Chocobo Trailer!

I guess my signature will become irrelevant soon....

I know that's the way they did it in XI too but a hop-on animation wold be greatly appreciated.

The owned chocobos are faster? Where did they say that? Sounds good and gives the players the motivation to do whatever we're required to do to unlock that.

This is regarding chocobo's speed everyone is wondering, we all know it's going to be faster than the PC, but between My Chocobo and Rental Chocobo; My Chocobo will be faster than the Rental Chocobo.

実際どのくらいだよ！と気になるところだと思います。
こちらは今、動画でご紹介しようと準備を進めていますのでもうしばらくお待ちください！
I understand you might say "How fast!?"
For this one we are getting ready to present a video showing this so please hang in there!

[Pulseczar]

Wow! The detail on the chocos are impeccable.

[Aion]

I like the music...the tempo is right, especially when you are going into a long ride...

[Sephr]

Yay! Looking forward to the horsebirds arriving at long last.

I hope they add a proper animation for when you summon it out in the field eventually, like it running up and you jumping on or something ala. olde FFs. On the other hand, that might take too long if you need a mount fast for whatever reason.

[Xmbei]

I really liked the video. Just one question.... Why is it Gridania Chocobo's being shown off in Thanalan XD!!!

[MeowyWowie]

I hope the instant mount when calling your chocobo is just a placeholder animation for the "Beta" chocobo system. I'd prefer to see them running to you from a distance like the moogle does in the open field in FFIX or have them fall out of the sky like fat chocobo in FFVII lol.

I'd also like to see us actually jump on the chocobo, not just spawn with it under us.

[Jynx]

Only complaint is that the chocobo "Spawns" underneath your character come on guys, even in XI the chocobo ran up to, and left you in the field.

Can't say I'm psyched that you can just summon your chocobo whenever the hell you feel like it for days on end...but whatever, at least they are coming and are well animated.

I'm hoping it'll cost us something, like gysahl greens.

[DoctorMog]

you just appear on them?

Darn,

Not a complaint by any means, but I had pictured in my minds eye that they would come running in(fading in) from a distance and there would be an animation of hopping onto them.

Can we get this at some point?

Pwease?
