Chocobo Companion Question

[Victor]

Does anyone have any tips on how to level your chocobo effectively? It seems to be a painfully slow process no matter how I approach it. Furthermore, is there any way to have it gain EXP once you are level 50? The reason I ask is because I'm just about 50 on every DoW and DoM class (1.0 player).

Level Synched FATEs might work. If levees still allow level synch for parties also. For some reason GC levees don't allow chocobo because its considered a party.

What I have found out is that as long that you can get xp from a mob your Chocobo will gain xp if so since you are level 50 on most jobs you have to fight mobs 43~50+ to level the chobi. Even since your capped at 50 you will still gain xp so its cool.

55 point for just one role? you know how much time does it take to level it up....

Yes, you put in time for MMORPGs.

Its not like that, you only have to level him up 10 times and you will have all 55 points. Every level gives you that many points, at level 9 you will get 9 ADDITIONAL points. At 10 you get 10 ADDITIONAL points.

I disagree, and to be honest I wish there was some way to do the same for characters. i.e., forcing the choice at some stage that a player focusing on one or few classes can level them higher, even if the extra few levels are highly superficial statistically.

I dislike the idea that by the time I 'finish' with a character they'll be "lv 50 everything"
I would prefer a system where for example every character in the game had the option of say 30 more levels, that offered tiny amounts of stats increase.

so one could be level 80 in one class, level 60 in three classes, or level 55 is 6 classes. If for no other reason then to actually distinguish the player;s own role playing choices "oh this guys like the magic roles and wants to be identified as a magician". rather then "Oh look an end game robot" L50 L50 L50 I wonder what his chosen class is and if the gear he's currently wearing is a reflection on that, or wither he's just logged off having reached L50 in a class he'll never be using again.

Lol.
In case it's not obvious, I've always prefered those games where characters have strong unique differences, In FFies that would be those like VI, IX and XIII as opposed to VII, XIII and XII where characters were the statistical equivalent of sacks of meat on which to hang your Materia/GFs/Licences, with end game teams being identically abled demi-gods with nought but a limit-break and superficial differences between them.

I'm hoping that there will be other companions added on that you can then summon the one you need to have specialized. Still a retraining item from the GCs would be nice. In case a later companion is perhaps faster/stronger compared to the current one so you can respec this one to something else.

Thanks for the update. Even if it costs 10,000 seals like respec'ing your character does, having an option to do it is better than no option. Especially for those who made the mistake of spreading their points around.

Me personally, I started off as DPS, but now my main is going to be tank, so since I made my Chocobo a tank, I have no real use for him... changing this would be great. That is, of course, unless we can bread multiple chocobos or get other companions in another way so I can have at least one tank and one dps

With regards to choco companions, will we be granted a pet control bar to make it so that we can sic em onto mobs to assist in the aggro build?
