    Give me a Chocobo dungeon. :/

    Ive talked to friends about this awhile and we all love the idea of having a few dungeons with the ability to have a chocobo with you. Not as mount, purely as support...

    Make it light party or something so 2 players and their chocobo.
    Personally I love the idea of this and the potential difficulty. It might even be as fun as running dungeons with no tank.

    I think that with the way chocobo companions work right now, this wouldn't really work. You can build your choco with any combination of skills. I've chosen to raise mine as a healer, and I always put him into healing stance, but he's still not a great healer. Plus, chocobos do not know how to dodge. They just stand there and get hit with things like Bad Breath. I hear that tanking chocobos aren't very good tanks. Or they can have a blend of skills from all 3 trees, which doesn't really help anyone.

    I like the concept of a chocobo-assisted dungeon. But I don't know if the execution of it would really be possible. Maybe once we can re-allocate chocobo points.

    When you are in free mode or attack mode, when you first hit the mob, your chocobo will follow your line of fight. It's then up to you to move 180º so AoE Cones like Morbol's Breath won't affect him at all.

    I don't know about your Chocobo Rank, mine's Healer 9, and he saved me often enough, myself being PLD Main when out doing solo fates and/or beast tribes.

    OP - You have my vote. It would be nice to see 2 man + 2 chocobo into dungeons, giving them a real purpose.

    Then again, I would also love it to get our minions to at least fetch the loot.. sigh..

    I think it would be more awesome if they designed a dungeon that required mounts... like a high speed escape or something to that nature

    A technical Full Party (4 players, 4 companions) instance would be most welcome. Especially if the instances yielded decent EXP and perhaps items usable for Chocobo breeding/raising. Perhaps even components for barding if/when they should ever add more.

    Consider me signed up for this idea too.

    This is a brilliant idea! It would be so much easier to level your chocobo, it takes ages now.

    I'm glad I'm not alone in this. ThirdChild also makes a valid point; the dungeon could drop items in relation to the chocobo raising system,etc.
    I actually forgot I was excited about being able to raise\dye my chocobo. One of the things I liked from FFXI lol.

    I would love to see a Chocobo Dungeon and a Chocobo Boss or two for "limit breaking" your chocobo. As it stands, they're capped at 10 now, but that number will be rising in the near future. I think it would be a lot more fun than a simple announcement of "Ok guys you can go higher now."

    The ai of pets never works well in a dungeon situation in any mmo. To make it doable it would have to be faceroll easy just like most fates (odin etc not included) this sounds like a lot of work by SE for very boring content.
