Handheld Chocobo Breeding

O: Make it into a 3DS Game, streetpass access. What will streetpass do? Meh who knows, maybe a chance for random gear for the chocobo. Make the game stand alone as to encourage people outside of FFXIV to buy it, and make us FFXIV people who buy it seem like just an added utility bonus.

This could actually work pretty well, could have it similar to raising dream eaters in KH 3D, just chocobo themed. :P

As long as an iPhone or other such expensive device isn't required, I support this. I'm also not into phones. I don't want to be that guy who goes out with friends, but is giving his phone more attention that anyone else he's with, you know the type. So annoying and disrespectful!

As a counter measure to manipulation, each device would need to operate on an algorithm similar to the key-fob that came with the CE. It's a common security counter measure and could be implemented easily.

Great idea OP although did you ever own PocketStation from Final Fantasy VIII!? Same thing!!!

Molly: It can be multi platform, iPhone is one of the biggest products so to not develop a cool app for FFXIV will be backwards, things are not limited to just eggs/chocobos but because the interface really only needs to work via a jpg and exp bar, have the app always open on Lodestone with security key screen still needed to be entered. Eggs/Chocobos/Repairs/rested bonus gain etc

I would go for this as well. A totally separate chocobo raising game which can double to raise our XIV chocobos, would rock beyond measure.

Back in the day Final Fantasy VIII had something like this, I don't remember all the details because it was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure I remember them releasing a tamagotchi type thing to go along with FFVIII that could plug into the ps memory card slot and you could do something or another with it.

Edit: I looked it up because I couldn't remember all the details: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Chocobo_World

Why would it make XIV a sci-fi MMO? I don't understand. The NPCs don't have to pretend you're raising it 'offworld', they could say something else. They don't need to SAY the code, just have it give it to you in bluetext.
Also, it kinda IS a sci-fi MMO (magitek?).

Edit: Heck, they could pretend they're giving it to your retainer to raise.

Or better yet... *ill edit the main post for this*

its a fantasy mmo so nothing has to make sense always a mix of things from time periods and things that dont really exist.
i think what your saying is to raise the chocobo kinda like a mag from PSO?

You think I'm saying something I'm not even close to saying.

I loved playing this, before I knew what cheat devices were, the battery was never really good enough though and would only last a month maybe ^^; The interaction between game and pocketstation was cool for its era, so many of these same elements can be included in a 14 app with low resource to play the game outside of any hardware-required tasks eg battles, storyline, quests etc. the production costs won't be as high as creating, say, a PS3 Vita port which is hardware, software maybe, business partnerships and financial liability - who would buy a Vita just for a secondary app where the actual title isn't available on? App can be done in-house as another quick side project across multiple web accessing platforms. *May also attract new business!

XD.


I think an app would be cool but it would be unfortunate for those who dont have a smart phone - would be nice if they web app/text workable as well.

Fixed

Amen! I would have no such reservatiopns towards raising my chocobo in the many meetings I have at work or on the commute so I fully support this idea.
