No chocobo companion respec?

I was sure they were going to include this with 2.1. Did it not make it in this patch?

Alot of us were hoping they would, but to be fair it was never specified to appear in 2.1

The devs said that they are looking in it, not that it would be in 2.1

I'd be happy for more options for leveling your bird, there's only like 2 decent places in the game to do it.

Yes, there should be more areas for leveling the chocobo with a lv50 class.
Beastmen strongholds are lv49 and there is a area with lv 50 elementals. But we would need something with lv 53-55 for Player+Chocobo party.

I'd like to see em made in a mini armory type style - ie "chocobo" is their class, and attacker/defender/healer is their jobs, and all the 'job' specific stuff comes when you set it, rather than this odd choosing thing that lets people screw up their chocobos.
That or just give it 3 classes to level, and not worry about any job stuff. (Even if it is absurdly painful to level even once, it's still better than going to level 3 in all specs or something similar lol)

The whole luster of FFXIV is the ability to change classes just by changing a weapon. When describing crystal tower and addressing the communities concerns of 2.1 being a "backwards progression" patch, Yoshida said that CT would be great for people who want to gear up a 2nd or 3rd job/class.

With this kind of attention on the ease of switching jobs/classes, I'd say that an option to respec your chocobo is essential.

Heres my reasoning: If I am a tank, it would be logical that I would level my chocobo to either heal or DPS. As a healer, I'd want a tank bird (or again, dps). And as a dps, I'd want a healer or tank.

What happens if I gear up a healer, and now my bird is spec heals. Our permanent companion (and only companion), should be as liquid as we are in terms of filling in the different roles of the MMO triangle. LET US RESPEC THE BIRDS!

Was hoping they'd let us respec our chocobos in this last recent patch.

They refuse to even acknowledge this anymore, they have recently talked about letting us mount our chocobo while it's summoned possibly in 2.2, que up in the duty finder sometime after 2.3, and in the style of SE instead of bringing up the chocobo respect, they added in the chocobo suit for hitting rank 10 to try to give people a reason that mixed their points to still whip out the old bird. My guess is they still think they will add in chocobo raising at some point, and respeccing points, something that should have been in at release, will be a "feature" released with that content. Chocobo raising will more than likely be with or after personal housing, and according to SE that would be 3-6 months after FC housing, and we all know 3-6 months SE time equals 1-2 years real time, so I think we might get respect for our chocobos in time for the summer Olympics in Rio 2016.

I would really appreciate this being implemented in 2.2. As someone who's maxed out daily reputation/job/class levels, it will be nice to having something grindy to work on after all the 2.2 content is finished.

Even just being able to reset the chocobo to 0 XP to farm the other bardings all over again would be great.

We dont even need respec, let us dismiss, kill or cook our chocobo and start a new one.

Healer spec is useless, so go either tank or DPS. DPS parses a little higher than tank but not by much.

I think the issue is the achievement that you got when you have leveled the chocobo to a certain class (Tank / DPS / Healer).
If respec is easy people who got their chocobo to level 10 would get all the achievements automatically.
