Thread: Chocobo and duty finder

i did not see this in the patch notes stating if we are now allowed to queue in the Df while using our chocobo companions?

Please look forward to it

20 years would be my bet lol

I get that the system they used for implementing chocobo companions in the first place is its own thing that follows some really weird rules and implementation

But I really wish they would fix this.

I agree. Doubly so as they say the open world is going to be more dangerous. I would like a companion as I travel.

you may have a companion but no duty for you(said like soup nazi) lol

YoshiP seems to continually misunderstand what people mean when they ask for this.

The first time it was asked directly in a live letter, he thought people wanted to ENTER dungeons with their chocobo companions (even though that's not what was asked). Later he seemed to kind of get it but gave some wishy washy excuse about your chocobo companion being a party member and that system not allowing that kind of interaction or something.

It's really quite simple: Change the system so that it doesn't account for your chocobo at all when putting together a DF party. Then: dismiss the chocobo when the duty is accepted and re-summon it when the duty is over.

I honestly fail to understand why this is hard.

He understood it, but it's not easy to implement. Currently there are only two battle capable companion systems: the pet and the chocobo. The pet system is used for summons and has a pet slot; the chocobo system uses a member slot in the party. That's how summons and chocobos can be summoned at the same time. Since the Bo is a member of your party, any changes to its state will affect your queue... and you can't drag a Bo into a duty so yeah. The chocobo system would have to be reworked heavily to allow what we want (yes I want to queue while my Bo is out too).

add another pet slot- so choco can be a pet
