About pets

[Kaizlu]

This seems like a good spot to drop some information that we recently heard from Yoshida... He mentioned that the dev. team is currently thinking about two different approaches.

The first is pet-related content where players can raise chocobos and other mounts that anyone can ride. The second idea is centered around pets that can only be utilized by specific jobs.

However, we won't be picking just one concept to implement. Instead we will be looking into the specifications so that we can implement both. However, as we are not yet at the stage where we can disclose when the implementation timing will be. We hope that the current chocobo implementation planned for 1.19 will hold you all over in the meantime.

This is now a Chocobo thread.

Really excited for chocobos. Other mounts.... not so much. Personally I'd be thrilled if chocobos were the only mount. Great news anyways though

Now I saw this in the dev tracker and even though I'd read the thread before it the topic didn't ring a bell, so I thought it was about vanity pets. Now that the mental image has taken hold, I can't abandon the thought of my baby pet Chocobo.

So this means chocobo raising won't be implemented when they're first introduced in 1.19?

That's a bit dissapointing because this whole time we've been told they were being delayed so they could be "more than mounts"... Whereas right now it sounds like they're gonna be just that for the time being... ._.
