Company Seals for your own chocobo THATS IT?!

[Pandastirfry]

Maybe, but werent personal chocobos that were purchased slower than rentals, unless you went through a decent breeding process/other things? Besides, we'll have plenty of time for things like that when we get to train our Chocobos for battle or whatever else they have planned.

not at first, orginally it was just luck of the draw if you got one of the colored ones. (you were more likely to get a colored one from a drop, than the purchased, but I still got a red for a purchased egg) Actual attributes to the chocobo didn't come until Breeding and Racing were introduced.

When XI first introduced personal chocobos they didn't have breeding that came in a later patch.

edit: Oh yeah and the actual attributes for you chocobo were affected by how much time you spent(wasted) in actually going and talking to your chocobo while it was still a chick. if you spent no time with it, it was AS fast as a rental, not slower.

Companies chocobo's are already raised to be used in war and set aside for company members, which is why they are faster than rentals.

Chocobos from eggs were just born and aren't as strong as a rental chocobo, which has had much more exercise.

Thats my reasoning for it anyways.

Are you trying to say SE chose the easiest possible route to do sonething?! A content addition so minimal that not even the most pessimistic of players could have seen it coming?! Surely this is the first feature ever that doesn't live up to FF-standards! Oh yeah it's kind of a trend with XIV developement and has been for the past 13 months. Not saying we should be ok with such low standards but I wonder if there really is anyone listening at all?

FF standard is:
Enter the chocobo forest -> catch a chocobo -> ride the chocobo
No quest needed

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Agreed with Darte and AdvancedWind.

And if there's a chocobo we raise ourselves, that can be the quest / minigame.

In-game time, years have passed (which makes events seem crazier since they're celebrated for an entire in-game year.

Actually personal chocobos started out slower than rentals. If you maxed out their speed you would go as fast as rentals.

it's been awhile, so I don't remember all the details, much of XI's time wasti...I mean challenging content just got too much for me

That is a quest...

Don't worry, I understand. Thinking about Dynamis puts me to sleep =P

That is a quest...

If that's a quest then so is pay seals > get chocobo.

[Kiote]

If that's a quest then so is pay seals > get chocobo.

Find Forest > Speak to Moogle about chocobo > catch chocobo > get chocobo

is a world apart from

Buy chocobo

Not that any of that is relevent because Most FFs didnt even give you a personal chocobo you had to catch a new one every time.

Nine and Eleven being the only exceptions.

[Gramul]

You're gonna cry when the Grand Company quests may give you only around 50-100 Seals and telling yourself why you didn't preserve your 1'000 Seals =D

Well if they do that I'd be a little more okay with it.
