Can I have a female chocobo?

[Shioban]

Blah blah lore reasons, blah blah Ishgard, blah blah mimics breeding IRL, et cetera

Simply put, I do not want to fetch Rainbowdash from his stable, I want to retrive Rainbowdash from her stable.

You're being excessively pedantic over something minimal. You're the only person that will ever see that it says "his".

You're saying that they now need to take the time to add in a new parameter for "Gender [X] or [X]" and then readjust all text assassinated with the Chocobo to say [X] or [X]. JUST so you don't feel vindicated that you wanted to give you Chocobo a terrible name.

For the time being that is an insane waste of the developers time, considering the Chocobo's gender has no bearing on anything bar "I fetched it from [x]" and the initial pick-up quest.

but I'd have no qualms with male only chocobo breeding... happens all the time in nature apparently,

Why does everyone have to be so mean when I post something fun? I'm sure I'm not the only person that noticed it. I'd like it, but it's about as useful as 90% of the suggestions posted here (I want the option for my character to have wings! More hair! Wedding dress for roe men!!). I'm not going to go like "2.5 CAN'T BE RELEASED UNLESS MY CHOCOBO CAN BE A GIRL."

ASSASSINATE ALL THE CHOCOBO TEXT!

"I-It's was only a joke thread guys". Sure fooled you!

Based on your OP, it looked like a request, not a joke.

Please re-read your OP and tell me from a 3rd person PoV how this would even remotely come across as a "joke". (Bar the name you've chosen for it.)

Fun fact, it's not "breeding" unless a female and a male are involved. Offspring can only be produced from the genes of a male/female combo. That's REALLY what happens in nature.

Any other combination is strictly for pleasure and/or is behavioural in nature and serves no other purpose.

Well. That's not entirely true.

Parthenogenesis /ˌpɑrθənɵˈdʒɛnɨsɨs/ is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization. In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell and is a component process of apomixis.


Struggling here to remember exactly which particular insects/sea creatures have a single-gender, but they do exist.

Probably the fact that I start off with "blah blah reasons" rather that my request first (Talking purely about the body here. Subject has to be...subject-y.). Usually if people do that, you should know they're not even taking themselves seriously. At least that's my case. I don't see anything in the subject line that's funny, where are you finding it at?

You're kind of like the people who reply to my Many Deaths of FFXIV thread with "if you don't like it, don't play the game." Or "this game is nowhere near dying."
