When I grab a bunch of mobs to aoe I just turn it on healer since honestly I'm not going to need its help, but I do agree the could make them a bit smarter.

Whenever I take my healing choco into battle ,if a large fate boss does cone AOEs my bird always get hit. I have to change him into a free stance in order to keep him from following me into the danger zones. He is not fast enough to follow me to avoid damage and he gets stunned and debuffed.

I think the healing stance needs a rework in order to avoid unnecessary damage.

IMHO, Chocobo AI = Enemy AI. Can't fix one without fixing the other, and that could totally change the game.

all of this. especially when it comes to doing treasure maps that take just a little more than a fresh 50 facerolling.

Chocos are so braindead. I swear in Healer Mode, they seem to waste a chance to cast cures in order to try and make an attack they aren't allowed to make thus wasting cooldown time. They look at your target, fart and then go back to healing.

They gimp my Spiritbonding anyways, so they are useless.

Makes good thanksgiving dinner though.

They look at your target, fart and then go back to healing.

Dude, laughing so hard, that made my day. thank you.

All I want is to be able to de-/activate each skill individually in the skill tree so our chocos will use / avoid only particular (sub-)set of the skill most suitable for the given situation as per out choice.

the best part, were supposed to be getting "companions" for dungeon running sometime in the future according to the last Q&A, imagine what thats going to be like if they dont even have the chocobo configured correctly lol
