I love my Chocobo, but it just gets in the way of anything I want to do. Can't use duty finder, can't mount, the time limits in every part of this game are just pointless or prohibitive. Limited sp on something we've never seen before so we can't possibly know what's going to work until we waste all our time grinding to learn that certain stances might be garbage. I'm not wasting money to try to fate grind when mounting to get to a fate before it finishes to get one atom of progression on it's rank bar costs 50% of the reward for getting gold on the fate. I was excited about getting my Chocobo. I even hoped their was a black mage stance because of the picture on the website that clearly showed a chocobo wearing black mage AF gear. I want to cast choco meteors dangit, not bust out excel sheets to try and math out the time/ worth of playing with something this convoluted.
