Concerns Regarding Chocobo Cost

[Archadius]

Ya, lets rape the pockets of the lowbies or force them to walk, that's a great idea. You ever think about running for office?

Don't worry I'm sure SE can think of plenty of ways to throw your gil back into the system seconds after earning it.

Does a low ranked player need to walk to Camp Broken Water, Coerthas, or Mor Dhona for ANY reason? No.

I imagine the high level mobs will knock them off Chocobo and have them for dinner anyway.

You're right they don't "need" chocobos to get around. But then again, neither do we high level players.

People seem to want chocs for two reasons: 1) They're Final Fantasy; and 2) to get to far away places more quickly and without using anima. Those reasons apply just as much to new players as to higher ranked players. New players need to move between all 3 cities, too. The idea is to make the game more enjoyable for everyone, new players and old.

Should a low ranked player have to walk to camps to "acquire them" first just like everyone else? Yes.

Why? Just because something sucked for us doesn't mean it has to suck for everyone. We want the game to be more enjoyable for new players, so they'll stick around.

I can't think of any benefit to excluding new players from using chocs. And I imagine that lots of new players will really enjoy them. We want new players to have more fun. So that's a good thing.
