[dev1082] How about a mounted class?

[Winterclaw]

Instead of chocobos as mere transportation, why not have them as a class of their own that can ride around and do battle. Your weapon would be reigns or a chocobo flute. When you equip it, you are put on top of a chocobo and you can run around with it and use it in battle. Your chocobo would have it's own special attacks like kick, peck, and choco meteor.

To go along with your chocobo you'd have a crafting class just for it. To "repair" your bird, you'd feed it greens. The choco-crafter is the class you'd switch to to do so. Maybe he'd also build equipment for your bird or things to breed or evolve your bird.

I'd love seeing Chocobo Knight as a LNC job. I can just imagine it...you being able to fight with chocobo as pet or mount it and fight mounted! Would be very interesting you having actions for both knight and chocobo that can only be used if mounted or not! ^^ Even the auto attack could change...while mounted you attacking twice and having much stronger high TP cost WSs or staying separated and they both having their own light TP WSs.

Would be cool and all but I find it really hard to believe that some people would really want to bother the devs with something like this when they have so many more important things to worry about.

I'm all for a class/job-specific mounted class such as Chocobo Knight. I really think it could work as a pet class that u can mount in battle. Plus, NOW would be the time to mention it to SE since they are at this very moment getting the new jobs realized.

I'm wondering if they will have the Magitek/Terra FF6 style mounts that Tanaka had in mind. That'd make for an awesome engineered mount. Hell, that could spawn an engineer class (steampunk style of course) too.

Anyway, back on topic... I think some ppl have also proposed chocobo jousting (pvp?) and chocobo raid battles/caravan protection quest scenarios. I mean, why else would they be wearing armor if not to ride INTO BATTLE with them!? And don't even get me started on how cool archery would be while mounted.

This is a great idea! You can have a choco pet to help you attack, OR you can mount it! That's sooo fun!

Same with DRG. LET US MOUNT OUR DRAGONS AND CARBUNCLES

At 1st I thought this would be better of as a LNC Job but then I start to think of the other classes mainly ARC and GLA.

not been following much as im preoccupied playing the game, but will there be a Musketeer class seeing as there a guild in LL for it? if yes then I want mounted marksmen (dirty jokes aside)

A thought, they could make the chocobo take up a party member slot(like adventuring fellows did) then they would be balancing the class/job/extension or w/e against 2 party members instead of 1. Also could make gyshal greens/dried peppers have an effect on them during battle.

Alaltus, wasnt it Dead Peppers not Dried Peppers?

or allow us to call our NPC from the storyline to help us in battle? i think that be a better idea then allowing a chocobo attack with limit attack and can't be set as healer lol.
