Chocobo Content Update (Hot and Cold mini game, Chocobo Paradise, Beast Tribe, etc)

[MsQi]

I think Chocobos should be allowed in Eureka.

I'd like to see chocobo dungeons. 4 players with their chocobos. The dungeons could be entirely original or altered versions of existing dungeons. Instead of dropping gear for you, they drop chocobo related items such as food and new barding.

Chocobo Hot & Cold was my least-favourite thing about FFIX. :/

Banned! :P

That's okay though, I also loved the jump rope and card game lol. I'm a sucker for those FF mini-games. Although, do you think it possible to make it more interesting to you (without making it something 100% different)?

That would be a great idea to keep some of the older content going. I think the trust system, squadron system, and the companion system could see some marrying such that these likely to die down in interest after it's no longer end game dungeons, group restricted contents, and the like are still complete-able.

The chocobo dungeons could be pretty neat, could even add portions where you get to ride them in a dungeon lol. I can imagine one scene where your chocobo runs even faster than normal and you're barreling down a hallway trying to dodge all the aoes hehe.

I personally found H&C quite satisfying. People seem to think it's slow and boring but it's meant to be relatively fast paced. If you play it slowly your progress is extremely slow. If you learn how to quickly narrow down locations you can clear each map in a few minutes and level up quickly. I liked the chocograph part where you go out into the world to find specific locations. A Chocobo H&C section could be incorporated into the sight seeing log.

I would like to see this content as alternative ways to level your chocobo. The beast tribe quests should be specifically geared toward using your chocobo and the conversations are between your chocobo and the chocobo NPCs while your character stands by looking confused most of the time.

I also found it quite fun too

Definitely the beast tribe having ways to level and improve your chocobo, they better! haha I'd be sad otherwise.

Question, I thought our Echo let us translate languages on the fly? I think it could be cute to have your chocobo speak for you, but I'm thinking in lore we should understand our birds right? I guess if it was non-verbal we'd be confused. W..wat was that a kweh and three pecks or a kweh and two struts??? Also could be that we start the quest from our bird (we find Chocobo Paradise via our own chocobo) and part of the beast tribe is ranking up our status so they stop treating us like we're so lucky our bird brought us, cause we're lowly peasants to the great chocobos.

It's been a long time since I played, but I just remember it being tedious and luck-based. And I think also that it had a short time limit and then you had to restart the whole thing, instead of just keeping on going until you found something.

I did like the "finding treasure chests from Chocographs" element but that's not really tied to the minigame itself, and isn't that far off what we already do with identifying treasure map locations. Though it could certainly be introduced as a different treasure map system.
