Chocobos, airships, and the main city

[KingZeus]

I agree, adding Chocobos alone could change the feel of the game dramatically

yeah, it'll make it feel like a final fantasy game

Anyhoo, I'm really wanting a chocobo. Also would like some kind of living space. Sleeping under the stars gets rather old after a while, and that is coming from an avid explorer ^^;

Agh I knooow. My mog house is one of my favorite things about FFXI. A place to call your own, establish your place in the city you choose instead of sleeping on the streets! This could easily be implemented by changing the market wards zone point to a popup that asks "Where do you want to go? 1. Market Wards. 2. Residential District"

I was thinking of a good way to implement this and this seems like the best!

Also I really want Airships, I want to be able to fly over Eorzea, seeing everything from the sky would be amazing.

Chocobo have been something I wanted since day 1, and a lot of the ideas in this thread are great! really loving the custom armor.

I agree 100%, right now travelling kind of sucks. Walking takes a long time to get somewhere. Handing in some quests in 1 area already takes an hour because I have to walk from ll to camp bald knoll to iron lake and then to bloodshore.
We need chocobo's! The teleport system just isn't enough. Considering the amount of anima teleporting costs you can only teleport like what, twice a day?

So I think they should add chocobo's to the game as soon as possible. Or if that still is going to take a while, reduce the teleport cost/triple anima regen.

@TheBullet

Sounds like someone doesn't favor locations, I really never have too much of an issue with anima, and at most it takes 6 to teleport somewhere. with 100 anima base, and ~4 hours per anima (I can't recall), if you don't teleport 24/7 it's not horrible.

+1 For chocobos!

I remember time ago, in an interview, the airships would have been implemented with different sizes and architectural styles depend of the places and distances to be reached. It would be a very nice touch and i hope we'll see it in the future.

For the chocobo, i would love to see it as customizable mount (armours, bags, riding/excavation/jump-on-high-cliffs(ala FF13) skills) as well and the possibility to grow it from born, like in FF11. It should be a life companion from the very beginning (of its life). And, why not, its personal stable (in which we could training/feeding it with a sort of mini-game) near our house, when housing will be implemented.

I play Chocobo music every time I go to run somewhere and just hope that a bird will come and gobble me up and take me to mai destination :3

[Suirieko]

Yeah, we definitely need to see chocobo being added, and I can't wait for Ishgard to be open! I'm sure THAT will be the main city, and will have the airship central hub.

im personally tired of peoples bickering about immersion on the Zam.com forums (i mention this because someone above talked about how instant teleporting is it takes away from the game), make the game super user friendly and i will decide for myself how immersed i will be.
