Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

[Valarian]

I get the impression that people arguing against DoH/L personal mounts are arguing points other than the one that's being made, for the most part. Such as:

DoH/L should not be able to join a grand company.
DoH/L shouldn't complain about the patch because they get something out of it, too.
DoH/L shouldn't complain because what they want will be implemented eventually. (Show me where you found this!)

Few, if any, actually take up the argument that DoH/L *shouldn't* have access to personal mounts at all.

The thread is about DoH/L access to Grand Company issue chocobos. The OP inquired about DoH/L being able to get company seals and obtain a personal chocobo. People are against that, and for good reason too.

Those same people, from what I can tell, are not against DoH/L getting a personal chocobo through other means. Hell, I actually like the Fat Chocobo idea.

I believe is not the fact they should not be able to get personal chocbos by direct means. For me, is the feeling that is ok for SE to ask me to level up a DoW/DoM class for a Personal chocobo (I've mentioned before if the plans change to include all classes it would not affect me in the least as it does not now).

I lol at these threads... When I say "lol", I actually say LOL!

Thats why I added the details about both of the (now confirmed) repeatable seal sources, because you said you didn't know. And to make another point, they already confirmed that this new seal earning content is catered to lvl 25 people only for now. Upper-level players will have to wait for more potent sources of seals.

Yep, players will be able to obtain company seals in Grand Company leves that will be implemented in 1.19.

If leve timer system is exactly the same as 1.19 leves at adventurer's guild, you can do 8 every 24 hours.

The caravan will come under attack en route to its destination. Players must fend off the hostile creatures and see the caravan safely to the hamlet within the allotted time limit. Those who complete the task will earn company seals based on the amount of cargo delivered intact.

Caravan security will function the same way as Behest and allow up to four players to participate at once. Caravan security sessions will take place every 15 minutes.

If escort timer system is exactly the same as behest, you can do 3 to 4 an hour.

Ohh snap, you've hit the nail on the head there!


Let's review--

Major new content implemented in v1.19: Materia and Chocobos

DoH exclusive players do not have immediate access to premier Chocobo content, they must work 1 DoW/M class to R25. (Or bribe another battlecraft to power-level them to r25)

DoM/M exclusive players do not have immediate access to premier Materia content, they must work 1 DoH class to R18. (Or bribe another crafter to do it for them)

DoL exclusive players gain exclusive access to Materia catalysts, supplying crafters for a tidy profit.

Is it me, or did SE create an all-round timesink-o-fairness here?

Well played, SE. Well played.

omg this! ^

Don't forget DoL get the Stealth abilitities.

And getting a DoW/DoM class to 25 is not hard at all and it really doesn't take too long.
Of course there was going to be a requirement to get a chocobo and it's a very simple and easy one imo. Until then you can use a rental chocobo.

I'd like to use the Stealth ability but I gotta earn it by leveling a DoL and I'm okay with that. I'm not gonna whine and be like "But DoW/DoM desearve that ability too!"

They already stated DoH/DoL are taking a backseat to the DoM/DoM. It's bad enough you can play a tile matching game to advance through the main story line lol

I'm not trying to say "You don't desearve one!" I'm just saying if you want something you gotta earn it by meeting a requirement and in this case, it's a pretty simple one imo. And again, there are rentals everyone can use in the meantime for a mere 800 Gil...

Oh, and let's not forget airships~ Or anima~

Riiiiiight right right.

Here you go:

Yoshi-P mentioning pet chocobos

And here's bayohne mentioning future chocobo breeding

So I have to wait to become a musketeer, you have to wait to raise your own personal chocobo. Job done

I'd be a fan of giving DOL/DOH a way to join companies via supply or construction leves (I think someone mentioned cannons?). It would be similar to the Campaign Ops in FFXI:WotG

I also agree with the notion that if the future direction of the game is to make DOW/DOM the dominate focus, then it might be a good idea to remove the DOH/DOL options from the char creation when the PS3 version is released.

I can agree with this, the first character I rolled when joining the game was a Blacksmith, then when I realised I wasn't going to get anywhere as just a blacksmith, 'cos I couldn't afford the things I needed for it, I rerolled my character as a conjurer. Starting the game as a crafting class does kind of put you in a difficult situation to begin with.
