    Current chocobos and raising

    A thought just occured.. when Yoshi talks about how we'll be able to raise chocobos to fight alongside us in combat.. is he referring only to the one's we're going to be raising fresh, or will the chocobos we currently own be able to be customized to a specific role of some kind?

    It might be a quest, you see a chocobo egg in a cut scene and then as you do certain things like retrieve stuff to keep the egg warm, get gysahl greens to feed it while it grows up after it hatches or other types of greens. I'm really hoping they'll add different types of color choices for chocobos.

    I was kinda thinking that our chocobo would be scaled to our own lvl. That way the chocobo isn't super strong when you decide to go from a lvl 50 MRD to a lvl 1 CNJ the chocobo won't be one shotting the monsters.

    It will most likely be a dedicated class and not usable on all classes.

    Hm, that would be an interesting option too.

    I foresee it being like XI's companion system. I also feel that it will only be through breeding that you could attain a "combat" chocobo. With ARR, there will clearly be a new quest (I imagine) for attaining a chocobo that new players will have to complete to get their personal one, but as far as the combat birds that will heal/fight/buff alongside us, I feel it's pretty safe to say those will only be obtainable through the breeding/raising system that won't be released right away.

    As far as leveling, I feel you'll summon it (I HOPE HOPE HOPE it has no duration timer) and it earns a percent of the XP you earn, and you level it accordingly.

    I thought I read somewhere that the chocobo you raise will not only fight along side you but will also be your mount.

    Again, I feel it will be like XI. You could rent one, do a quest to call one, or raise your own and ride it.

    But, seeing as raising won't be immediately implemented, that won't be an option yet. You will probably (hopefully) be able to ride the same chocobo that fights alongside you, no arguments with that.

    My biggest question in regards to Chocobos is whether or not color is going to be tied to their classes/jobs...

    Tank = Red/White
    Nuker = Black
    Healer = Green
    Melee = Red/Blue

    This is how I feel when I read posts on these boards:
