Red Comet

I know I'm probably going to get tons of flak for this, but can we please have a way to earn Red Comet from the Bozjan Southern Front as a mount and be able to cast his Chocometeors? He's an AWESOME chocobo. Definitely one of the coolest fights in the entire area!!

Why would you get flak for that? This sounds awesome and I fully support this.

I've kinda wanted a Chocobo Knight job added to this game to make further use of our chocobo companion and expand it a bit by possibly finding chocobo color variants that teach new abilities. The thought was a melee DPS/support type fighting while mounted on a chocobo similar to the job from FFTA2. Though that one also augmented its movement depending on what color chocobo it mounted since the tactics style game could make variations on move speed, jump height, or allow units to ignore elevation on movement due to the ability to fly.

I wish we had more mounts with actions in general.

The Construct XIV mount not having the ability to dance and/or shoot lasers was a bit disappointing.

It should give us a maths question to solve.

What would be the difference between Red Comet as a mount and just dying your own Chocobo red?

Being able to drop PTSD-inducing meteors.

Why is this not brought up more? ;n; now there's little point for me getting it...

Chocobo knight could be cool as a job, considering you need to get your chocobo now to progress the story that wouldn't be an issue. The main issue would be giving it a role, considering chocobos as party members in the franchise tend to have vastly different kits based on what chocobo type it is, a melee dps using the choco casts as burst could work quite well, or as a tank. A cool ability could be "dismount", where you get off your chocobo and can disengage to do mechanics, while leaving your chocobo on autopilot to dps the boss.

I'd love to get Red Comet as a mount with the Crazy Chocobo theme from FFXIII-2

If we're requesting mounts from Bozja, I want to throw in a request for the Cerberus-like three-headed dog.

Dying your chocobo isn't exactly the same. Your chocobo will still have its beak coloured yellow before it transitions into the plumage colour, and lighter leg scales. Red Comet, like the other red chocobo mobs you run into in the Ivalice quests and in Rabanastre, has darker leg scales and a completely red beak, no doubt bathed in the blood of his enemies.

I would like me a genuine murder-kweh, blood-red beak and all. <3

To add to this, you're given a black chocobo in HW as well, even though you can dye your companion black. Makes sense to me since red, black and yellow chocobos are different in nature usually.
