It doesn't really matter if it affects me personally or not. Everything anyone does, says, or thinks sends a message.

I can understand playing the other gender for role-playing purposes, but that doesn't excuse sexual immorality in a culture that's already obsessed with sexuality. Square Enix had a chance to defend what's right here, and they blew it.

They said you could raise your companion chocobo beyond rank 10. If it gains SP at the same rate, you can have it master another skill tree by rank 14. Will we get the matching barding this way, and will we ever get to reset our chocobos' skills? They didn't answer those questions, either, but that's minor compared to this "eternal bonding" business.
