Thread: Chocobo 2.0

I miss my XI npc.

Hopefully in the future we can customize our Path companion and call them out for some fighting.

Definitely looking forward to chocobos, though!

Screw Chocobo, we need Goobbue breeding, barding, racing and fighting.

I hope it's a special job because in a party of 6 people with 6 chocobos that sound just super messy.
A special class/job that would allow to fight with your chocobo and breed them to go quicker, dig stuff, access zone could be cool

In a party of 6 people only 2 can summon their chocobo (6+2=8).

I think they take a party slot so 6 players + 6 chocobos won't be possible.

4 + 4 on the other hand might be.

Even if there was a timer, I don't think I would mind as much as I did in XI.
Firstly, we have chocobo breeding (meaning we can have more than 1 chocobo), unlike our companion where we only have one.
This means that even if there was a cooldown timer, after a while we will be able to switch between chocobos and moreso switch chocobos depending on what we're doing.

Some examples:
If you are a gatherer: you can raise multiple storage chocobos, when one is full you switch to the next.
If you are solo fighting: you can raise a healer for when you do melee and when that runs out you might have a tank choco raised and you can switch to a support class or mage.

TLDR: We can raise multiple chocobos. The cooldown won't be as bad once you have 2+ chocobos.

This is all of course assuming that you can summon any of the chocos you have and not just one.

My fear is that it'll take a full month of adamant tapping enter before finding out a have a plain old yellow chocobo instead of the damned red one that I NEVER get. EVER

Pretty sure they said the Chocobos will count as a party member. Going off this I assume there will not be a cooldown since chocobos will be less ideal than having actual players in the group. Say 4 guys summon their chocos, thats a full 8 man party. But they would be more efficient if the other 4 spots were actually real players. Thus, it probably will not have a cooldown.
