Colored Chocobo? Instead of monster mounts?

[Zeref]

Whoa now, some people like to think more of their chocobo than some kind of soulless transport slave.

More relevantly, though, it's more than getting from A to B, since they will also be equippable and combat capable soon, as well as possible being able to carry items and other uses.

Customizing chocobos through breeding wouldn't just affect their physical appearance, but also their abilities and stats, which would affect transport and combat alike. Not to mention how cool it is to have a chocobo personally tailored to your tastes, and uniquely different than your friend's chocobo, etc.

Some people can consider it all they want, I'm sure at least one person here has a Chocobo as a religion, opinions are different from fact, Also that "soon" is more than a year from now, and you don't need breeding for different stats, that's what the armor is for bro, you don't breed you a new lallafell every time you want stronger stats, do you?

Umm did you ever play or know anyone who played XI? They had breeding in there and the way you bred your chocobo determined a LOT of these above aspects. So unfortunately, you'll need to come up with another synopsis as to why this shouldn't be done. Oh and btw, there was no XP for you while breeding; it was basically a very intense and challenging mini-game.

Umm, did you ever play God of War? They don't have chocobos there at all!
See? I can call out different products as well, XI is not XIV, it's not the same engine, it's not the same game, and though this has gotten my post deleted on more than numerous accounts, I won't stop saying it to people that like to call out names, You are free to leave and play XI right now if you want to, nobody is holding you back. as for "needing a new synopsis" how in the HELL, does "its difficult on the system resources" relate to "a different game does it differently durr" or even contradict it to that matter to where i should consider another "synopsis"

Forget the monster mounts. If I want all the sillyness that comes with that I'll go resub to WoW. I want to play FINAL FANTASY. The standard means of transportation are ships, airships, chocobos, and various mechanical devices. Not random monsters that appear in the world.

Pft. Why destroy the FF lore for that feature? Different colored chocobos always had things others couldn't do.

This is incorrect. There is no lore in XIV that says different colours mean different abilities, and it has not been this way in every Final Fantasy game. Check out FFXI sometime.

I don't think it would be very fun to feel like I need to breed and ride a red chocobo to accomplish something when I favour green, so I do hope if they add abilities they don't make them colour specific. I would like to customize my chocobo to be exactly how I like.

Can't we have both? ._.

We will. People are just silly.

Why make them breedable? what would it acomplish? This isn't really a farmsville, and its not a single-player game either, you'd hardly have anything but another thing to pointlessly gain EXP in.

I don't know about breeding, but raising is coming.

I'm all up for different colors, but different sized limbs and breeding options seem just like a waste of time considering its just a means to getting from point A to point B faster.

They aren't just a means to getting from point A to point B faster, they are battle buddies too.

[Zeref]

they are battle buddies too.

You are aware its not real right? it won't die if you leave it, it won't miss you, it won't eat or sleep, if this is your idea of a "buddy" you're living a sad life bro.

No where in Felis' post was any of that implied. So why did you decide to start being rude?

About what the hell do you speak? I speak about the buddy system coming with 2.0 where the chocobo can fight with you.
Maybe you need to read more interviews?

When I realized 90% of the forum goes are hellbent on either ruining this game, turning it into more of a grind, or making into FFXI-2, don't like it? i'm not forcing you to read or respond.
