How should they implement Chocobos?

[Zhyrios]

Also a good Chocobo racing side mini-game would be cool, like think FF7 style :P not ffxi.

Id imagine chocobos only meant for one thing, battle. (obviously because of the new image on Lodestone, Grand Companies)
Not transportation, possibly the chocobo carriagdes like outside Gridania & port east of Camp Horizon.

You should be able to rent a chocobo that will take you from the cities to certain distant camps. For example, in Gridania, you can ride to Camp Emerald Moss and Camp Tranquil.

For our own personal chocobos, I hope we receive a full chocobo capturing/raising system.

LOL. Because concept is everything.

Like mounts in every other game. Summonable everywhere at no cost. Speed capped by rank. First at rank 10. Nearly max speed at rank 40. Max speed at rank 50.

Raising mini-game gimmick could be added later. Way later. After, you know, we have real content.

What is every other game to you? WoW?

Never played Wow, sorry. I can't really remember a game where this worked in any other fashion though. Oh, yeah, Fallen Earth maybe: you could not put your mount in your inventory and had to get back to it by walking. This is certainly not what we want here.

But really, we need mounts. Usable and personal mounts, to fix the transportation problem. This is more urgent than adding a new mini-game, even if it's mount related.

I think most games let you own, summon, and customise mounts, and also some let you battle on them. Age of Conan, for instance.

hehehe mammoth mount.... enough said. sooo wished for the 360 version just for that >.> and necromancer

@ magiksmurf (lol... smurfs....) anyway... chocobo riding is pretty much an ff thing. Kinda like a rite of passage. Seeing squall and cloud on chocobo was epically funny. More so squall since he had an early 90s biker look.

Plus on everyine ff they use the same tune just different styles. Like one had a carribean/surfer theme. ff11 had a whimsical flute style. hmm ima need to find that vid and post it.
I like ff14 choosen style kinda rock but still whimsical.

Well wasnt exactly basing it just on the new concept art, but the fact that both
tanaka i think & Yoshi-P said long ago chcocobos were meant for something else.

By the Twelve no. So tired of cleverly disguised speed buffs being passed off as mounts. Give us an actual mount system with substance please.
