Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

[Holland]

How many times we need to say, whatever rank we have in battle class is not the point. We, crafters & gatherers, are fighting for our own right. We need game contents for crafters and gatherers. Battle classes have GC and we want to be part of it. We want to make things for fighters, we want to contribute.

This clearly is not an option for the Dev Team, at least for now. And Yoshida has gone on official record to state Crafters and Gatherers are secondary roles. Content for Crafter/Gatherers is being developed with what you are now, a secondary/support role. What this means is the main attraction point for players will be their battle class. Everyone wins.

Its proven beyond doubt content developed around Battle/crafter/gatherer at the same time does not work. So they are developing it separate, for now (This can change for all I care) getting a chocobo requires you to have a battle class.

Edit: that you can not get your chocobo as a crafter/gatherer does not make your Role less important or relevant, which is to craft and gather...

Edit#2: I am a player that plans to level LTW and MIN to max, I don't see a problem with the requirements, I don't see myself being less important because I can do very cool things with those classes (Materia attachment and Catalyst gathering for example).
