Crafters have no right to get their own Chocobos

Guys, the Empire is attacking!
That's the whole reason for the resurrection of the Grand Companies in the first place.

If you consider yourself a full time Miner, and a Garlean Soldier comes to slaughter your family, are you saying you WOULDNT swing your pickaxe at his face? Its a VERY small stretch to lvl up MRD.

But dont get me wrong...Pickaxes and Hatchets should definitely be able to hurt things.

oh no the empire attacks the company and they have a caravan of supplies sitting in the camp, but there is no gear nor weapons in it because the company had no crafters to make the gear nor gatherers to get the materials for them. whatever are we to do?

edit: oh i just thought let's get this weaver in the city to make it and hop on his chocobo to get it to them..... oh wait they have to run....he'll never make it in time!

I thought i was well understood that it was Yoshi's intention to remove crafters and gathers from first-class citizenship and degrade them to second-class citizenship.

I am not sure why its shocking at this point.

When there comes the equipment that to equip ur bird, my hand is cold.

Everyone complaining should really quit crying an find a productive solution to their problem, such as working on a battle class at least to 25. It's not hard at all, i promise.

If some crazy cool crafter/gatherer content came out that i wanted access to i'd just level a class in preparation and be done with it. It's not like you're locked into any class on a character.

While I agree with your sentiment of trying everything, it's not really fair. DoW/M aren't forced to learn a craft in order to gain access to all of the games content. If SE is going to do something like this, they need to add a serious perk for crafters and gatherers to balance things out.

For a long time repairing your own gear was incentive enough to level a crafting class, at least for myself and many people I knew.

You mean like chocobo breeding?

Ah whoops, I gave the game away.

(~,^)b Shhh. don't spoil the fun

[Chezen]

This won't affect me personally, but I have to agree with the crafter/gatherers. I guess I read wrong, but I had thought there would be crafting/gathering orientated quests in the Grand Companies.

It may be there will be other ways to get a chocobo in the future, but I do think this is dissapointing.

This is tantamount to releasing a keyboard without a caps lock key and justifying it by saying you can just hold down shift. Yes, you can do this, and yes, it's easy, but there's no good argument not to include such a basic function when making your keyboard.

A workaround is just that. There is no compelling argument to support denying a non-combat class the benefits of owning a chocobo at this point. Chocobos are a basic feature that everyone should have access to. We all have places go to and people to see.

All I'm saying is that the future has been confirmed, time to stop crying and do something about it. You have a problem, find a productive solution. In this case that would be leveling a battle class to 25 minimum. It's not like it takes that much time, it's a minor inconvenience at worst.

Crafters and Gatherers as main classes was part of Tanaka's incomplete vision. It's what brought us Parley and a campaign with little to no actual battles. I mean what Final Fantasy game has a main story devoid of fighting? Yoshida has been steering us away from that and making crafters and gatherers more about utility and function than being able to do everything.

Does it suck for those who only craft and gather? Yeah but I think people should be focusing all that negative energy on an actual practical solution.
