Chocobos, airships, and the main city

[Vesper]

I hope that when chocobos and other forms of transportation is released, that the teleport system is removed. I am not fond of the feature.

Well you can of course just not use the feature when chocobos are added, if you don't like it. I doubt its going anywhere.

I wouldn't go that far. One of my great annoyances in FF11 was having to track down a White Mage to teleport me somwhere, then mount a chocobo, then run to the city I was going to. Especially Bastok with its "around your rear to reach your elbow" zone design. I stopped hating the transportation system when they added teleports via cities, and that is maybe what needs to be done--restrict "free-for-all" teleporting to aetherytes, but allow you to teleport to your favored destinations anywhere. This way you have a reason to use chocobos without making the game monstrously inconvenient to get around.

Chocobos , yes please! I want to breed my own tho, that was fun Chocobos are one of the things that make Final Fantasy what it is, need them asap. And love the idea of personal armor for your own chocobo.

Keep anima but make it an increased cost, implement Chocobo's, breeding, racing. Leave airships for now until Ishguard opens, then I will be a happy lallafell!

[Seirra_Lanzce]

Give me my chocobo naw, and i will be happy with anything you do to the game.

[Lebannen]

I seriously want chocobos. As off today we can only see them in the stables. There should be chocobos in the wild, maybe a chocobo forest or something where you can capture them.

[Vagabond_Sam]

Chocobo's please ^^

While i'm not sticking to the idea of rideable chocobo's and airships here, I had the idea of another means of transport that would remove the tedium of running to places. I would suggest a 'Carriage' system using the model shown in the Ul'Dah introductory video and have it running between Ul'Dah's main gate and a point just south of Gridania using a similar timetable as the ferry from Thanalan to Limsa. All that would need to be done is to put the carriage in an instanced environment and people can treat it as they do the ferry, craft away the time or go afk.

A second idea would be a second ferry service running from Limsa to a point in the eastern Black Shroud, the world map seems to suggest this could also be viable.

I can't express the amount of times I have seen people in general chat, pick up parties or my LS curse and spit all sorts of venom from the lack of chocobos in the game. When the are added I hope you give us the ability to name them and dress them (via armor, LS chevron on the saddle or even just some painted symbols like American Indians did with their horses) for sake of customizing.

There was a class called "Sheperd' discovered in old beta files. I would not be surprised if this class turns out to be a Chocobo Shepard, aka a new DoL job heavily involved with the chocobos themselves. AKA you want to ride, you equip the Job item and can now ride one. But we shall see.
