Why must chocobos be our companions

[Firon]

It took ppl an whole year+ to realize that we would be fighting with choco's wth......

Regarding the many people who have debated Red XIII (and/or his race) being a mount. Red XIII is a sentient creature capable of communication, and evidence (re: Red XIII's backstory) suggests that all of his race are similar. People should not argue to have Red XIII's race as a mount. They should argue to have them as a playable race. Just because they walk on four legs doesn't mean they suddenly are happy for people to hop on their backs and act like their slaves. If we were to ride them, I would imagine they would take us places of their choosing and dump us there, surrounded by L99 aggro mobs, tell us to fuck off and stop pretending they're a horse/chocobo and then run away, leaving us to die. That'll learn us!

Riding Red XIII's race is like asking for a Vieira mount. No, no, no, don't start asking for tha--- oh, God, what have I done...

Maybe Red XIII's race would make for a suitable companion race (non-mountable) alongside hume, roegadyn, etc. ...but really, I think it's best that such a race as his is left in VII's universe.

#3 Not my idea, but some posters have the question "so what about pet classes?"/ "will i be gimp w/o a chocobo companion"

Let me ask you a question. Have you, for all the time the game has been out, not had a chocobo all this time? You did?

There you go. You have a companion. Pretty much everybody has a chocobo.
Why must you be so defiant? "I think black mage chocobos are ugly and stupid, therefore I wont use one and I demand that you make the game so I don't have to!" it looks to me like you're resisting for the sake of resisting. Suppose SE adds some godly new armor but it looks ugly. Are you going to complain that you "have" to use this ugly armor to keep up with the Joneses?

#5 I'm glad to be a FF outcast, I wouldn't wanna be associated with the diehard fans.

Well this means that you should also be glad that they're getting what they want.

At least you're admitting of your own flaws. That's more than I can say for a lot of people...

[yukikaze_yanagi]

adn btw, relatet to point #2.. the most recent ff with a "chocobo companion" is ffxiii-2, where player can tame a chocobo. Every color have different roles in party.
Or even ff tactics can use chocobos as units

Never bothered checking this thread out before because I thought it was just troll bait; But wow some people are getting serious.



chocobo in battle been part of final fantasy for a long time. some games even have chocobo summon, chocobo forest, knights, cavalry like the destrier from san d'oria; ffxi during the crystal war period. This seriously beats having a lame chocobo that is only good as a mount only.


Besides, I thought path companion is exclusive to story missions only.

The chocobos aren't our companions, they are our buddies.
The companions come later again, outside the main story.

I think it would be more logical to have a pet class than to give everyone a companion. And seriously, some of us are tired of chocobo. Maybe we're not diehard final fantasy fans like rest of you guys, but it seems kinda lame...

Basically ima say what I said yesterday, there's not gonna be any point arguing some will be for & some will be against, I happen to be against & neither of our opinions will rly matter.

The way chocobos in ffxiii-2 fought was so silly and lame looking. The behemoth chocobo is going to look so silly with its goofy looking chocobo kicking lol.
