[Request] don't let us 'freely color our chocobos'

[Macka]

since we are getting a chocobo breeding system, i am pretty sure its a safe bet that the colors will come from breeding not dyes, or else there would be no point in breeding.

If you watched Duty Commenced they said dye and breeding.

i don't disagree with making some game aspect behind why they are colored... but maybe leave off special snowflake abilities. Because as it was stated sooner or later everyone would just use the rarest/best color. I'd rather the color have a slight impact on the companion then be my deciding factor. Personally I'd rather run about with a red chocobo then a black or white one so to say because they are the best of the best or something.

From an interview 2011

Chuki : Dark thing, huh. Next, about raising chocobos, will we be able to have coloured chocobos with special abilities? For example, maybe a Red Chocobo casting fire spells? Something like that.
Naoki Yoshida : The colour variation is definitely important, it’s like how the Chocobo can have his own identity, but I’m not quite sure if that should be equal to the skillset, because if you have one colour, it automatically relates to a skillset. That’s really going to limit the identity of the Chocobo. We are going to make sure that when you are raising your Chocobo, you can sort of change the direction of the Chocobo, if it’s going to be more like a Healing Chocobo, more like a Fighting Chocobo or magic-related Chocobo. These are going to be the directions you can select when you are raising a Chocobo.

About the colours, for example, Black, Blue or Red, there’s a lot of important meaning behind that, considering the long history of Final Fantasy. We’re still thinking how we should bring these colours into the game and how special we want it to be when we bring the coloured Chocobos in the game.

For example, Black Chocobo, you have that image that is really strong, so maybe we should keep it as a rare colour. As a MMO, I think it’s really important to keep a Mount System related to that achievement system, so maybe we can keep these special colours for the achievements. We are really thinking carefully about how we want to introduce these different colours to the game.

Maybe for Tier 5, perhaps ANY colour then but simply adds a special glint/gloss so as not to eliminate "choice" in deciding which colour you'd prefer for your 'end-game' Chocobo.

Tier 4 would be the last "base color unlock" then, which would include Jet Black/Gold/White.

Pretty much this. Unlock x amount of colors per achievement/quest whatever. Tier it, and once you hit
maximum you can freely color it whatever you want. That way there's at least SOME effort.

If you allow willy-nilly coloring of all sorts on day 1, the "this is cool!" feeling won't last long. That's
just my opinion. Effort for reward, even if it's a more simple, less time consuming effort. It's something.
