Chocobos, airships, and the main city

Chocobos ftw

any news when ffxiv gets chocobos airships and companions

Yes please, we need these badly.

We should get chocobos. They should also implement a chocobo race, and make it so that players can participate in the race, and bet on the participants.

I think as soon as they open up Ishgard we'll be able to use both.... may not be until PS3 release though.
Incoming airship pass and chocobo license quests?

I would love having chocobos as personnal mounts, with different kind that you could unlock/purchase. It's probably a dream but this could be great ^^

Chocobos aren't going to fix the game, neither are airships. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy having them! D=

I want chocobos. a simple transport service gil-dependent would be a good start

I am expecting Auction House, Chocobos, Airships and a new job or two as their trump card for PS3 launch as well as to draw back PC players around the same time. I don't expect em anytime soon, but I sure hope I am wrong.

I hope that when chocobos and other forms of transportation is released, that the teleport system is removed. I am not fond of the feature.

Well you can of course just not use the feature when chocobos are added, if you don't like it. I doubt its going anywhere.

I wouldn't go that far. One of my great annoyances in FF11 was having to track down a White Mage to teleport me somwhere, then mount a chocobo, then run to the city I was going to. Especially Bastok with its "around your rear to reach your elbow" zone design. I stopped hating the transportation system when they added teleports via cities, and that is maybe what needs to be done--restrict "free-for-all" teleporting to aetherytes, but allow you to teleport to your favored destinations anywhere. This way you have a reason to use chocobos without making the game monstrously inconvenient to get around.

Chocobos , yes please! I want to breed my own tho, that was fun :) Chocobos are one of the things that make Final Fantasy what it is, need them asap. And love the idea of personal armor for your own chocobo.

Keep anima but make it an increased cost, implement Chocobo's, breeding, racing. Leave airships for now until Ishguard opens, then I will be a happy lallafell!

Give me my chocobo naw, and i will be happy with anything you do to the game.

I seriously want chocobos. As off today we can only see them in the stables. There should be chocobos in the wild, maybe a chocobo forest or something where you can capture them.

Chocobo's please ^^

While i'm not sticking to the idea of rideable chocobo's and airships here, I had the idea of another means of transport that would remove the tedium of running to places. I would suggest a 'Carriage' system using the model shown in the Ul'Dah introductory video and have it running between Ul'Dah's main gate and a point just south of Gridania using a similar timetable as the ferry from Thanalan to Limsa. All that would need to be done is to put the carriage in an instanced environment and people can treat it as they do the ferry, craft away the time or go afk.

A second idea would be a second ferry service running from Limsa to a point in the eastern Black Shroud, the world map seems to suggest this could also be viable.

I can't express the amount of times I have seen people in general chat, pick up parties or my LS curse and spit all sorts of venom from the lack of chocobos in the game. When the are added I hope you give us the ability to name them and dress them (via armor, LS chevron on the saddle or even just some painted symbols like American Indians did with their horses) for sake of customizing.

There was a class called "Sheperd' discovered in old beta files. I would not be surprised if this class turns out to be a Chocobo Shepard, aka a new DoL job heavily involved with the chocobos themselves. AKA you want to ride, you equip the Job item and can now ride one. But we shall see.

I hope when they do add it they can add a quest to gain chocobos kinda like how they did in ff11 but hopfully not too much find x amount of items quest , could make it involve chocobos and how they came to be in the world.

Personal Airships would be sweet. I agree that we need these types of elements in FF, like yesterday!

well i would like to see the chocobo's as well, a freind of mine who plays world of warcraft and has heard me talk about the game said to me that if they want to make the FF14 community happy then they should add mounts customizable or not makes no difference, it would bring back so many people to the game and would make the game so much more accesible and fun to play, reading these posts its obvious that a majority of the players want another means of transportation, i know the games free to play at the moment but this is something that everyone wants.

