Let's Have Chocobo Dig (Hot & Cold) & Chocobo Forest Raid

[Nix]

Lovelovelovelove this idea! I was so hooked on breeding/raising/digging back in XI, I'd really like to see it or something similar in XIV!
I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas others can add to this, have a great day everyone!♪

Kweh! I approve digging for mats and treasure, anything with chocobos really and reasons to explore the world is awesome. Loved stuff like this in XI and mini games like digging for clams and so on.

Yams is just the Distence of the Dig from the middle. War's Colluion is about 8yams range. 5yams is actually quite small for Golden Chocobo. Really depending on the Size of the "Chocobo Area" they might need to add a "Sense"... Chocobo Senses a spot West exa. If the Area is small like size of Garuda Battle Map or Halve the size it should be fine.

Why FFXI Chocobo's sucked...

Raising/Chocobo Digging in FFXI was too much of a hassle for players to even do and was very time costuming and its also why "Hot & Cold" in FFXI never did well since noone could do it, or even was worth doing. It also required a group. Also Chocobo Racing are poorly done to include players more in the race. Chocobo Digging in FFXI never really needed you to move around but just to be inside the zone and hit the "Feed" action for it to Dig for random loot. Also Chocobo Digging Level for FFXI was Hidden and never displayed anyones currect level, Only way to find this was to see what the NPC was selling feeding prices.

Hot & Cold more of a single player thing then a group.

FFXI Breeding is very slow. Egg... Week... Teenager... Week... Full Born... Week-2months then it would Die.

FFXIV should be 1 Week for Growing Process to Full Born and it shouldn't never die. It should be "Dismissed" option tho.

Egg- 1Day/Day2 Hatch to Baby. Do As many Chocobo Forest raids with you Chocobo Baby toget Increases EXP Bonus on it. Day5 Full Born (Will be Able to battle with it and do advanced Digs)


FFXIV Chocobo DoL will have its own Materials.. used for "Your Chocobo", "Planting Pot", Many types of items crafters can use that are tied into Crafting but cant be obtained from other DoL. Chocobo Digging inside Chocobo Forests & outside of the Instcense will give out. Chocobo Digging outside will be just go to the "Flashy" spots on the ground like Bot/Min, they will be spread out since you have a Chocobo toget to each one.

I was a professional Chocobo breeder and racer in FFXI and I really really look forward for doing it again in FFXIV however far off it may be.

I do hope they learn from mistakes in FFXI
-Chocobo breeding cards being an honesty system since they provided NO data about the Chocobo
-Not being able to ride your chocobo yourself in races
-Unbalanced and lack of races etc
-Give us the ability to host our own stables at our own houses

Most of all I hope we have many more colour options for our birds, and are able to name them with one or two names of our choice (not off a list of names)

Well thats where the Bonus Point Atoment comes in. Eventally you will make 1 Golden Chocobo with Max Stats and all Chocobo Barding towards the end and everything lv50. More Color options would be nice, rather have a Die Feather option of Pink/Purple/Black/White/Green/Red/Yellow/Light-Blue. It be like Grinding toget a Golden Chocobo and would require to level up more chocobos toget them to Breed.

Added a bit more to this.

Lets make this #1 topic ^^ Maybe Yoshi will take it under consideration.

Hot and cold sucks. This is the reason why gathering and crafting is being redone. It's full of mindless tautology that doesn't provide an engaging form of gameplay. I am against anything even remotely similar to hot and cold being implemented.

I don't support the execution (hot and cold), but I support the concept of having non critical side content (like gambling games, tetra master, player housing).

guess work does suck chocobo is a bird should beable to find stuff no problem. just like gathering now it shows you where to go on the map.
