That's not really related to FC airships it's part of the Ixal story, you help them build an airship.

I wouldn't mind this idea. I'm in a FC but we're pretty small and even if we had enough to get a housing plot there's none left anyway. xP A few of us were debating among the officers if we wanted to give in and just seek out a FC with housing or that was closer to housing and had more active members then the 4 or 5 we have just so we could even get to see half of the updates that had come out over the last few patches. xP

Thats one thing that makes us want to grow our own, not knowing how the brooms work exactly. So we're balking @ 20k a piece for one time use item not knowing how it works. If only my retainers would bring a seed back sometime. Working on getting crafters and gatherers up to snuff has been eating our gil up lately, plus yea being casual player's there are alot of other things we try to get done when we are online.

Since there are players who don't want to be part of an FC or maybe even buy personal housing, they need an option to train etc their chocobos.

Why not actually make the chocobo stables that are around Eorzea actually functional?
Unaffiliated players could stable their chocobos at these stables and get to enjoy the content they otherwise can't participate in?

For a stabling fee they can train and feed their chocobos. Fee waived of course if they agree to shovel out the stables everyday.

SE will make it accessible for players w/o stables, they already confirmed it, but for now only those with a house will have access to it.

Don't wanna be rude, but you have to accept that you'll be missing content w/o a FC house, the next one is FC airships.

Oh and i like your idea.

I'm not part of an FC but am okay with some things only accessible to FCs. The right type of FC content will add some flavor and incentivize players to socialize. It will give unFC'd players like myself some motivation to find his/her niche within the community.

While FCs are social, most FCs are built around working together for things like instances, hunting, etc... basically content that doesn't mesh well with chocobos. I would like to think there will be other avenues for unFC'd players to train their chocobos (maybe not as efficiently as FC stables, but something nonetheless).

Question is, is it wise to help them fly? lol

[melflomil]

That's fine but owning an Fc has its perks.I wouldn't be surprised if SE makes public stables cost some gil like 5000 if you want to use the facility.

Maybe shout for an FC that'll take you in long enough and trust you enough to use the gardening, get your chocobo dyed, then leave?

Or why not join an FC, enjoy the benefits, and take fc chat off all your logs?

A lot of FC's don't mind people like that; you'd still be giving them FC points from things you do.
