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

Wasn't aware that expanding brick fists were something that most FF's had. Then again it's not like outlandish designs are something outside the series scope with talking pruple octopi and man sized swords.
But as far as this games asthstetics run, yeah some of the design choices clash a bit with the grounded feel the game has. Of course it's all subjective wether you like it or not, personally I don't have much issue with the chocobo designs.
I do agree that those stupid fucking brickfists are a crime against Pugilists everywhere. But yeah, being silly and looking outlandish isn't exactly queer to the franchise.Wasn't aware that expanding brick fists were something that most FF's had.

Thread: "Why must chocobos be our companions"
skips everything else...
Answer: Because in Final Fantasy, Chobobos are Mans(and womens) and Lalafells and Roquegalkas and Miquotes and Elezens) BEST friend. nuff said

~'\[[_LEGACY_]]/'~TENTs because solo-friendly content forces me to want one!

I'd definitely prefer a Magitek armor to upgrade or mounted combat, chocobo pet seems weird but I won't knock it til I try it
IT"S CONCEPT ART! NOT FINAL INGAME ART! The team is not being "careless" Just because you personally don't like something doesn't mean it's bad and doesn't mean they should stop doing it.
We're not going to he baving chocobos following us around 24/7. Even if there were zero limits on its use, their usefulness is already limited by when and where chocobos can be called.I have to purposely gimp myself because I don't want to carry around a chocobo with me 24/7. Great game!
You can't call them in towns
You can't call them in cavern areas
You can't call them in instanced raids (though instances in outdoor locations you can)
You can't call them on other transportation
yada yada yada.
I don't expect this to change just because chocobos will be able to fight.
Beyond that... We all like certain contents more than others- that doesn't entitle any one of us to demand that they don't invest time in content that this person likes but that person doesn't. There's plenty enough content to go around for everyone.
