Color Your Birdie

[Vahlnir]

For me it will either be soot black or midnight blue (Or the chocobo specific dye equivalents if it goes that way.) I may go with black because I wanted a black chocobo in XI in the worst way. On the other hand blue is my favorite color, especially a dark blue.

Purple for me.

I just have a bad feeling that the requirements to color your chocobo will be steep for some.

If not hard to get materials then maybe you need your chocobo to be rank 10 atleast.

I'll probably dye mine either blue, or red.

Red like ferrari.

I'd say I was excited for this feature.. but I'm scared to say such a thing with the track record of this game and all.. Lets just not hold our breaths in case they decide to make some crazy hoop jumping just to do this simple feature as well.

On the note that it will be a readily accessible feature.. probably red, and if we get to use the dyes that are already in the game.. probably a dark red (name slips my mind).

I recall reading a bit about how you will color your bird.

Honestly I forget where, but maybe one of you that are better with the forum search can probably find it. It was a mod post to a particular thread.

But basically, you feed them something, and it makes their feathers regrow that color. I think that the original idea might have been to dye a chocobo, but not unlike little chicks that get dyed on Easter holiday, it might have been decided "unhumane".

I wonder how that will play out though. There are lots of colors! That idea one of you said about crafting it might be right. If I were to guess though, I'd say it will be a culinarian recipe. Like "Pink Chocobo's fried cabbage" or some such... Sound right? That would make sense as culinarian got left out of the recent new recipe books that were released. Odds are you will need to grow some vegtable in your garden and have someone fry it with some "food coloring" or something... who knows...

I'm imagining people leading their chocobos to baths filled with dye and then trying to force their chocobos into the bath. It could be like a mini-game.

[Wobble]

I have a feeling it's going to be a lot more work than just buying dye.

I'll think about it once I know whether I can actually do it and not have to jump through all sorts of hoops just to give my bobo a different colour. We all know SE's gonna make us do pointless things for something as simple as this.
