Why exclude people from Chocobo raising?

[Fusionx]

I don't know which is more disappointing:

-the fact that I can't access this content
-it's yet another purely visual thing without any depth whatsoever (feed choco an item to switch color doesn't really hold a candle next to VII,IX,XI & XIII-2 systems now does it?)

This almost makes me not care but not quite. It's still a breadcrumb of a feature dumbed down and placed out of reach.

Actually, you can only push your chocobo into Rank 11 with chocobo raising, it's not a "purely visual" thing.

meh wait til personal housing all of this will be active on there. it is a lot of code they are writing from scratch gotta start somewhere then build on to it. what better place to start then with the housing system already in place, patience young padwans.

Very true... logically. However, the people complaining about this will complain that they have to pay for personal housing. Just wait, it'll happen. In fact, I'm looking forward to the future complaints about the ~300k FC room fee once it's released, as we already had some threads crying about just that. I can guarantee too, that had everything been free, they would complain that it doesn't "feel special" since everyone has access. These are the folks that will actively seek out anything to hate on.

It's best to either ignore their complaints or just disagree and then ignore. Make them pop a vein or two in anger that they can't grasp the idea that MMORPGs may require you to spend some time trying to form a means for an income for yourself.

this is an MMO, you cant have everything if you choose to play solo

A fallacy stated by someone on just about every MMO forum ever.

I've been waiting for that for almost 4 years now. I doubt any time it will be in the next year.

you have been playing ARR for almost 4 years now? woa!

How is it fallacy? Unless a game has run its course and everything is being nerfed there's always going to be content that requires you to work with other people. The exception to this is MMOs that are mechanically easy enough or overly macroed so that 1 person can multibox raid content. I want to meet someone who can multibox clear the first Coil nevermind Second Coil.

FYI Yoshi answered the question about Personal Housing release during E3 stating he's aiming for before 2.4. Therefore it WILL happen within the next year.

I hope we can make them any color of the rainbow, instead of the usual red/blue/black/green/yellow.

The fallacy, specifically, is the first part of the statement. "It's a MMO" is a meaningless qualifier, as all MMO means is that multiple people can join a persistent server at the same time. It has nothing to do with gameplay.

The second part of the statement makes sense as some things in this particular MMO require multiple people to complete. Though in this case, a single person could conceivably create a FC by bribing people to sign at the start and then purchasing a small house + land (less than 2 mil for some of the Goblet properties).

Nope. Still been waiting for personal housing and Chocobo raising in FFXIV for almost 4 years now.

There's no fallacy towards the "It's a MMO" statement when you actually look at the intended context that it's an "MMORPG". The genre itself is founded, and eventually made mainstream, on the very things you incorrectly consider a fallacy.
