Chocobo companion timer.

I don't see where the stress is. Is your companion not summoned when you need it? Press the Gysahl Greens button. Done.

It was only annoying when you had to let the timer run out before you could apply another one.

I mean I didn't say you had stress, I said I, and another, did. Just like someone might say savage is easy and another says it's not. So.. "okay, great . . . you don't" doesn't mean anything to me though and adds nothing to my feelings on it lol. And it's not like end of the world or savage stress. It's just seeing a timer countdown. . It's minor anxiety. Not the kind that isn't get over-able, but it's just.. meh, it doesn't add anything of value and you could have similar systems that add more value (keep gil sink if that's important). Like running around without a full clip, even in games where it's not that trigger important. No I want the full thing.. Often I just top the chocobo off even when it's like 35 or 40 because bleh.

If it's to dissuade you from using it too much, I guess so in the beginning when you're poor but I literally always have 999 greens. I've always my chocobo out because it's meaningless not to, why not have free heals out. If they want to dissuade players make it cost more or add a cooldown lol.

The timer at this point in the game feels meaningless and yet also annoying - a terrible combination, and if it was for lore / vibes it could be done better, and if it was for companion management that too could have been done better.

One thought where it might still have a function is it might be for server stress, while trying to allow players the opportunity to have it out as much as they want - that I suppose it can do (cooldown can do server stress too but it wouldn't allow some players to have it out all the time, as nature of it being a cooldown).

If I'm taking glamour screenshots and going in and out of gpose, it's easier to have the chocobo unsummoned so I don't have to turn it invisible every time.

Plus it's sort of annoying if I'm questing but not trying to fight things, especially if in town talking to NPCs and going in and out of buildings or tight spaces. It can be annoying having it follow me around and getting in the way of characters, at least visually. (Plus I really hate it on occasions when your chocobo snags against someone else's and they both just keep walking against each other trying to move into position.)
