Chocobo companion timer.

[Ransu]

Is there a point to this being a thing anymore? I question to reasoning of a companion still being locked to being a 30 minute summon. I mean you can make the argument of greens being some kind of gil sync.....but they cost next to nothing so outside of that and maybe being a coding issue I can't understand why its still a thing.

The timer can be extended to 60min with greens.

[Ransu]

Sure, but my point is why is it even necessary to have a timer anymore? Not even really sure why it existed to begin with honestly, especially back in the day when the timer would get shorter as your chocobo leveled. The whole thing is weird.

pretty sure Yoshi answered a question like this
"Your buddy gotta eat too"
something like that

Well you don't expect your chocobo to fight with you without getting anything to eat do you?

A reply like that kinda tells me its spaghettis code that they don't want to mess with.

Personally I'd prefer a more WoW hunter concept, can keep your pet out indefinitely but feeding them improves their mood and therefore their stats. Add some food to each zone that the birb can eat, some generic some potent. I have some fond memories taking care of my pet like that. Although if I recall correctly WoW killed pet food stuff, which imo is kind of sad.

OP gyshal Greens are so cheap we can basically have them out infinitely, but man do I also wish the timer were gone. Seeing it there ticking down is surprisingly stressful...

I remember that! Goodness, I miss all of the little bits and pieces players used to be able to do in that game to make the world that much richer...

Sadly, they've spent the last several expansions doing everything they can to remove most things from world content, instead focusing almost completely on dungeons / raids. >_<

But anyway, back to the topic at hand: Yeah, maybe having a timer isn't technically necessary anymore, but admittedly the thought of it doesn't bother me at all. To be honest though, I'm still working toward unlocking my Chocobo, but I'm really looking forward to it! (Maybe not having had to deal with it for a long time makes the idea more palpable, lol)

It would be nice if your chocobo would eat a greens automatically after its timer runs out, something you could disable or enable.
