Chocobo digging

I know this game still needs a few key things to fix first, but I was wondering if you guys would be interested in some Chocobo digging?

The ones that played FFXI will be familia with this concept. I really liked this feature in FFXI and put in lots of time and effort to cap it. It was a fun thing to do and it was really profitable at higher levels.

Sometimes when I came home tired from a day of work or studying it was really nice to get on my chocobo, shut down my brains and do some Chocobo digging :D

They could mix it up with Chocobo Hot and Cold if they would like to also.

What do you guys think?

I'd be more keen to FFIX's Hot & Cold if anything. XI's was an almost replica of it but IX's were actually a bit more tied to the progression of your chocobo as well.

Exactly what I was about to write.

I really didn't like it in XI, as it was just too complicated and didn't give you any visible progression.

IX's Hot and cold was so addictive, and would fit perfectly into XIV, along with TRIPLE TRIAD OR TETRA MASTER HINT HINT YOSHI-P!

Agree that it was not visible, but their certainly was some progression with digging. They should not make it hidden like in FFXI, but give it a nice own window where you can see your progress.

FFXI digging was not complicated, just pretty hidden and unknown. Get greens, go dig, that was all you need to do :D

Hot and cold was lots of fun too, no doubt. I am in for a nice combination like we had in FFXI and people can choose whatever they want to do.

That's what I mean, yes there was a progression there, but unless there are shiny bars for me to fill, I will focus on other things.

I do miss my digger chocobo from FFXI. She is red, too.

Chocobo digging sounds like fun for me!

I have to admit I would absolutely love this, especially if it were more along the lines of FFIX's hot and cold game than XI's chocobo digging. Heck, you could make an entire Disciple of the Land out of this, if you really wanted to.

Yea i was thinking the same, why not make a DoL... But i also loved the hidden lvl concept... So im fine with both, but i actualy prefered Digging over the Hot/Cold game.

I was a professional chocobo digger in XI heehee. Even raised a green chocobo especially for it, and 5 mules to process everything I received.

Gathering is my favorite hobby in any game, but I especially liked chocobo digging. IX's debut version of it was also my favorite mini game in the series thus far.
I've read a few times that Yoshi stated that he has no current plans for this. That makes me a sad moogle. :(
I really hope its on the agenda for version 2.0 along with chocobo rearing.

The only iffy thing that I get stuck on is, what exactly would chocobos procure that isn't already available with the other gathering classes? The only thing that isn't covered currently is leather mats...which would be just...creepy.

I loved chocobo digging too and would love to see a version of gathering/mini game involving chocobos in this game too. I miss my beautiful blue chocobo that took so long to raise and train.

Perhaps, if we get the raised chocobo's as 'party members' as I've read talk of, they could also gather as well when the character does it, pecking/scratching at the gathering points as well?

Hot/Cold, tied to a new DoL class sounds fantastic.

I preferred Hot and Cold as well. Would be great to see eventually, along with chocobo ranching in general. I'd like to be able to ride old Iron Beak when I go out mining.
