"Grand Company issue PERSONAL chocobo" How personal?

[Hino]

Hey even if they do work as an extra storage closet on legs I'd be happy.

i can imagine it being quite handy for DoL classes out on a farming spree. that also acts as a quick ride home!

My wish from SE:
I want you to be able to raise your own chocobo.
Taking care of it.
Train it to gain higher speed, longer riding-time, easier to find items while digging, and be able to give it color and armour.

Later on I would also like a Chocobo Knight job, and a racing job.

Uh do NOT give us a riding time that's just lame.

Can't say too much, so I'll keep this pretty vague... but if you join up with a Grand Company and work hard to complete some of their quests... beneficial things will take place.

Don't mean to be rude or anything but this is not even remotely related to the question asked in this thread... He wasn't asking what the benefits of doing grand company quests were... he wanted to know more about the personal chocobo system as in can we raise them or do we just buy them once and keep them forever.

If you wanted to be vague about that you could have said something in the lines of "Personal Chocobos can get quite personal" or something like that... Instead of saying something really off topic but thx anyways for the effort.

He could have been saying that as you do quests the chocobo gets things, like the armour, abilitys or faster anything.

It would be nice if we could make gear for our own chocobos. That would be nice to see and participate in as well. However, I am more than happy to be able to ride them. Anima would finally have time to replenish.

Yoshida just posted a pretty epic teaser to whet everyone's appetite for more chocobo information!

Hello, this is Yoshida, the producer/director.

I am very impressed with everyone's ideas for Chocobos! As I have stated before, we are working on the Chocobo growth system, but implementation may take longer than expected. (We are planning on implementing some gear for Personal Chocobos in patch 1.20. )

Final details will be revealed prior to the patch release, but here are a few teasers for you all:

• Rental Chocobos will be rented using gil. Prices will be very low, even players under rank 20 will be able to easily afford one.
• Rental Chocobos can be used for limited periods of time, so they will serve as short-term transportation supplements.
• Personal Chocobos will have no recast timer. (They can be called instantly, unless you are being attacked!)
• The use of Personal Chocobos is unlimited. (You can ride them for as long as you want!)
• Both types of Chocobos can be attacked by enemies while you ride them.
• If you receive too much damage while you are riding a Chocobo, you will be knocked off the Chocobo.
• We are currently working on the speed of the Chocobos. (There will be no speed difference based on the character’s race.)
• The sizes of the Chocobos will be different based on the character’s race.
• Rental and Personal Chocobos will have different appearances and different background music.

That’s about it. Since Personal Chocobos will become the basis of the Mount System, they have no recast timers and no riding time restrictions. However, they can be attacked by powerful monsters.

I hope you guys can ride the Chocobos well!

Sounds awesome.

But the world wants to know: When can I ride a Nannygoat?

Interesting. Although small bummer I can't use my choco to reach areas I have never been before (due to dangerous mobs). Oh well, still happy for chocos.
