Salutations,
I apologize in advance if this is not the right place for this. I am quite new to the Forums and this is my first post. I am not aware if Devs ever look on these forums frequently or if what I am about to say will be received positively. Please go easy on me. With that being said allow me to digress.
Ahem* "A Red Chocobo Mount? Well surely you know you can just dye your Chocobo any color you like." I figure someone would say. However, I am not talking about your Average Chocobo... I'm referring to "The" Red Chocobo, The Firebrand of the Seven Hells - that has cindered and smited many a worthy adventurer in the Bozjan Southern Front.
To keep things brief. I believe there should be a way to tame this beast and claim it's power for yourself! In otherwords, I think it would be a cool mount idear.
My concept is rather simple. A Larger scale to the normal-sized (about Eternal Bonding sized) Chocobo model mount, with no saddle and a mount ability that drops a meteor.
Make this an obtainable mount for being able to survive the Crimson Carnage without anyone in your group dying. Or if not a Mog station mount. I believe it be a nice commemoration to those who lost many lives against this beast. I also don't believe it be hard to implement since it's just a basic Chocobo model.
This is my suggestion I put forward. I hope this isn't an imposition. Let me know what you think, I'd be fond to hear if I'm not the only one who thinks this be a good addition. That is all for now - May you all walk in the light of the crystal.
Suggestion: A Red Chocobo Mount

11-20-2021, 09:12 AMSherlottaEryutI’m always for the idea of more mounts. That red chocobo in Bozja strikes fear into many people’s hearts so I believe it deserves a place in the mount list… but it needs to stand out a bit more so it doesn’t look like a standard red chocobo.Quote:

not sure what that would be, isn't it literally just a red chocobo with no barding?
draught chocobo is kind of a special red chocobo but a plain one is more accurate -

It has to include a comet emote to scare the hell out of AFKers.

Considering there are now regular red chocobos in the Chocobo Forest in Dravanian Forelands (which SE seemed to have quietly added in a patch).... a red chocobo mount may also be possible I guess (although we already have the Draught Chocobo acquired through the 'Recruit-a-Friend' campaign which is redish with some white on it's feathers).
I haven't fought any there yet though, I'm.... kinda wary about earning their wrath. :P
Look at me, Mrs Kitty Warrior of Light and Darkness and destroyer of Primals, gods and demons.... and scared by birds. :P -

You know you can change the color of your basic first chocobo mount, right?
-
11-20-2021, 12:12 PMKrotoanThese were added with the expansion of Blue Mage skills. They are how you get "Choco meteor", which is a pretty staple Blue Mage skill because of how generally powerful it is.Quote:

Not sure why they call it amber but I suppose it's not unusual for colors to get a bit funky with translations. (And personally, it's one of my favorites even when I'm not ferrying people around).Quote:

11-20-2021, 07:32 PMTheMightyMolluskWe already have a separate black chocobo handed to us in the MSQ in Ishgard. What's a few more?Quote:

I'm up for it if we get it a char kick. Live up to the red comet nickname.

11-20-2021, 08:31 PMJuzjuzzA chocobo 3 times faster than you average chocobo.Quote:

Then we need a red amaro.
"This is no chocobo, boy! No chocobo!" -
11-20-2021, 09:02 PMEnkidohThere actually are red amaros, they're called chiliad camas and found in the north-west of Lakeland, and yes, they're highly aggressive, although not really too dangerous.Quote:

Anything can be ridden. Once.

11-20-2021, 10:44 PMGothicsharkActually, there are options already.Quote:

My third main has this mount, it's extra cool as it's a two seater.
-
11-21-2021, 01:15 AMNaddaThose are both charming in their own right. However, to reiterate not what I meant with all due respect. As I'm sure you're aware. It's not so much the color, but the idear of a call back mount for "The" Red Chocobo, The Red Comet. With aesthetically no saddle or bardings of any sort and the ability to do a meteor emote.Quote:

A mount of such scale I believe be easy to implement not really requiring much effort. Simple and clean, as well as a nice nod to those players for this notorious encounter in the Bozjan Southern Front. -

Would it use choco meteor on every enemy it walks past automatically?
-
11-21-2021, 07:44 AMDustytome
I believe I posted this before, but I'd like a fat red chocobo that uses Meatier and calls down a giant meatball.
-
11-21-2021, 07:53 AMTheMightyMollusk
Instead of a cake on a string to lead it, we use a bottle of players' tears.

11-21-2021, 02:07 PMNadda
That would be awesome as well! Very Original lmao
-
11-21-2021, 02:17 PMViolyre
I want the red chocobo from XIII-2. Along with its music.
-
11-21-2021, 05:32 PMJettinson
I still want them to add the shiny white chocobo Tricker from XII. Seriously looks great to be a XIV mount
-
11-26-2021, 07:04 AMGothicsharkAlthough I agree with the idea more mounts are good, we are not lacking in Chocobo options.Quote:

I should also say, you shouldn't get so emotionally invested on this dream, and you shouldn't be so hostile when someone points out what is possible already. -
11-26-2021, 07:15 AMUnholychinchillaIm confused. I fail to see how there was any hostility in that response. Seemed pretty civil to me.Quote:

Choosing the big word instead of the short one, ie the I'm smarter than you hostile approach:
"Further suggestion as forementioned" vs "As said before" <- Word salad to sound smart, is actually a dumb way to act hostile, esp when the person you are talking to is college educated. Also and this is just the literary critic in me, "Further suggestion as forementioned" is clunky and doesn't flow well when said outloud, always read your sentence out loud, or have a text to speech bot speak your sentence to you to make sure it sounds good. I currently use "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader" chrome extension, as I have dyslexia, and always check my sentences for readability before pressing save and walking away. ((often times I might edit a post 5 or 6 times just to be safe.
