Super stoked I finally got him, however the only down side is the giant cabbage. That thing is massive and drowns out the crown on the birdie's head! As well it doesn't quite stand out like the Golden Magitek did. If you run by someone you probably won't even notice the difference in the chocobo. Even though he's still pretty cool and I got excited and wanted to share+my thoughts on him! :D

I'm about 70 comms away from mine. Really tempted to spam some easy trials in hopes of getting the last few I need.
Quick question. It does fly, right? -
02-18-2016, 06:33 AMAshkendorYes it does. Honestly, if you want easy comms do guildhests and low level dungeons as a healer. DPS your face off. Win.Quote:

I've DPS'ed my ass off as a healer and have gotten no comms before, and other runs I've done little to no DPS and walked away with all 3. Depends on the party x_x. Been tanking as much as possible though and usually leave instances with 1 or 2 guaranteed.Quote:

The Parade Chocobo is the poor man's Fat Chocobo for people who don't want to pay for the collector's edition upgrade to get it.
-
02-18-2016, 07:52 AMReddAxelNah, people with Parade Chocobo are definitely not poor. They're rich with time and patience, having to put up with all the bullshit that Duty Finder can offer. Getting 3000 player commendations is no easy task nor can be done overnight. If anything the regular Fat Chocobo is the more scrubby of the two for all it means is you have a CE of the game, but hey I'm not here to say one is better than the other.Quote:

You got 3000 commendations? Here's a fat chocobo mount just like the other one, BUT WITH A HAT!

The parade chocobo should have been a 2-seater mount.

I vote that we request that getting the Parade Chocobo be one of the new requirements for Mentor :)
-
02-18-2016, 08:38 AMMyaValentineVery true. It took a while. And in regards to duty finder. Maybe I'm weird but I've always loved just doing dungeons and duty finder stuff. I also like the challenge of getting into a sucky group and trying to help, like I'll DF Titan Ex and other pains just for fun ><. I've never liked PVP type stuff. Just some good old DF.Quote:

02-18-2016, 09:01 AMCanadaneHm, neat that I own the rarest mount. But I can foresee that changing eventually. Over time, everyone will have 3000+ commendations.Quote:

You can either suck it up and grind for those 3000 commendations to get the mount for free, or you can plunk down a few bucks to get a similar version right now.Quote:

Yeah, the Parade Chocobo has been out for a while. I assume they'll be coming out with another reward for commendations eventually, probably when the Parade gets knocked from rarest.
Generally when the term "poor man's" means a cheaper, common, and less impressive option. In terms of dollar price, the Parade Chocobo is indeed cheaper. But it's rarity and altered appearance gives it a much higher value, even though that value isn't real money.Quote:

*shrug* I don't see much value in it since there's barely any differences between that one and the normal version. Maybe if the feathers were a different color or if it was fatter (lol) it'd make it more desirable to me at least.
