I don't understand the purpose of this time gate. It's something straight out of some Facebook tier game designed to make you check Facebook every few hours.

The process of taking a Chocobo from rank 1-40 for retirement is enough to stretch out how long it takes to acquire that perfect ped9 bird. I'm at the point where I'm inbreeding to chase those 4 star stats, at the 6 hour time gate is completely unnecessary if the goal is to make that process take a very long time. Assuming the time gate on fledglings was removed completely, I'm still looking at 100+ hours of chocobo racing just to get the right breeding stock for that final fledgling; and then I'll spend more hours getting it to rank 50.

I could understand some drawn out process that adds time to collecting a fledgling; but a time gate, especially something as ridiculous as 6 hours, is ill-conceived.

Please, remove the insane time gate on collecting a fledgling after breeding.
