Will Legacy Chocobo fly?

[Canadane]

That's what im thinking, they are essentially the same chocobo if you are a legacy player.

Yup. I keep him on a hotbar and he's my primary mount in most places, as my GC Chocobo is usually stabled.
He waited 5 years for me. I'm giving him the respect this partner of mine deserves!

I'd love to see him take flight, but I would understand if he didn't, if the GC Chocobo doesn't. I mean, you still need to have some land-based mounts, right?

Maybe thats why they will increase level cap of chocobos... so i guess only past level 20 you can learn the skills to fly!

But it is already confirmed that the companion Chocobo can learn to fly. With Fat Chocobo also flying around soon, the Legacy Chocobo would be the only Chocobo who can't fly.

And now we have to change the wiki's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocobo

"A chocobo (チョコボ chokobo?) is a fictional creature from the Final Fantasy video game series by Square and Square Enix. The creature is a flightless bird, with a resemblance to galliformes and ratites, capable of being ridden and otherwise used by player characters during gameplay."

Don't see why not since normal chocobos will be able to fly. The only difference is name and looks.

It seems...really odd to me that normal chocobos will fly. Chocobos are not normally flying birds. Where did you see this? That said, if normal chocobos will fly, I would certainly expect legacy ones to do so.

Edit Add: Ah, it'll be a function of training it as a companion, which legacy chocobos, of course, don't do.

Next they'll have flying penguins.

on jet packs.

I don't see why not the legacy chocobo can't fly if the fat chocobo can screw physics and hover off the ground then we can make our legacy mounts fly.

We can make him fly we have the technology.

It exist also the possibility that even a Goobbue can learn to fly. A reason more that Legacy Chocobo should fly.

With jet packs.

Yes,please.

Q: Do you plan on making it so our chocobo companions can become flying mounts?
A: Yes, we have plans to do this. There will be a special quest, and by clearing it your chocobo companion will be able to fly.

from what they have said the compainion chocobo Draught chocobo Ceremony chocobo and fat chocobo will fly, so i would assume yes the legasy chocobo will fly as well :3

[Mythrella]

I wonder if the quest is what opens the ability for flying in general. I doubt it would apply to chocobo companion only.

They've said we'll have the flying ahmiran, fat chocobo, bomb mount, ponies, whatever.

I don't see why any chocobo only would be locked behind a quest. I would expect that if a mount is made to fly, doing the quest unlocks flying abilities for all of them.

And it's only logical for legacy chocobo to fly if all those others do.
