Came here to see people crying about actually having to work for something, leaving satisfied.

I read the preview and I kinda like it. My choco is rank 10 already, it would be nice to increase their level cap. I have some mixed feelings with the gardening stuff, since my FC is gathering all the glazenuts the can get and there'll be little room for choco snacks. This is a personal problem, of course. But still, I hope these things are not cross-breed veggies, because that would piss me off. The 2.3 preview video featured some "mini-games" (I hope) during the training. But my guess points that it's some small cutscene about the task you previously assigned to them. Probably becoming repetitive after a while.

I would like to check it out when the patch goes live, even though my attention goes primarily to the mark system (aka hunting). Hopefully the whole chocobo raising will be expanded as the game grows old.

Anyone know how to get this "Magick Broom" ?

Will it be a one time use item and you have to buy one every time you want to clean? I want to help my FC by cleaning the stables. :P

Looking at your sig, you really love your chocobo. I guess weapon still comes first even for you.

Speculation on Stable pricing? If personal rooms are 300k... Stables I'm sure will be many times that.

I can tell already that tying it to gardening will create a gigantic bottleneck. Locking out the ability to call them out is also sort of crude... I mean as it is now, where are we supposed to assume our mounts are when we haven't called them out?

... why, off helping haul roofs for your ventures of course!

I think that at the very least 1 type of feed should come from outside gardening. Several types of feed should be available from crafting (Culinarian and Alchemist maybe), and others should come from gathering.

Making all feeds come from gardening seems like a ridiculous bottleneck. Hopefully, they actually meant that you can get chocobo feed from gardening but neglected to refer that you can also get it from other sources. The rank cap remover being a gardening only item I'm ok with. These will sell for a lot, but ultimately, the need for them won't be as great as with the other feeds once you reach rank 20 on your choco.

Hopefully that will be an option as I am currently crossbreeding seeds to make minions and I don't want to suddenly stop just because there's no other way to feed my chicken
