Chocobos and Airships (09/22/2011)

I wonder how long until we can get Chocobo Feather Dye, so we can customize our personal choco.

So what I got from all these posts is this:

1. People have forgotten that it they are making the game for people starting so they have to work for their chocobo's unlike everyone pre this rushed to 50 and done all the quests prior to this release making it a "hand me" (hint: start over fresh and then tell me if it is just handing to you)

2. People have forgotten that to advance in ranks in the GC's you have to spend your Seal's. They have not stated the Seal cost for an advancement, and which level you must be to get your chocobo. So the chocobo is not just a mere 3000 seals because there is other costs that go into it.

3. This is the G.C. and these are general issue Chocobos, like actually joining the military and being given the material's needed to be a useful tool for the GC. We are not on a Chocobo farm trying to convince the owner to trust us with his steed's or having to raise one (yet) from egg. These are war bred Chocobos given to the troops. (Last I checked when I went to boot camp they didn't say "hey so this is where your boot's and clothes came from, and look this gun that you are about to shoot you have to work for it." No you are given it and you have to maintain it, care for it, that's it.

Agreed on all points.

wow are you ok? your head is spinning hard.

way to not answer the question lol. anyway im done no use in debating if your gonna spin everything.

Err.. are you ok? I did answer your question.
how did i not answer your question? You asked if FFXI is spoon feeding and i believe you were referring to the chocobo riding example. If you care to look back at my reply, i said i had quit back when it was rentals and not owning, where'd you'd blow into a whistle and by some miracle a frickn bird materializes under your @$$.
I'm spinning everything? You're the one nitpicking here on the chocobo example. I'm drawing attention to a much bigger picture.
I argue for keeping this game challenging, rewarding and fun to play. Being handed crap to me right away, whether it's teleports, Airships, Chocobos, mobs in a leve quest is not my idea of fun nor my understanding or expectation of an RPG, moreso MMORPG and certainly not FF.

Was kinda hoping the seal cost for the personal chocobo would actually be a bit more because 3000 seems a bit low to me. I mean, its a personal chocobo, usually that'd be something to really work towards. Plus, with the addition of repeatable quests for the GC's, i don't see why it couldn't have been more. Oh well, hopefully the future additions will be a quite a bit more work like the breeding!

Where is the motivation to even do these repeatable quests? The gear the companies have are mostly trash and anyone who has beaten the ogre in Darkhold will have enough seals to get the chocobo. That was another error too, giving seals for a dungeon run that doesn't even require a completion.

Exactly, no motivation at all. Not at this point at least but still.. making the price higher would have made the repeatable quests have a bit more weight. People will probably do them once just to see what it is and forget about them till the next patch which -MIGHT- allow for a little motivation. Can only hope that getting a chocobo wont be as easy as just joining the company and maybe going up one rank for choosing which you'll stay with.
