When will we get the Legacy chocobos?

Hi guys,

Do we have any information on when we will receive or at-least see the legacy chocobos? As a Final Fantasy fan since 7; I love the idea of having different coloured chocobos however I have only seen yellow chocobos as of late.

Are we still scheduled to have these ready for release or will they come at a later time?

Thanks,
Nushi

I think we'll get it via the mail system at release ^^

I think we will see them soon but most likely upon release unless noted by the XIV team.

I was expecting to see "my Baby" at the start of the game, BEFORE THE INTRO! I remember the trailer when they showed off the exclusive chocobo... I WANTED TO RIDE INTO TOWN LIKE THAT! v.v;

...and my black, legacy chocobo better be female! That how the whole breeding begins- with Legacy players! ;D

I'm sorry I couldn't embed it, you'll have to follow this link: http://youtu.be/h542YbZuwkQ?t=7m11s

Recommended you see the whole video but it should start from where the chocobos show up! Enjoy! ^^

When I re-started playing this game last summer (welcome back campaign) (played for 2 weeks @ launch and gave up), I quickly learned about the Legacy campaign.

Being an utter newb with no faith in ever obtaining a chocobo of my own, I was most excited about this Legacy Chocobo mount! It was actually my "reason" for grabbing a 90 day subscription before they stopped selling them. Crazy, right? (Little did I know that it would be over a year before any of this would finally come to an end.) Of course, I did end up getting my own chocobo (named Dobby) making lots of friends, joining a couple of great linkshells, and getting completely and utterly hooked on this game.

I can't thank that Legacy Chocobo enough for being the odd thing that "lured" me into Legacy, something that ended up having more rewards than many of us could have ever imagined. I'll need to start thinking of a good name for it. :)

As for the OP question, I agree with Nix. I think it will be delivered to us via moogle mail on release day, with all the other items we will be entitled to (CE items, pre-order items, previous items like garlond goggles, etc.)

Those are just standard yellow chocobos.

that's an awesome story man, sadly I missed legacy status myself by 1 week.

I would assume we will get them in the mail first day of early access. If not that than first day of official server release day. if not than, than i have no clue.

Unfortunately that was it. If you pay attention to the gear and not the chocobo itself. The chocobo the warrior hume is riding is wearing the same armor and the same as in the promo, though it's very difficult to see why it makes a difference now that Yoshi has introduced so many other mounts and bonuses and gave-aways to over-shadow it.

The class armor you can earn looks way better on a normal chocobo than a Legacy chocobo. Sadly, on the video, it doesn't emphasize what the chocobo will actually look like at launch(maybe it'll be yellow with black tips on its feathers, like the concept art).

here's some food for thought for ya, whenever they talk about the barding, they're constantly saying "companion" not "chocobo" so this leads me to believe that other mounts may be able to wear barding :p

ah well, that's not as special as they made it sound :(

yes it is very expected for this to be the case... Although I can't imagine that it would be available right away, since that would require a myriad of new command button looks and balance testing...

Chocobo companions you say? I believe they were tested already. Expect it to be in Open Beta. I see barding as different than companion features. You could change the look of your chocobo in 1.0 but all you could do it ride.
In 2.0, expect to call your chocobo not only to ride it but to fight.

no chocobo companions was available and likely be available. I was talking about the news ones like goobbue (yes it is old) and coeurl mount. If they allowed them to fight then they would need new button command designs and balance testing...
