Chocobos and Airships (09/22/2011)

We're not asking for another Lu Shang's fishing rod here, but something which is rewarding.

Believe it or not I almost wanted to get that fishing rod lol.... I gave up 120 carps or so later

Yup my thoughts as well. the choco breeding should take a while not riding

Agreed. Once they get the initial implementation down solid, then go with additional content like breeding/racing/customizations/etc. If they do something similar to what I outlined in the chocobo thread, I'll be a happy camper.

There should be a quest that you have to complete to be able to run! You start the game WALKING ONLY!

...same with sitting. Up until rank 10, you haven't unlocked the "My Knees Work!" ability. (Slot cost: 7)

But I want a Chocobo Boss fight that takes a 4 party alliance with specific Jobs to beat and takes hours of walking with sneak/vis which wears off in random timeframes for no apparent reason causing our group to fight Hi-Level Aggro Mobs that keep killing half the PT members and our White Mages esp. keep getting killed trying to heal everybody so we have to wait another 30 mins for each KO'd character to get back to our current position because they forgot to set there homepoint at the nearest crystal and when we finally beat the Boss Choco we find that 1/3 of the peeps forgot to properly activate the quest, another 1/3 forgot to click on the key item after the fight and the remaining 1/3 are the Uber-Geared Hi-Lvls that vow to never help with this run again.

Gimmie HARDCORE!

Well, one can hope that Bred Chocobo's might have an inventory space and be faster depending on the quality of chocobo you are able to breed, leading to it being even more beneficial than the company version.
Maybe they'll even add a sprint function for the Bred type, which can improve and decrease the sprint duration depending on the quality leading to the possibility of racing as well.
Maybe Maybe they'll even go as far as to add Taming Weapons like in FF10, and we'll be able to find chocobo's in the wild with random stats, and when we defeat one with a taming weapon, it goes into our stable ;o

im sorry, wtf is that in ur sig?

I'm just disappointed the chocobo flag quest won't be in Ishgard like I hoped.

For a nation that (maybe) prides itself on mounts it woulda made sense.

How about adding a chocobo relevant quest as a prerequisite to move beyond recruit in the Grand company?
3k is very easy to achieve... Heck I have over 6000 right now (thats over 6000 in each city), without any access to repeatable content.

Please, SE. Dont' make the augmented chocobo you can purchase from GC be so easy as plopping down some seals at the counter. You already established a chocobo plague in your background stories, don't squander that! The story specifically says that they cannot rent out chocobos because there are so few healthy ones to go around...
