Chocobos, airships, and the main city

[JakeRoon]

I call it "instaportation" and it breaks the immersion of every game that it's in . I'd like to see teleportation further restricted .

WT@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are freaking insane! In a world where magic spells are zipped out by the hundreds daily, some how being able to teleport from any where is an issue? BUT it's only an issue if it can be done from anywhere.....regardless of the fact there there is lore in place that gives good reason why it can be used from any where in that setting and world?

Wow. Just. Wow.

The "instaportation" is a huge time saver for many players. And...it makes a cool sound too.....

I would be happy with just chocobos at this point -.-;

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Chocobos are implemented, I defintely think the Final Fantasy feel would defintely return =D. And the idea of once again breeding then, putting different mounts/armor on them, just WOW

The airships sometimes fly low, low enough sometimes I can make out some details. Just wish we can board it eventually. Has anyone noticed the strange platform located near the West coast of Limsa. Seems like an airship dock of sorts, very cool.

Those things are all over. I've seen two in La Noscea (one north of Camp Bloodshore in the east and one east of Camp Bald Knoll in the west) and one in Thanalan by Burning Wall. The first thing I thought of too when I saw them were Airship Platforms, yet they are out in the middle of nowhere.

I've been everywhere in Eorzea, theres atleast 2 in each region probably more.

Airships - Need to be customizable, if not, build-able. If build-able, they need to have multiple complex synthesis recipies that require large amounts of materials, not something 1 person can do with a little time. Plus it should require materials that would need, i dunno, special guild equipment to build, and maybe even need more than 1 person to craft. Could use some more elaboration, but thats basically my idea on that.

- Chocobos
We are all very excited about chocobos. We hear that you are thinking about implementing them in a unique way for FFXIV. We are hoping we still get to ride them and still get to breed them. Chocobo breeding was a lot of fun and we are hoping that you do not forget the amazing detail FFXI had in their different characteristics like, color, crown feathers, tail feathers, curved talons, straight talons, beak size, head size, speed, strength, endurance.
Here are some other characteristics that would be fun to consider:
1. Curly feathers (Feather Texture). Here is a link to better explain: Link: Curly Feathers
2. Skin / scale texture
3. Skin / scale color
4. Eye Color
5. Duration of ride.
6. Chocobo Digging Success
We are really hoping to see many features come into play with the chocobos. On another note, if we do get the equivalent of the mog house, can we please have a little stable inside our house so that we may view our chocobo while inside the house? Here is a picture I drew of the concept, not your amazing artsy concept art drawings but it gets the idea across:

^^This, basically not just something you get a license for, we want the whole shibang. What FFXI had and more.

Yes, I've noticed that. They seem to be stationed outside of all of the three cities. I do believe there is more than one in each region as well.

Seems like Jedgar beat me to it, but my thoughts mesh with his and yours.

+1 to Chocobos

-10 to teleporting everywhere right off the bat

I totally agree x.x; I would rather ride a long distance than be able to teleport.

In ffxi, the quests to even get chocobos and airships weren't even unlocked until jeuno was opened up. I think they are waiting for that in ffxiv. If ishgard really is ffxiv's jeuno, im certain that once its open, they will have quests for you to get an airship pass and chocobos.

And not to mention yoshi p wants to do something different with chocobos. maybe chocobo knights?? maybe personal airships too? fly around in an open map like ff7
