As it is right now, having a chocobo level 20 is a challenge, yes, especially because all that gardening stuff and spiritbond with your dear chocobo and etc.... But... It is not so rewarding at all...
Their starts don't suffer any alteration past the level 10, aside of the stats you buy in their three roles, so, yes, you can achieve 45% criticals, around 25-30% hp or so, more attack, speed attack, bla bla, but.... They don't really have a base stats increase, neither anything special at all regarding mechanics or vanity... Yes, you can... Uhm, rather change all of the three special bardings all time or... Use the three pieces of the three special bardings?... UH....
Anyway, here'd be the things that I don't really expect but I'd like to see in level 20 chocobos:
-> Especial colors available to choose when your chocobo is level 20, maybe an option in the stable giving you option to freely change the color whenever you want or even tell you how many fruits you need for achieving each color, also give you possibility to perhaps attain some rare ones such as golden, silver, pure white, pure black?
-> Make them bigger, or make it so they have some kind of glow, or... Symbols or... Dunno, make them a bit special.... (FFXII trickster fan here!)
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...atus-FFXII.jpg
-> Add a gambit system or give some utility to /cac macro, so we can use the companion skills or order them directly what to do,give us special commands to show the chocobo where to stay, etc... (Similar to pets in that sense)
-> Make it so the chocobo acquires stats from the gear we have equipped, thus, being a bit equal to the ilevel upgrades... As the progress continue we get better gear all time but chocobos still with their low fresh 50 stats... It'd be cool you could for example change to your i110 healer and summon a level 20 chocobo going to have a buff of being summoned with i110 healer, then you change to your DPS and enjoy having a bit buffed healer. (Giving some utility to the fact of having multiple and good geared up classes)
-> More speed... A level 20 chocobo would be worth enough trying if they'd allow us to move faster through the field...This would be A-W-E-S-O-M-E. (And seriously, it feels just odd a level 1 chocobo can run during 30 min non stop at the same speed than a level 20 one, more having in mind they exist basically for transport, a good chocobo should be faster than an average one)
Where's my trickster? T_T
--- My opinion alone doesn't counts. More good ideas of other people! ---

kinda like the ilv/gear part... but as something more direct.. like an echo-ish buff, based on your ilv that increases the stuff like echo does
the rank is for battle only so... making them faster i dont think it would be fair, especially with chocobo racing coming. -

Their stats grow with the players level (so in 3.0)
Choco level is the current Player level and role rank is just role rank and not the level.
It is like during the early 1.0, where stats of a character depended of the physical level and were not part of the class rank (it was possible to have 500 int with a lv 1 THM if the physical level was high enough). -

Yoshida doesn't want to force players to "strive" for something as it'll create stress. This is why he made everything with a 'universal' approach, so there's no rifts between the playerbase (even though it didn't fully work out.) They originally wanted to use the gambit system as they talked about it all during beta but instead uses it for bosses (that heavy scripting? It's the gambit system.)
So it's very unlikely they'll ever make these special - look at the barding, it was a wasted opportunity to make our chocos special simply because it'll have an actual "worth" to them aside appearance. They also made all mounts the same speed for the same reason. -

12-19-2014, 02:33 AMTupsiAside the economy (basically their reason for not doing certain things.) Since our gardening is already packed as is just on onions having speed boosting will require something bigger since that gives you an advantage over those who don't partake in gardening/shelling out tons of money (while it seems like nothing to us, to SE giving advantages is a no-no.)Quote:

This way you would get mimett gourds that increase the chocobo heal power, Thav Onions and the seeds for the increased speed in one go. -

I came into this thread to jokingly suggest they should glow, but I've already seen you've done in in earnest.
So...back to my cave then. -

I like the idea of special colors. Hell, make it so that you can color in detail...maybe color the tail feathers and tips of wings, which would give people a bigger differential in looks for different people. Yeah, Black chocobo with white tail feathers and blue wing tip feathers....almost multi colored. Or maybe some way to maybe prestige the chocobo. Once you get to highest lvl, knock it back to lvl 1 but carry over a portion of a base stat which depends on the role that you chose for your chocobo or based on percentage of total skills vs. skills in each role.

We would probably have things like this if people weren't clamoring for behemoth mounts instead of unique chocobos.
but seriously Glow? -
12-19-2014, 02:52 PMKewitt

Ok please don't! -
12-20-2014, 12:53 AMAdrian74Looking forward to it.Quote:
