Chocobo Appearance Customisation

[Buddhsie]

The new content for chocobos all sounds great! I'm really looking forward to battling alongside my feathered avian companion, especially using a gambit-like system to control it. There is, however, one problem I have with the chocobos in game. From what I've seen, they all look the same!

I know we are most likely going to have different coloured chocobos, which will allow a little bit of differentiation. But what would really make our chocobos special and more personal is being able to customise their appearance, much like our own character. Being able to add length of feathers, facial features like eye and beak shape, darker or lighter tinges, even overall size and build would be amazing. With this feature added, all of our chocobos really would feel like they were our own!

I can't be the only one who has thought of this, I'm sure many people have. Seeing all those chocobos running together in that new limit break video from PAX Prime has made me realise that we need this. If, after all, chocobos are a staple of Final Fantasy and the primary mount for FFXIV: ARR, as well as a companion, then surely we should be able to personalise them much like our own character!

Let me know what you guys think.

I'd love different looking Chocobos

I want to turn my chocobo into a unicorn that craps rainbows. I also want him to fight for me by attacking the enemy with a supersoaker filled with carnosine, and then he will use his eye laser beams to set them on fire and burn them. Then I will feed their toasted remains to my unicorn, and he will get stat bonuses depending on what I killed. He will also have super magic robot repellent armor and a red mohawk and a diamond encrusted eye patch. His name will be Mr. Sprinkles Fireblades the second, but when people ask him his name he will calmly reply "Just call me Snake, Snake Plissken..."

As long as I can customize my chocobo INTO a pony (Pinkie Pie) I'm down for this.

Well I've read that they would have options to add different types of Chocobo armour or something like that depending on if you chose to have it as your tank/caster/healer.

As for customization, I believe they won't implement the eye, beak, feather length, size. The size is scaled to which race you're playing as.

The only thing I'd really like to see and has the opportunity to possibly be in-game is chocobo colours. And that option might be with what types of gysahls you feed it.

People who don't get Legacy Membership still get a chocobo, they just don't receive the exclusive chocobo mount Legacy Members will obtain.
