Company Seals for your own chocobo THATS IT?!

[Reika]

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.

And V, with Boco.

But the seals you need to buy a chocobo issuance dont just magically pop into your inventory when you create your character, you have to work for them. Thus you have to work for your chocobo. You have to work for rental chocobos too, a whole 10 ranks of work :P.

Except you forget the part about needing seals and having to get a rank up through quests in order to get your chocobo. Sorry you are not a new player but if you look at it from a new player point of view there is enough progression before you get your own chocobo and the quests will be at their level.

Yikes, some angry people around here. :/ If it makes you that angry why not try doing something else for a while? To me the mount is just a means of getting around faster for those who have passed a certain point in the game. Why do you think they grouped the announcement together with information about airships? As a new player I know that it takes a fair amount of time to collect a few thousand seals.

Working for seals by doing a bunch of unrelated tasks is not the same thing as having a quest that explains through lore about how and where you got your chocobo and why it trusts you.

It's not really a Personal chocobo if you have no personal relationship with it.

Technically, it isn't. Simply put, its a wartime steed. Thats it.

Future patches will usher in customizable barding along with a system for developing your chocobo. A host of other content is also in the works, including those designed to nurture the bond between man and bird, and adventurers can look forward to a fulfilling and lasting companionship with their chocobos.

It's in the lodestone post.

It's as personal as you want to make it. I assure you that Poor Bastard and myself will have quite a close relationship.

You seem a lot more interested in complaining and being negative, than in enjoying what is essentially a fun game. Why not try lightening up a bit, instead of posting over and over again about how much something you've never seen or done sucks?

This is Final Fantasy, a Chocobo is and has always been more than a Mount. Your supposed to have a relationship with the thing that build over time. That's why they are implimenting all those features.

To simply buy a chocobo makes it A chocobo not YOUR chocobo.

This is a game. If I can exchange a few thousand seals that I earned with time and sweat I would consider the mount mine. Why that makes some people so angry I do not know.

The world of Ivalice, which is somewhat similar to Eorzea, says different. These are still company trained chocobos. Maybe they should've changed the name from personal to Company Chocobo. Either that or think of it as purchasing a pet. You buy a baby animal, and then over time you bond with it and you become inseparable.

Anyway, if you dont want it, just rent chocobos until breeding is in game, then go from there.

Think of it like this:

Work for the company, purchase your insurance that allows you the ability to ride and own a chocobo (and it seems to be more than liability so no worries there), then "bond" with it over time by giving it a name and training it once that feature is implemented.
