Chocobo Companion Issues

[RyuDragnier]

It would work differently though. Due to there being special achievements and such for each tree, you'd have to re-level it.

Not necessarily. Knowing SE, if they give us a point reset for the chocobo, it will require max ranking on our GC and use up ALL of our Seals for just one reset. The barding could of course be locked like the various GC versions, so if you reset points, the barding is taken off automatically.

exactly. whats stopping someone who did get 1 to rank 10 in 1 class to get barding, respect for another barding, etc. it wouldnt be right to lvl it once to 10 and just be able to respect it often to get the stuff.

What's stopping a SCH from going SMN and getting their relic and being level 50 despite having only leveled as SCH? Absolutely nothing. They already set the precedent with SMN/SCH, this isn't exactly new ground being broken here.

SE already said they are adding a reset for chocobo (inb4MogStation), dont see why keep complaining when it was promised... So they didnt reveal the whole system when the game started so what? let the players find something out by themselves... Not everything have to be revealed and explained on day 1.

They should raise the skillcap of companions rather than just re-slot it.

Why pretend that it's customization when it only makes sense to stick to one route.

I hope they add mobs that can ONLY be soloed with a powerful companion. The potential is great but there's just no content in the game that requires the companions to exist. This would be good area to expand in a patch instead of just slapping a few more fates into the game.

Id like it if the level was 30 for the chocobo. just much harder to complete the bird and lets you get all the stuff for it. just add new chocobo stuff for breeding. gold saucer maybe?

A quest reward would be perfect for it.
There could be a quest that give you an item that reset the Chocobo skills and work only if a role is not already on max. This way everyone can only get a barding once and not every 3 of them. And because it is a quest reward you can only get the item once.

I duno why people are so worried about getting multiple bardings anyway, just have it so only a Tank chocobo can equip Tank armour etc.

I doubt many people will consider levelling a chocobo more than once anyway.

The best way they can do it, is have a quest unlock when you reach lvl 10 on your chocobo regardless of where you put the points which rewards you with 1 of the 3 bardings. (this solves all problems including people who have put points into more than 1 tree)

So I guess we need another topic about this? I agree that it does suck that you can not reallocate the stats on our chocobos but with everyone saying they were left unaware is their own fault. It tells you when you first get your companion and start to allocate stats it states something along the lines of, All stat placements are permanent and can't be removed. Its stated in the help pop up window that comes up when you first get your companion. Again it blows if you chose to ignore this and place stats where ever. Hope SE does something to fix this eventually. But I'm also happy with how it is, since I actually read the info.

It never said anything about barding being exclusive to one tree.
