Alt's why?

You cannot do this. You get one feed for the chocobo's owner and one feed from any other character. These two may have independent cooldowns, but there are only two.

Yeah I suspect this too, It's not fair if we can train out chocobo unlimited times. I just ever heard of my friend's plan.

Different character concepts. Checking out other servers. Reliving the MSQ.

I made an alt on one server to talk/spend time with someone, that is growing on me fast...gotta be careful though, last time that happened, I got hurt -.-

I wanted an Au Ra but I don't want to switch my main to one since I felt like I would regret it.

Dual/tri-boxing fates off peak, when there are a fraction of the mobs with a fraction of the HP.

Makes levelling alt-classes on your main a synch, and farming 2.xx glamours a cakewalk.

some crafters will use alts as mules for extra inventory space

I have an FC friend who does that, indeed.

I have far too many alts ^^; In the beginning, it was because I liked playing with the character creation, and being an avid pen-and-paper RPer (plus some forum-based RPing) I made a couple of characters based on my RP characters. Of course, in the beginning me and my flatmate pretty much played this as a Co-op game, and we gathered all our alts into an FC to make it easier on us (and avoid random FC invites from strangers who didn't even talk to us first D: ). Then we met people we clicked with, who enticed us to move a pair of our alts into their FC, and.... then those alts managed to become our mains xD

We still log into our alts now and then to level them up or do some MSQ, though I admit that for me that happens mostly when there's an event going on ^^; My flatmate has gotten one other of those alts HW-ready, while I haven't.

And since I bought all the Fantasia potions possible when they were still account-wide, I now have a total of 11 Fantasias delivered whenever I make a new character... So I have two 'extras' that I only use to try out Fantasia combos on xD Once they run out of potions, I'll probably delete them and make a new one.


Anyway, that's my situation, but I've heard others who level and gear their alts up to endgame level, and then use those for raiding once their mains have reached the weekly cap on stuff. Which isn't a bad idea at all, considering the raid-loot lockout with "1-3 people done it before? one less chest. 4-7 people done it before? no chests" system.

Playing with a different aesthetic and replaying story quests vs FATE grinding is my reasoning. That said, usually if I find I like a class I'll dig into it on Gale. Gale, by far, gets most of my attention.
