Lmao isn't the chocobo kinda almost obsolete content that they abandoned? They need to give the chocobos some love...

The Chocobo is one of the most consistently useful features in the game, due to the usefulness of Bicolor Gemstones, having a pocket Healer makes FATE farming substantially more bearable solo, and gives some jobs something to bounce off of , like a DNC will be able to Partner their Chocobo and make their skills work properly in otherwise solo situations. I do think Chocobos could afford to be buffed, it doesn't operate well at all roles like it is supposed to and Tank Chocobo is completely useless due to its enmity generation being far to weak to hold aggro of a level 100 DPS, but it's hardly "almost obsolete".

Oh, and also the fact that the Company Chocobo is the only customizable mount in the game and all Bardings apply to it as a mount is great to some people.

So, the only functional job the chocobo has is just healer and you can only play dress up with it? I feel like when they did the stat squish in EW my chocobo felt abit weaker in terms of heals, but it could be just me. It would be nice to see them revisit the chocobo, give it buffs and/or more skills/levels beyond 10. I've never seen anyone using the chocobo as a mount so it feels the dress up is really niche unless you're grinding gemstones all the time.

I think chocobos are adorable but it makes me sad that the only content they get is just dress up.

I guess I meant obsolete in terms that they're not getting any buffs/abilities and their useage is pretty niche, in my opinion I guess. Perhaps obsolete is improper.

I like using my chocobo, though I typically stick with the motorcycle because it being faster by default until I get riding maps

I believe it's only tank that is really useless in terms of the stance it can have
You almost always want it to be attacker or healer
Whenever I am a healer I have it attack, otherwise it heals
It can be helpful in some of the open world content when you don't have a reliable way to heal, especially if you make its favorite food the mimett gourds

I do agree that the dressup part is pretty niche, and I would like to see them look back at the companion and see what can be done with making it more useful but it still has its uses as is

I was pretty happy I got mine to level 20 finally, it helped with shared fates in Tural
