What would it take to cross server chocobo racing. That is a very good idea :) Maybe just maybe the Gm will see this and consider cross racing ...

You should create a thread suggesting cross-world chocobo racing. It is a good idea and could make things less of a hassle to find a racing buddy.

Chocobo racing suffers from the same issue the other gold saucer games (Verminion, Triple Triad) have too. It was designed overly complicated and too time consuming. People wanted fun, easy to understand and above all quick mini games. Something you could do while waiting for a queue to pop or just to kill some time. Instead we got massive time sinks, huge grinds and game mechanics you need a guide to understand fully.
Some dedicated people put all that in and those are the ones who got maxed Chocobos, but the majority of players probably just quit long before that.

It's not about you, it is about me logging in and liking what I see and I like it. I didn't post this picture someone else did to embarrass me but it didn't work because i like this look. Do I care if you don't like it? no

I really wish they’d do some revamps on some older content to bring people back in. We have too many empty spaces. Like a long term event surrounding fates would be awesome too - like the Yokai Watch event. I’d never seen so many people in the open world doing fates together. It was great. Making things less of a grind like Chocobo Racing would really bri g it back to life - pr they could increase the rewards.

Well, in that case, the picture posted of her is appropriate. Leopards don't change their spots.

All dyed pure white, I think.

The legs look to dark to be pure white. Pretty sure the legs are Snow White.

They might be. The male version of the same piece dyes very strangely, with only part of it turning the actual color of the dye and the rest a weird off-shade, so I thought it might be the same on the female version.

Idk which I'm more amazed at: that you know the name of the glams or knowing exactly where they come from. Like each of them. I could never remember this stuff off the top of my head. I'd be like "yeah its that thing that looks like a coeurl but its not really a--hey wait, where are you going..."

I could be wrong, but couldn't you also look up their currently equipped gear on the Lodestone? Just find their character and it'll load up their last synced gear set?

Minigames are too complicated in FFXIV. That's why most of them failed and most people couldn't get into them.

>_> I did have to look up the harness in my crafting tab, if only because there are a dozen items that use that model, and I couldn't remember off the top of my head which one had the couerl print...

The Harness is also the only thing I wouldn’t know. The rest are common glam items people use.

Chocobo challenge racing on the upper tiers is insane. I'm currently stuck on the one with all the Heavy traps. Even if I have a bird that's not affected by Heavy, there's just no way to beat the NPCs, so I gave up.

you have to jump over the traps ^^ and winning is basically not part of training a chocobo. lose your way up to lvl 40, retire, breed, lose your way up to lvl 40, retire, breed...

i have a really good R300 chocobo now, but while i was leveling my chocobos for breeding, i almost never won anything...

Chocobo racing is E Z it neds a buff to make it hardur.

And the looks of another persons character is not about you, so maybe don't tell them to put a paper bag over their head? If you can't handle the backlash, don't dish out trash talk.

Edit: The way you show your defensiveness actually shows you do care.

That's basically it, that's why it's tedious more than difficult. If you wanna do it, at least slow paced, try to do only to complete your weekly challenge log for the MGP. The winning streaks usually happen at the begining of each new bird's registration, when your rating is low but your stats buffed with whatever food are high. Before retiring your bird, you can attempt to complete the Chocobo Challenges you can, it's a super sweet source of MGP.

Personally, it took me months to get my "perfect" bird. Using a bs build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8x2fxHI14c (Sorry for the quality). Pictures of said build on the description.

Well at any rate, it does make me glad that other people enjoy it so much. Even if the numbers are really low, I can respect that you climbed to be good at something others don't have interest in. :)

OMG this is so awesome haha..

You know I'd kind of like if somehow Chocobo racing was cross-server too. I got bored and ended up breeding a close to max stat Chocobo that I only race vs. the same old NPCs. Also the um...input lag or w/e it is that's specific to Chocobo racing is still there. Kind of shows you they don't care for it at all lol. SE needs to breathe life into the things they create, not neglect it and kill it off like with so much content in this game.

Card tournament rules could be a bit more diverse too. Always the same rotation. They should allow for unique rules that force us to use certain cards types and w/e for a tournament. Well I could really go on forever about things they could do for Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing. However, that's probably wasted in this thread. :P

I agree I like triple triad and even chocobo racing but the features are so dead feeling. You start to feel like you are just doing the same thing over and over and that gets boring.

Please before posting again understand the role of GM vs DEV and more so community.

Same, I got a bad inherited trait so there is no reason to bother with my perfect chobobo. Since I am dependent on RNG, I don't want to lose the use of a perfect one so I do not bother.
