    This is pretty much the response I expected to see here.

    Requires an FC with an estate to do any of this, welp looks like I won't be doing any of this because the one I'm currently in won't settle for a medium and have been sitting on 30mil for almost 3 months because no one but myself and another person log in to do maps daily and contribute w/e we get to it and w/e we get from the once a month brayflox.

    Didn't they mention we would be able to cap all chocobo skills? Or was that something that is planned for the future and won't be there with the patch?

    Would be hilarious torture if the "Magicked Stable Broom" is made out of broom bush material. I'll go ahead and assume its a tool purchased from the npcs.

    If we ever could cap out a chocobo's skill, it would almost seem worse than just doing 2 trees. Too many actions and the only real benefit would be traits like STR or MND. It wouldn't be an effective tank due to mixing in attacker tree shits and vice versa.

    Anyway this seems pretty cool all around. Definitely concerned about the exp TNL lol

    I would assume that the Chocobo's stance would help control what actions it uses. e.g. Attacker stance should lock out Healer/Tank actions... or I'm completely wrong.

    It does yes. You can use Free Stance which basically uses all skills learned. I was referring specifically to how useless that might be in the long-run. Sorry I should have specified that in my argument.

    Well, challenge log will help a little bit with that, since the bonuses are %-based.

    I too thought we would be able to cap all the skills, so I guess now I'm going to have to just have to do point reassignment to get all the bardings.

    It's been stated multiple times that the functionality will likely be added to the chocobo NPCs in town so that you don't have to have a house to do it.

    That said, just buy a tiny house and then abandon it when you get a bigger one. Tiny houses are cheap.

    The rank cap leads me to believe that they're never going to allow point reassignment and that you'll simply have to use the increased rank cap to fill in the gaps.

    Just buy the cheapest small house you can find in the interim.

    Wouldn't you have more than enough if it stays at points= level. You should have 155. A skill line only takes 55.

    I thought Free Stance locked out everything but the first action of each branch?

    I don't have Choco Cure unlocked on mine, but we tested it on my friend's bird and it wouldn't use Choco Cure unless it was in Healer Stance.

    If I'm not mistaken, all housing on my server (Balmung) sold out several weeks ago.

    I actually haven't progressed enough in tank/healer trees to confirm it myself. I am 8 attacker/2 tank/2 healer or something. If that's the case though, Free Stance is a total lie and wash anyway. The chocobo AI really sucks ass as it stands. Pet AI isn't that much better either. SE needs to just give us a right-click toggle on/off action bar for pets like Starcraft has for heroes and call it a day on that shit.
