Colored Chocobo? Instead of monster mounts?

[Kio]

no please ... colored chocobo means different abilities

dont change chocobo facts in this game

Unfortunately its one part of the lore that sorta has to be broken for it to work within a MMO. It's a little unfair to prevent people from having their favorite colors. Or, basically throws the entire breeding system out the window if everyone only will ever use, say, a gold chocobo. What can be done though is make it so that certain colors are natively more dispositioned for a certain task, but not enough that would prevent someone from using it over a different color. For instance, blue chocobo could have movement speed +1 over water tiles.

Personally though, I thought that having colors be purely aesthetic worked just fine in XI.

Little hint to Yoshi-P and the devs. They exists in pretty much all FF's. Way better then random evil mounts and brings out a "FF-esque" atmosphere.

The THM in Uldah CS has a hard time controling the Gobbue and we are gona ride em?
Ahrimans are evil as @!(*# and im gonna sit on his giant eye?

I think colored chocobos and customizable armor is more FF. Hell why not make em breedable and giving em diff appearance. (Ex: Bigger beak, more tail feathers, longer legs, smaller neck.)

Appealing to the FF fans is what is needed ~ Not copy/pasting other mmos.

(My opinion^_^)

They already decided on mounts, they won't go back on their decision at this point. So this thread is pointless.

I did not read the thread but i read the OP and i say a keyword that everyone hates which im glad yoshia does not.

OPTIONS


Why o why does it have to be my way or the highway with everyone? This thread should be asking why can we not have both?

Now he is downgraded to a silly mount which every dump can ride on. go on with that. welcome to FF Zoo/pokemon atmosphere.

My main concern though is that chocobos are always the main focus. I don't feel that in a FF game that any other mount should be as good or as beneficial as a chocobo.

Rather than building a carousel out of all the exp mobs in the game, I'd look more forward into customizing my chocobos with different colors and features and skillsets as well as gear.

I keep seeing this argument jumping to the conclusion of having a ton of mounts cluttering up the game, or mob mounts replacing chocobos as a staple mode of transport, but it's simply not true.

Those three example mounts are things Yoshi is considering as offering for a reward for people who play before 2.0. They're a special, rare, one time deal, and they'll only get more and more rare the older they get. This isn't something that just anyone can attain, here.

I would totally love to have various colours of chocobos.

I also wonder if purple would be among the available colours Pretty, please~!!!

I second this. I would love purple so much. Favourite colour! I would also like to see white. :x
Many many options for customizing chocobos please!
I hope other mounts stay few in number, as a thing on the side.

Options people...

We will have different colored chocobos, we will have different size and forms of Chocobos and we will have different mounts to choose besides a chocobo. A little bit for everyone.

No to: only Chocobo mounts in the game.

I can't picture how a Goobbue would work with characters who have longer legs. Do we sit on them backwards so our feet don't hang down in their eyes?
I was confused about how Ahriman would work also.. But then I thought, maybe it could pull a little balloon wagon like some chocobos do. That would make more sense to me at least. XD

I don't want chocobos in place of these gifts though.. We're getting chocobos later anyways.
I can't wait to try to collect every colour chocobo. >:3 But I'll also be happy with a drake.

Have you seen this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-TMlzgZ528

Should answer your questions on how they would be mounted (in this test, anyways).

I missed the Ahriman and Goobbue the day of the live letter, thank you very much!~ ^-^
I was hoping someone had either a screen-shot or video of it. I didn't think Ahriman could be that big either. That actually looks kinda cool. :3 (Though if we can only have one [and if these will be finalized] I'd still choose Drake I think.)

And silly me didn't consider the chars could be cross-legged atop the Goobbue.. lol /blush
It doesn't even look silly or anything.
SE really did a great job on these. I look forward to them even more.
Thanks again!
