Why exclude people from Chocobo raising?

[Archadius]

Greetings,

Just as was mentioned in Letter from the Producer LIVE XV, as of patch 2.3 it will only be possible to raise chocobos if you are part of a free company that has a house; however, we are looking into making it possible to raise chocobos via chocobo porters as well in the future.

Thank you Camate, but I think we require a little more information. The even bigger issue here is the fact no one has addressed the number of chocobos we will be allowed to raise in the stables. I understand it was stated "one, for now" in the live letter, but that fails to explain whether it's "one per FC member, with a max of 8* members' chocobos being raised at any given time" or "one chocobo at a time per FC, and the FC must decide the order in which its members chocobos will be raised".

Please clarify as this information is crucial for players to have before this content is released. Thank you!

That's massively over complicating the issue. Why would it be limited? Let us use the new personal rooms as a model here. You buy a personal room that you access through a door. Every player who has a personal room accesses it through the same door. This has no limitations on the number of personal rooms.

Why would you even think the house would support a limited number? It will work the same way with 1 stable usable by every single player at the same time. Any and all limitations like you suggested would be entirely unrealistic. Is your glass half empty and you just expect everything to be the worst way possible right out of the gate until you get clarification otherwise?

As for multiple chocobos what they meant was one per person. You're companion was specifically mentioned. This gives further context that what they meant was 1 per player. Not per guild.


Lastly

however, we are looking into making it possible to raise chocobos via chocobo porters as well in the future.

They are already working on it. You'll just have to wait a bit longer.

One word - garden. Unless you know what nobody else does we can assume based on the statement from Yoshi about having chocobo stables at your "garden" (hopefully that's just a bit loose translation and means yard / outside area of the FC house) it could be very well limited and even depending on the size of the plot / house. So the question about numbers here is quite valid. I'd imagine (at that's just example, no official numbers) that each estate will be limited to ONE chocobo stable with different sizes / amount of "cots" - lets say 4, 6 and 8 for small, medium and large plot respectivelly. While this is my "guess" against yours it's as well (if not more) realistic as yours.

I got the same idea as well. According to previous new-added features,
i.e. like npc vendor and gardening, it would be very logical to think if chocobo stables have different size and number of slots for different size of houses...^^;

I think it will be a stable with a Chocobo whistle instead of a summoning bell then any members chocobo is summoned.

I believe that you're missing the question part of the below Q&A...

Q30: How many chocobos can you raise at the same time?

A30: Since this is for companions, just one for now. We are planning to expand content in phases, and in the future when the Gold*ahem* and the Chocobo*ahem* are implemented, you’ll be able to raise more.

Thanks for the information.

Could anyone tell me so can members raise chocobo simultaneoulsy? ^^;

When YoishiP talked about gardening, the "you" refer to the whole FC...

"While any type of seed can be planted on even the smallest patch, the number of seeds you can plant will depend on the size of your garden."
