Why exclude people from Chocobo raising?

[Purrfectstorm]

It only takes 3 people to form an FC. Instead of joining an FC, just form your own. The other people don't even need to remain in your FC once formed. You can be an FC of one, buy an FC house that you could have all to yourself, and not be left out of any content.

This sounds great until you realize there are only a certain number of houses available and they are all sold out. So even legit FCs are screwed at this point because there arent any houses left.

at least on my server theres still plenty of houses available in all wards, the only ones getting scarce are the mediums. on that note tho, they are opening new wards in every district in patch 2.3. so your argument is still invalid

Ok 1st I can say for sure that there is NO way in hell EVERY house is sold on any server, I just moved off one of the top 3 server in the US that had over 900 FC made and 50k players over all and even they had a lot of land open in Ul'd, Iv looked at many server and have like 8 alts all over on some if the big server out there... so i cant see there being 0 land open, Yes LL may be sold out 100% on many server but that about it lol

now if there is a server that is 100% sold out all 3 zones then please show me.. But as far as i know here is not one server 100% sold out!

Greetings,

Just as was mentioned in Letter from the Producer LIVE XV, as of patch 2.3 it will only be possible to raise chocobos if you are part of a free company that has a house; however, we are looking into making it possible to raise chocobos via chocobo porters as well in the future.

Thank you Camate, but I think we require a little more information. The even bigger issue here is the fact no one has addressed the number of chocobos we will be allowed to raise in the stables. I understand it was stated "one, for now" in the live letter, but that fails to explain whether it's "one per FC member, with a max of 8* members' chocobos being raised at any given time" or "one chocobo at a time per FC, and the FC must decide the order in which its members chocobos will be raised".

Please clarify as this information is crucial for players to have before this content is released. Thank you!

That's massively over complicating the issue. Why would it be limited? Let us use the new personal rooms as a model here. You buy a personal room that you access through a door. Every player who has a personal room accesses it through the same door. This has no limitations on the number of personal rooms.

Why would you even think the house would support a limited number? It will work the same way with 1 stable usable by every single player at the same time. Any and all limitations like you suggested would be entirely unrealistic. Is your glass half empty and you just expect everything to be the worst way possible right out of the gate until you get clarification otherwise?

As for multiple chocobos what they meant was one per person. You're companion was specifically mentioned. This gives further context that what they meant was 1 per player. Not per guild.


Lastly

however, we are looking into making it possible to raise chocobos via chocobo porters as well in the future.

They are already working on it. You'll just have to wait a bit longer.

One word - garden. Unless you know what nobody else does we can assume based on the statement from Yoshi about having chocobo stables at your "garden" (hopefully that's just a bit loose translation and means yard / outside area of the FC house) it could be very well limited and even depending on the size of the plot / house. So the question about numbers here is quite valid. I'd imagine (at that's just example, no official numbers) that each estate will be limited to ONE chocobo stable with different sizes / amount of "cots" - lets say 4, 6 and 8 for small, medium and large plot respectivelly. While this is my "guess" against yours it's as well (if not more) realistic as yours.

I got the same idea as well. According to previous new-added features,
i.e. like npc vendor and gardening, it would be very logical to think if chocobo stables have different size and number of slots for different size of houses...^^;

I believe that you're missing the question part of the below Q&A...

Q30: How many chocobos can you raise at the same time?

A30: Since this is for companions, just one for now. We are planning to expand content in phases, and in the future when the Gold*ahem* and the Chocobo*ahem* are implemented, you’ll be able to raise more.