A FF game where you can't even ride chocobos, it's ridiculous and to make it even worse the zones are freakin huge. It's like square do it on purpose just so they can laugh at us. Seriously how hard is it to put rideable chocobos in the game?

Give it time friends, Rome nor Santa Claus's North pole wasn't built in a day.
Yoshi just got in the hot seat and is probably way ahead of you on this fact.
I feel this MMO will make its come back and be every bit what FFXI has been.

Please give the team time.

+1 This stuff is sorely missed. Anima teleport has no place in my FF.

I'd really like to see chocobos soon as well, not only for the 'FF Feeling' but simply for exploration purposes. FFXIV does not allow for sneak or invisible spells atm, and exploring the world can be annoying. It would be fun to explore some of the more...scary corners of Eorza from the safety of a chocobo's back. ^^'

I agree with the 3... and have a fourth. Give the moogles a more important role in the game, like in FFXII. Also, I think FFXII moogles are the cutest ^^

Teleporting works great, but it's not fun like a Chocobo is. Also, Chocobos aren't limited, anima is. I hope I can ride them soon or hear at least some good news about them being added in the world. It sucks too, because I think FF XIV has the coolest looking Chocobos in the entire series, closely resembling the XI counter-parts.

~Kweh~

I agree about the "ride, breed and race" point, and I think it adds a lot to the game even as just mini-games. Even stand-alone FF titles on consoles used racing as a fun mini-game. An addition of the utility of riding and the time-killing of breeding and racing would add a lot and as much attention as they've given to gathering classes, this could be a class in its own-- "Chocobo Breeder", or something.

One side note, chocobos aren't "free" per say. Anima costs time (to regenerate), chocobo costs money (to rent/breed/feed). Granted, money is ezmode in this game, but they could always accommodate to that by making it more expensive.

Yes Please Chocobos! With Airships following a close second!

I think going back to the franchise's roots as far as implementing a personal/Linkshell/company airship would be great. In the old games the Airship was a mode of transportation your base of operations and your home away from home. It was fun to explore the decks of the ship and talk to the characters on board. Personalized chocobo mounts? Yes Please!

I would love to be able to ride a chocobo again...even better would be the option to raise my own like in FF11.

You guys really need to add chocobos and such. I would use a freakish amount LESS anima if you guys added them into the game. I would want to play the game alot more as well. For breeding and race I think those would be great mini games to add to the game, and dont forget colors! Maybe some chocobo armor as well. Your own chocobo mount and friend needs armor to protect it as well!

+1, Chocobos are necessary. I'm very tired of being out of Anima.

Honestly I dont know why it wasent implemented in the fist place.
For me Airship and specially chocobo is a big part of FF franchise.

I'm sure the fanbase will create a main city of their own the same way the bazaars of Rolanberry in XI were popped into being, I'd like more cities overall than one "adventurer's city" acting as a hub, but It'll happen nonetheless, I'm beginning to see it in Uldah on Lindblum server.

I know Airships and Chocobos are coming soon enough. I'm fine with waiting until they release them myself. I've seen tons of airship docks all over the place and I'm curious to see what's planned for them. >.> I'm guessing it's something to do with that floating-tower battle thingy from some of the early trailers for FF14.

Personally, I also love the instant tele option when I'm playing solo or being able to piggy-back on someone's tele. One thing I always hated on FFXI was getting replacement people to your camp in timely fashion....or someone not having some telepoint unlocked....one replacement takes so long getting there another person leaves meaning everyone just wasted their' time. :/

Chocobos is a good solution.

CHOCOBOS + breeding would be a very good addition. Also, we need some sort of a giant airship casino of some sort, for players to play cards and gamble against each other for gil and equipment ;D

Even just a choco-wagon from Uldah to the ferry and back would make me happy. . .

It's not like they don't already have the npcs and Choco-wagons already in-place. <_>

Also, iirc the opening cutscene for the Uldah starting mission is your character on a Choco-wagon. . .

ijdk :/
