Colored Chocobo? Instead of monster mounts?

[valkiria]

Colored chocobos FTW!!

[Hyrist]

Um... they already said that there was going to be colored chocobos, as part of chocobo breeding.

They went into discription that they would keep the ability list of chocobos the same throughout the different colors for the sake of color only being a presitgue and asthetic thing.

So the entire argument of this thread and it's individual post is a red-herring. It has absolutely no bearing on Chocobo Colors whether or not we have monster mounts.

And to top it off, we're ALREADY going to be getting Magitek Armor mounts too, so why NOT monster mounts? I've been a very strong proponent of Wyverns being introduced as mounts instead of tied to Dragoon mechanics too. If anything, this ads a great element into the lowman/solo mechanic to be able to have such companions with you at call, and battle ready.

So no, I can't support any movement against it. Why lessen our options when we can make the game such a richer experience by adding more?

Sure, chocobos should be getting a good deal of attention, but they already are, as seen in development photos, interviews, and other information avenues.

Why do some people think that limiting features of the game is a good thing?

Hurray for colored chocobos!
And hurray for magitech armor thingies.

But random monster mounts should be a Beastmaster thing ONLY. Otherwise..it's absolutely stupid.

If you want exotic mounts go play "other mmo"

FF way of travel? hmmm Choco, airships,boats and on few times magitek armor
how many times have you while playing FF game rode a flying eye? drake? goobue? or any other crack pot idea they do other wise?
good job Yoshi with keeping with the FF feel -10 points yoshi with "keeping with the FF feel"

Whats next magic carpets? 2 seat rockets? special mounts we buy with rl money? motorcycles and trikes?

You ride Bikes and cars and trucks and Mech and tanks and many many other stuff in FFVII and its many spin off, FFVIII and FFXIII vs.
Wyvern? FFV.
You ride a Castle? FFVI! Well technically you were in the Castle, not ride on the Castle, but it's still a moving Castle.
Shoopuf? FFX.
So much for FF feeling.

If you havin' gil problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but my 1 gil ain't one

Did they say something that implied they didn't plan to give us different colors with breeding?

[Alhanelem]

Why does it seem to me that a new final fantasy game can't introduce any kind of new elements or concepts whatsoever or its fanbase will decry it as 'not having that final fantasy feel?'

I don't think that having other creatures to ride besides chocobos removes "final fantasy feel" from the game.

For the love of all that is holy, people, let the franchise be able to evolve over time.

And don't forget the white chocobo and black chocobo in FF IV, too
And all the chocobos in FF T

Alright, you got me with those. I completely forgot about the chocobos you could kill in FFXII. I guess I was simply referring to breeding.

Chocobo breeding coming later....people should really read dev posts...

[Arkine]

We can have both, why not both?

If riding mobs is iffy to some people, it doesn't have to be mobs, it could be variants of mobs, domesticated or be equipped with some artifacts that makes them docile and obedient.
