Chocobo Companion Question

[Marxam]

PLD THM WHM BRD SCH = Put all points into Attack Stance

ARC SMN = Put all points into Defense Stance

MRD WAR GLD LNC DRG PUG MNK ARH CNJ BLM = Put all points into Healing stance

Just an example of what I feel optimal companions should be, towards your main class/Job, and don't forget about utilizing cross-skills of other classes.

Okay, my Chocobo is Rank 2. When he leveled to rank 1, he gained 1 point allowing me to get the Rank 1 attacker skill. When he hit Rank 2 he gained 2 points allowing me to get the Rank 2 attacker skill.
Chocobo max Rank is 10. People ask how much the max is?

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 =???



Psst: The answer is... 55

Get your chocobo to rank 10 and prove your assumption is right, otherwise it is purely assumptions based on your massive TWO ranks gained.

Hooray for conflicting design philosophies! We can choose any class we want at any moment and respec our stats if we choose. With our companions, we better wait until some theorycrafter tells us what's the best in a month and everyone will just use that. /hyperbole I was happy thinking about using a different stance based on what I need at the time. Here is a question though, can we get more chocobos? I wouldn't mind just buying two more chocobos and leveling them as different stances.

Addendum: Daily post limit is complete garbage. This is cogent to every post made because we are being limited in effective communication. Square Enix stop making me feel like I'm trying to support an MMO made by Soviet Russia.

Actually that would be sweet and not just that but why not chocobo breeding. I would love a white chocobo so I wont have to pay a ferry to get to Costa Del Sol.

I don't mind that allocations are permanent, but it would be nice to have access to more than one chocobo, or different builds for different classes. I need my chocobo to do very different things if I'm playing as Conjurer, versus when I'm playing as Gladiator.

If this is true there needs to be a way to reset your chocobo's skills. There's no reason anyone should be forced upon a poorly allocated chocobo.

Indeed, being permanent without remedy also forces out creative play and experiment, which is part of the fun of any skill/stat allocation design.

If I can change my class to DD/Healer/Tank, why not my companion? After all, they should be able to aid us for our weaknesses (healers to get tank companions as an example). I agree though that this should not be as easy so as spoon feeding it to us, probably in a form of fun, lengthy quest maybe?

no one say your companion CANT change its role, the chocobo can have all 3 stance but will be a jack-of-all-trade and that is your choose

edit: someone mention there is an archivement to max all 3 stance, but that maybe be happen when the rank increase or w/e may happen in the future

White Knights are idiots.

In other words: Stop ruining the game with your xenophobia, White Knights. You help nobody. Not even yourself.

as much as i agree with this post (albeit, too aggressive), you used the term "white knight" wrongly =O white knights are male posters who defend female posters (at least those who claim to be female), usually because they think they have a chance to get laid or something similar. Thus the term, white knight, they wish to be the damsel's gallant knight in shining armor.

P.S: a 1000 character limit for forums posts that includes the character count from quotes!? really? what kind of ancient tech forums is this?

I could be wrong,(I just unlocked GCs, so can't verify it myself anytime soon) But can't you get 3 chocobos now? Since you can switch Grand Companies, can't you join all 3 and get 1 from each. Or is the companion not the same as the mount, that is just upgraded with a grand company quest?

Either that,they plan on letting you more another way or respec with the 2.1 update. They wouldn't put an achievement like that otherwise.
