"Grand Company issue PERSONAL chocobo" How personal?

[Leowilde]

Well I'm not picky, but I'd love for there to be different coloured chocobos. Like yellow, white, black, brown, grey.

[DoctorMog]

Whatever they do, they're going to have to make them relevant to exploration as opposed to just methods of transport if they really want EVERYONE onboard with chocobos. Perhaps make certain areas only accessible through the use of paths only chocobos can access, like bogs or other bodies of water with too much flotsam for bigger ships to pass through, stuff like that.

This deserves to be quoted again.

Personally I think Chocobos should be the only thing able to Jump, and they use it for exploration.

[Shikaree]

I'm curious with the city-state dress on the chocobos.

Maybe we'll get some customization options for their dress appearance too down the road? Head armor/no head armor? Body armor or no and if yes what style?

Oh I'm liking the thought if we could customize them.

And again! I really like this idea.

well he called it "my little chocobo", i know it was a joke but the joke could imply that we get little chocobos and raise them and hopefully get a raising "game", also chocobo armour sets <>please<> <>can i have this?<>
so to resume i hope i can choose color and gear my chocobo (i want a black chocobo with white metal armor!)

[KalaKenshu]

If you guys expect all that by 1.19.. think about how much time it will take. I think we'll probably just get regular rentable chocobos, and then a company chocobo with the exact same functionality but cheaper and with a tabard on it. Seriously, I'm not expecting much more, at this point they just need BARE BONES chocobos for the sake of FFXIV being a final fantasy game. Then LATER they can start developing this cool stuff, and exploration etc... probably after the PS3 release honestly, with how much other stuff still needs to be done.

To quote J-P
In the meantime, though, feel free to let your imaginations run wild.
so dont come here trolling around Kala and try to use your imagination a bit

[Alpha_Zeon]

Kala isn't trolling, I too don't expect all of that by 1.19,but I do want it by/before PS3.

There's already been mention from the devs about eventually gearing up AND battling with your Chocobo in other topics about pets =)
