Regarding Chocobo Dyeing.

Now look, before people start screaming "People only just started testing it out!" "Give it some time" or "All these people today just whine and want things handed to them". Can we all just look at how this system works?

It's just not fun, it's just a lot of waiting and hoping. Thats it.

If you plan on getting the fruits yourself you have to grow them, which takes, what? 2-3 days if you only tend them with no fertilizer?

Then you harvest and begin feeding your Chocobo which you then have to wait AND keep your Chocobo stabled for 6 Hours.

Now if all goes well, awesome, you have the Color you want and your done. However if you dont you either have to get more fruit and adjust it or buy/grow a Lemon and start over. Both option will take another 6 Hours.

It's just not fun, especially now that people are discovering variables and even RNG.

The only real involving thing in this is getting the seeds which you have to get seals to buy. Then once you plant them it becomes a lot of waiting.

SE I know you're trying to create interesting ways to do things but not everything needs to be this over complex system of RNG and Variables. You could just give us fruit that dyes the feathers X Color and feeding it would take an hour or two for the change to complete.

You could still have it be from Gardening and thats it, but all this "Darkens/Lightens Hue" stuff simply feels like a little much.

It does feel overly complicated and it also seems to punish people in larger FCs who don't necessarily have the clearance to use the garden.

I ran out immediately after patch to buy some seeds to donate to the FC only to discover they were untradeable and thus, useless, until personal housing. Luckily the officers have decided on a temporary system for the chocobo fruits so two of my seeds are growing. Although right after I planted them someone posted a link to pictures of dyed chocobos and I found out that I didn't want white (not crisp and clean white so, ugh), and the royal blue I wanted doesn't use either of the fruits I planted. =_=
