For the love of god dont give your companion Choco Medica

"They are considering a gambit-system for the Chocobo Companion (and Magitek). This system is pretty definite, but includes a few aspects, and is perhaps a year or so away from release."

What is the gambit system?

What is the gambit system?

From FFXII. Basically, you could set up characters with things like:

Ally: Party Leader HP <50% Cure II
Ally: Any HP<50% Cure II
etc.

In the above example, the character with this setup will cure any ally whose HP drops below 50%, but will heal the party leader preferentially if they and another drop below 50%.

the gambit system was the best ai i have ever seen in an rpg, because you were programming it by yourself xD you were able to use it for your main character too, so just running around and move the camera. have beaten all bosses except omega (the strongest boss in the game) without actual playing by myself xDD

I've heard of this problem before, and even though my choco is Rank 20 I still just don't use him all that much.

What I wonder, though...They released that chocobo rank is going to increase again in Heavensward. Opting to not spend those points might not be viable much longer if new skills are added to each tree. They should probably just fix the AI of the chocobo....

or let us control it. or let us use it in a dungeon. or anything that makes it viable outside of open world.

I would probably use it more if the italicized type was the case
