated. I think it was around the 2nd or 3rd of July.

They're coming .. finally ç_ç

THIS THIS THIS THIS.

Make it happen, PLEASE.

Kweh!!!

Exciting.

I could care less about the animation, that's absolutely the least important part of the chocobo...

Now, getting from Ul'Dah front gate to my favorite farming spots in half the time... is GOLDEN.

Probably to hint that even if your chocobo is at X stables you can call it to different zones. Cant say I was excited about the music though. /cheer comming soon.

Pretty underwhelming that their is no actual chocobo mounting animation. Just a whistle and *poof* you're on a chocobo. It would have been cool to see one of your retainers come riding by and dropping it off for ya. Maybe even grab something from your retainer while he's there...

SQUEEEE!

I mean KWEEEEEEH!

Edit - I think my favorite part is how they use the whistle sound from FFVI when calling the bird. Nice throwback!

i want my HORSEBIRD!!!!

pretty sure the devs and QA also suggested the mounting animation; probably for 1.19 they working on fast work around to get the traveling problem solved (to some point) then once other main issues are settled or the animation division completes their main tasks they can work on this one.

JP side also asked for motions while on the chocobo, which I think is also a good idea to add in the future.

And i am sure you will be one of the first people to complain that it takes too long to call your Chocobo...
