oh really ? Because chocobos in ffxi was SO much difficult to obtain, right ? trading a gyhsal green every hour is SO hard and amusing.
Actually we know personal chocoboes require 2 things:
-ranking in a company (= quest or seals purchase)
-3000 seals. Seems meaningless to rank 50 who did dzemael, but isn't so oblius to new characters. Also, if ranking in companies mean using previus seals, we actually need to farm it)
To me the effort seems the same, if not superior.
