Why must chocobos be our companions

[casker]

Chocobos are not "big unwieldy beasts." Especially not in previous games. But here, they're outfitted for war so it makes sense.

Dude. You ride them. They are pretty big. If they are outfitted for war, give them armor, they don't need white mage robes. They have never had white mage robes except in maybe some chibi styled spin off game or a plushie doll.

Finally, again, looks are subjective. I don't think it looks "awful,"

Yes. Looks are subjective. I know. Why are you telling me this. I'm just giving my opinion. Because it's subjective. And I think they look like goofy and awkward.

but we also need to keep in mind that concept art doesn't translate 100% into what you see in the game. Often it varies greatly, especially in cases like this where the actual art style of the game is quite a bit different than the style employed by the concept artist.

pointless to bring up. you're just trying to make me be quiet because you don't like criticism. This is like when people were complaining about grass and animation and people got all sensitive and said "it's not finished, it COULD be different!!" I am critiquing what they showed. Not going to hold my tongue because well maybe what they showed will perhaps be different

As for concept art, since you seem to have just skipped over that part of what I said, I will reiterate that FFXIV implements concept art very closely into the game. Garuda, looks just like concept art. Behemoth concept art we saw looks just like in the trailer. Buildings in concept art implemented just like in the game. I think I would rather base my critique off of what they actually show us then the off chance that "hey maybe it will actually be different...stop complaining"

Don't use them then.

I have to purposely gimp myself because I don't want to carry around a chocobo with me 24/7. Great game!
