Chocobo Companion Question

[Meui]

Yoshida:
Q22: Please tell us more about chocobo raising!
A22: We’ll first be releasing housing, but you’ll be able to set up a chocobo stable and purchase a baby chocobo to raise. Once you have a chocobo stable you will also be able to do things like breed chocobos and train them.

Thanks much! Knowing this should really help ease a lot of minds, including my own. I think having your own Chocobo stable and raising/breeding them is an awesome feature!

I've been looking everywhere I can find and I'm not sure I am correct about the Black Chocobo Chick. It looks like it may just be a minion as you said.

Yoshida stated that first the Player Housing would open > then the Stables would open > then you can raise your own chocobo.

Not sure the timing. Sounds like the Chicks will be rewarded to players before the Housing goes live. I was, in fact, assuming that the Chick would be related to chocobo raising!

The Dev post concerning the additional companions does seem valid though. I was really hoping for a black chocobo companion! Maybe that's is still possible even if the chick is a minion.

Ability to reset? Sure, I like the idea of making it something you have to purchase with GC seals though, and it should be somewhat prohibitively expensive (10k-20k seals).

On a side note, it'd be nice if the crazy chocobo song would queue when you have your trusty steed in battle.

What are your experiences with the 3 different roles for now?
I'm still undecided what I should teach my (first) Chocobo companion

The tank role is really good after leveling it up so it got some STR and HP but the huge downside is that it takes him a couple seconds to start using his enmity move. Once he starts using it though, he spams it and can hold hate really well.

That's good to know, because so far I've been disappointed with the tank. I'm only rank 3 right now, and it can't seem to hold hate for more than a few seconds.

Hello, everyone!

You’ll be happy to know that we are in fact planning for a way to re-allocate your companion skill points. Once we have the details, including when we plan on implementing this, we will be sure to let you all know!

Also, for those of you who are curious, the maximum amount of skill points you can earn is 55 points. In order to learn the final ability for each role, you’ll need to put in all of these points. Hopefully this information will help you plan out your companion’s abilities a bit better until we introduce the method for re-allocation.

What about the bug where people who clicked on legacy chocobo barding permanently lost it?

this should really be adjusted to 57 points, so that you can at least 'unlock' the two other roles at the most basic level. It's fine if I have to specialize, but if i can't change the stat points easily, we shouldn't be completely locked out of the other stances if we focus one.

Good to know thanks for the heads up. So if we put a point in anything else we can't get the final skill? Skill reallocation will probably be out before I can get that far, but this is a good thing to know anyway thanks very much.
