Rank 10 chocobo problems! (Companion)

[Kule]

I said this before in an old thread but why not give rank 10 hybrid chocobos Onion barding? It would be fitting.

Well having hybrid chocobos comes with this easter egg : ChocoEaster.

This I gotta try~!

Sadly also done the same, put one point in healer for regen, then rest in DPS, didn't realise at the time it's a one time choice and you can't get the boarding for them unless all are in one tree

[Rykoshet]

yeah this is the problem i had started in attacker, realized i wanted heals...finished it off no barding;;

It's difficult to try and maximize my choco when I unknowingly made it a healer and a DPS. Now it's impossible for em to get the Rank10 perks. It makes me not even want to level it anymore.

The barding is not just a perk, but also a punishment. You guys have to look at this in 4 dimensions. You make your chocobo more versatile by skilling it up using multiple skill trees. That is a reward in of itself. By "specializing" your chocobo, you are severely limiting its functionality. To balance this, the barding becomes a consolation prize.

If you're skilling up your chocobo just for barding, you're doing it wrong. However, that being said, if SE were to implement a reset of some sort, it should only apply to chocobos below rank 10 or chocobos who have at least 1 point in a 2nd tree. This would prevent someone who already obtained barding in one line from getting a 2nd set of barding unfairly (everyone should be limited to 1).

The chocobos already have next to no utility. You can't be serious.

If they had such utility why would this thread exist?

Looks like someone doesn't know how to build their chocobo.

I haven't even built it. I'm just thinking of what use they have when at level 50, you don't really need any kind of help to kill anything on the map. If you could take the into duties, then I could see a point.
