And Yoshi said: LET THERE BE CHOCOBO BREEDING!

"He was less willing to share when the subject of a release date came up. More generally, said Yoshida, he hoped to bring an early alpha test online by late September, which will roll directly into a much larger beta test. He hopes to have the game out sometime in winter (“ish,” he said) of this year."

2.0 delayed?

I noticed this too... The official Japanese timeline shows Alpha Test starts about August 1 followed by Beta Test around October 1. The Beta Test is followed by the PS3 Test in December and version 2.0 release in January 2013. The schedule is so complicated that the reporter might have gotten confused.

Confirmed in an interview here that everything is still on schedule based on the roadmap:

No need to speculate

That article also says the game takes place in "the city of Aorzia" and that we currently ride around on "Magi Tech Armor."

I'd take it all with a grain of salt.

Confirmed in an IGN interview with Yoshida that the chocobo raising is ligit.

Glad to see it all turned out to be correct. That article was still a slap in the face to anyone who writes professionally.

I'd be more worried over whether it will be a step up from the waste of time/resources/code that chocobo breeding was in FFXI...

No arguments there man, they do indeed make spell check and college courses on fact checking for a reason.

I love to have an own chocobo stable with multiple chocobos in my player house!

But it sounds like we will get them AFTER 2.0 in our houses.

4 stalls, one for each type of skill tree there is for chocobos The MMO equivelant of a 4 car garage baby!

[Azraelle]

To be honest, I'm excited about breeding chocobos, but not excited about giving them battle skills. I don't really want to have every class become a pet class as you wander around with your mighty battle-bird.

It wasn't until I read this that i realized one of the new screenshots was of the chocobo breeding farm -_-

My detective skills are sub par it seems, but its hard to see things clearly when your mouth is open and filled with drool.

Where do you go to see these new screen shots?
