So Chocobo "raising" is basically feeding your chocobo and watching a cutscene...?

[Airget]

To be fair gotta think of it like this. This is only the beginning of this concept, truth be told they can't really expand it to a grand level because there is no need for it atm. Once Chocobo ________ is released they may expand the content more to make it more dynamic because they would most likely have to add in attributes like endurance, stamina, speed, durability etc to the chocobo's attributes which would mean new ways to train the chocobo which may add more options/variables when training.

This makes me sad. Declasses this as 'content' imo

At least for now it's just Feed your Chocobo -> Watch cut scene -> Your chocobo gain x XP, maybe it will change when Goldsaucer is added.

They've alluded to as much.

It seems the players are WAY more excited about companions than the dev team is.

It has so much potential that SE lets just slip by as the're doing stuff like this.
It's also cool that we can raise the cap but what for?

Attacker + Defender traits = OP Chocobo (also a few +Acc/Crit in Healer too)

You actually raised you chocobo

yes and how many years did it take to implement that?

... everyone is fixating on this small "fluff" content.... why have we still not got any competitive raids? why is the end game only 1 8 man dungeon for progression? why is there no variety in loot stats / Activatable equipment / secondary jobs for each class .... whats the point in having an armoury system where they introduce new base classes without expanding on the olds ones first.


Crystal Tower 2 is fantastic.... but its just a friggin "Looking for Raid" casual filler with no lifespan other than doing it once a week.... and certainly not a challenge.

At first I was worried it was a engine-issue not being able to handle it... but as seen by frontline it can be done. where are the bigger dungeons.

Why are there no 8 man dungeons outside of coil? (that are not casual story ones).

Game... has.... much... bigger... shortcomings than this.

to be completely honest here, you ppl who like dungeons runs have plenty of things to do. there's more beat-em-up things than it is fluff contents.
i dunno, sometimes i wanna do things thats not re-run dungeons 5 million times day y'know? also... almost
everything is required for a dang FC. just stop it. why do ppl need to be in a FC to have a chocobo stable?
this all would of been thrown out the window, if they just gave us personal housing but instead, they give us a mini inn room house thing...and you need to be in a fc!!!...im sorry but i'm getting disappointed, again, with how
SE is just giving you the hype and then when we get it...its bad. also wheres chocobo breeding?
well all in due time i guess...hopefully we get some minigames going . never know they may expand
for you to have 8man dungeons outside coil and get better fluff content...i guess it's a steppin' stone but im still
disappointed. ):

I think there is only so long people can use "when Gold Saucer is released" as an excuse for stuff. Gold Saucer has been rumoured and speculated on since like 2.0, and the Devs have even mentioned it being in development multiple times since then, hinting to an array of mini games and whole other bunch of great stuff.

But we have seen nothing.

I'm not saying Gold Saucer isn't in development, I'm sure it is, but when we will actually see it released is a complete mystery. If they didn't have any actual plans for chocobo raising to have some sort of use, other than trade x vegetable for exp, then maybe they should have held off on it for a bit.

I was also a bit disappointed to find out that these minigames were not interactive. When I saw the chocobo jumping over the Goobbue I was hoping I'd have some kind of control over it, and the results of my input would impact the chocobo's training.

Why exactly don't you want to be in a FC? Do you just want to play an online game in a solo environment?

[DoctorPepper]

Have to admit, I'm disappointed to hear they aren't mini games as well since that is totally what I expected it to be. Gold saucer is on the way though and we should see more chocobo related content then.
