Can I have a female chocobo?

[Velox]

male only chocobo breeding.

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.

"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.)

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

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.

Well yes, but we are talking about birds, of which we know how they reproduce (there's a string of quests in Bentbranch that explains chocobo raising). In a nutshell Chocobo reproduction is almost identical to Ostrich.

That being said, I'll keep on the lookout for horsebirds with their young popping out of them like jellyfish

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."

Birds can do it too :P

(Although in this case it requires the egg, so only female stuff lol)

I'm not saying that's how Chocobo's reproduce. I'm replying in response to your "male/female" is the only way to reproduce in nature, statement.

Please see the above post.

That just comes across as wildly ignorant and flippant. It doesn't come across as a joke at all.

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."

I don't see how that's relative. But you seem to have some severe difficulty in understanding what you type and what you say verbally and two completely different things.
"I kicked the dog" in text can be taken multiple ways when there's no tone/emphasis to go on. There's very little to go on.

As for the actual thread itself. I just looked it up, and I don't see how anything we've discussed here is related to it, I haven't told you to stop playing the game.
Based on your request (irregardless of whether it was a false request or not) it would require time to adjust. Time better spent elsewhere.

Just because you personally feel that something is important and vital, doesn't mean it's the best time investment.
Even I could be wrong here, the community reps might take note of your thread and pass it on saying "Players showed [interest/nointerest/dislike/like for [X]".




If you're posting on the forums with the expectation that everyone will understand what you're trying to say and how you're trying to say it.
Then you need to re-evaluate how you post. Because your "Many Deaths" thread comes across as serious to your interest as this one did (ignoring the ignorant "blah blah" at the start).

The actual Chocobos themselves (even during breeding/raising) were not refereed to by genders. I can't find anything solid to support that the Chocobos players themselves raised/used actually had any specific genders at all after you choose it, bar the initial attempt. I can't find anything on my Chocobo that refers to gender. (Mostly because people couldn't give a damn)

"Boy or Girl?

Male or Female? If you care which gender your Chocobo ends up being, once it hatches, you might like to know that it seems very hard to actually get new eggs to be the other gender in the event that your first one turns out to be a disappointment to your expectations, unless of course you use one of the breeding plans from Finbarr when you turn in two chococards for breeding... but even that is not guaranteed."

final fantasy has followed the same chocobo lore since ff5 with BOCO where female chocobos are unrideable, due to personality or nature, and males can be taught to have a raider, no final fantasy to date has gone against this lore.

Oh, you mean my chocobo's name? I suppose it could be funny, but considering my character name...and that my chocobo is really named that...
