Can't say too much, so I'll keep this pretty vague... but if you join up with a Grand Company and work hard to complete some of their quests... beneficial things will take place.

...Vague doesn't begin to describe what was just said. For all we know you could also mean we get our Grand Company issued hookers >_>

In which case they are quite personal, indeed.

Here are some additional comments that Yoshida made over the weekend regarding the upcoming chocobo-related content.

Hi, this is Yoshida, the producer/director.

First of all, chocobos will not be implemented through a single update only, but will be implemented through a gradual process of content iteration (excluding Chocobo rentals)

Here is a simplified plan:
1. Calling a personal chocobo
2. Riding a personal chocobo
3. Walking next to a personal chocobo
4. Raising and dressing up a personal chocobo
5. Fighting with the help of a personal chocobo

I created this plan myself, but some features are not possible to implement at this moment. It would take way too long to implement everything at once, so we plan on implementing this bit by bit, starting with numbers 1 and 2. This is the plan for patch 1.19. More details will be revealed later in an upcoming letter.

Regarding pet classes, from summoning pets to taming, we are still in the preliminary planning stages, so we don't know which direction we're going to start with yet. Either way would be fine. We still need to do all the battle-related adjustments, class balance adjustments, and implement the job system first before anything else, so we will be looking at any ideas you have for us.

If cultivation is implemented, I would like to have gardens implemented as well. It would be nice to have a garden in front of your house, so let’s test this out.

Right now I think we'll just own a chocobo but later they will implement raising. Unless of course raising is simply implemented with 1.19

How personal?

Personal enough that it might expect some cuddle time.

Hmmm i'm not sure if you could have kept it more vague, but your just teasing us now Bayohne

As long as I can give my chocobo a Pope hat, I'm good.
