Seriously SE ? (dual rider chocobo)

[Kuwagami]

Well, ok I really hate to rant, but that is going a bit too far imo.

So we heard a while back about mounts that could be ridden by 2 people (basically, an other player could mount on your chocobo). It was coming along marriage informations, and we were happy to get it with the marriage feature as, per example, a vanity mount reserved for couples.

And yet.... found this.

Apparently, SE decided that dual-mounter chocobos would be better in a referral program. Why ?

Referral programs used to give fair advantages to the new guys (1st month reward does nice on that) and few advantages for the veteran to help newbs (1st month again, perfect score). Why would you put a vanity mount there, and specially a mount that had been expected as a marriage feature for obvious reasons ?

If it happened that the mount was only for referral and dual-mounter mounts wouldn't make an appearance at all in the marriage feature (couples, they WANT to be together, right ?), it would be utterly disappointing and would onl encourage people to pay the 3 month on a mock account just to get the feature....


seriously, why did you have to do that ?

Well, let's not jump to conclusions, that may just be one implementation. Perhaps this "draught chocobo" will be for recruiters (it makes sense, it lets you help a new adventurer get around to places much more easily, plus who wouldn't wanna ride tandem on a chocobo with their friends?) and there'll be another special chocobo of a different type specifically for couples to ride on? Might even make the seating a bit more, er, "cozy" for the latter; the draught one looks like it basically has two saddles.

Maybe that one is specifically for the friend you recruited and there will be a separate one for the person you married?

Personally I just want a dual mounted Chocobo to use with anyone. Having it tied to one other specific person ( imo ) is dumb, unless as Ariele mentioned, there's gonna be different versions.

They did already show us a design (even if it was just concept art) for the wedding Chocobo, and I doubt they'd scrap the idea after showing it to everyone.

It's not tied to a specific other person. You just need to be recruiter to get it, then anyone that parties with you can ride with you, according to the text.

Agree with you on that

P.S I saw a big white chocobo on my server today. It looked great

Looks like you can use it with anyone judging by the pics.

I'm never going to get it since none of my friends play computer games

I'm never going to get it because I value their friendship so wouldn't recommend this game to them in its current state.
