More Chocobo Info (6/19/06)

Well, CoP did add the 3 wyrm at release iirc, and all of them are more challenging than cerberus. Their drop, despite being lame, is also better than Cerberus' >_>

Wyrms definately weren't added as soon as CoP was, I'm pretty sure of that.

they came out after release by a few months, it's on the timeline, there's a post somewhere here in the archives where maxx has the power to see through time and space, and saw them before they were even put in the game.

I hope flux's chocobo summons other choco's, zelda style, and then they rape him.

That's a DRK Job Trait @Lv.60. A little before the one @76 where they stop sucking.

wow this is hot.

to the people who called SE worthless and lame in the other chocobo topic, if I EVER catch you riding a chocobo you raised by yourself, I will call you a fucking hypocrite.

Cant wait for my pure white chocobo :D

This would have been nice 3 years ago. Now it's just SE trying to play catchup to WoW. It's actually pretty sad that they're making a big fanfare about adding a feature practically every other game already has. Meanwhile ToA will still lack any end game content.

Wow, someone always has to piss in the cornflakes don't they? Considering the response from end-game people on this topic, it looks like they want something to do *other* than end-game content. This looks like a fun diversion for everyone when they get too frustrated staring at walls or whatever goes on, and a bit of fun for people who get their end-game activities without being up at all hours of the night camping god knows what for a tiny chance to claim *and* drop.

FUN. Do you remember it? Apparently not, considering your posting history. Go to WoW if you love it so much and stop comparing, because there really is no comparison.

/offtopic question
Were king kings added when normal kings were? (KB, aspi, and nidhogg)
Like, did SE have to patch to add the HQs in?

[layoneil]

the HQs were added later.

I can see hydra, cerberus' HQ, being added this patch ^.^

Wyrms definately weren't added as soon as CoP was, I'm pretty sure of that.

I stand corrected then. I was certain they were added at the start. Hopefully, they will complete their wyrm elemental set soon. Still need a thunder/wind/light/water wyrm.


Off topic kinda.
Anyone remember the name the chocobo in black mage town in FF9? It's bugging me for a few hours.

Where the fuck is my fuchsia colored bird.


BOO.

I could be wrong but I remember it was called "Black Mage Village"

[inafume]

Haven't people already determined that Hydra is related to the Empress? Regardless, it doesn't follow with being Cerberus' HQ if SE followed the 3 kings pattern. The HQs have the same models as NQ, just bigger. Hydra is not the same model as Cerberus.

That's possible, there is some sort of 3-headed dragon thing in the DAT files.

I was asking whats the chocobo name, not the village But I think I remember now, the Black mage there call his baby chocobo "Bobby Cowen"

[Vobent]

Hm, musta missed the whole hydra related to empress thread, but okie dokie!

[Julian]

Cool and all but.. I wanna see the new merits ; ;

[shihei]

OMG YOU CAN RIDE YOUR OWN CHOCO AND EVEN DIG WITH THEM AND CALL THEM WOWOWOWOWOW

[BRP]

Wyrms definately weren't added as soon as CoP was, I'm pretty sure of that.

They were added less than 15 days after the expansion came out. In a maint that said "Monsters of KRT, Attowha Chasm, and Ule Range will be moved around" or something, and so birthed the world's greatest supply of fire crystals.

There is a difference between WoW's mounts and FFXI's chocobos. 1) You know it will have a decent side-storyline attached, 2) THEY ARE CHOCOBO'S, 3) You can race them, and 4) You raise and breed them.

To me, calling them out anytime you want it extra. This is some nice content.

btw

Destrier - Don't exist anymore, but will make your chocobo black.

Courser - Very rarely red.

Palfrey - Blue seems to be common.

Jennet - Sometimes come in green.

Ignoring races, the rareness of colors seems to be(least to greatest): Yellow, blue, green, black, and red.

I dont know why people get so butthurt by FFXIFlux comments. The people that caused SE to decide to implement rideable chocobo wasnt all the fan boys that are happy no matter what, its the players that complain about whats in the game and ask for more. I just ignore him in general and save my tears for other things.

[Not Kuno]

Chocobos are gonna own in U.Range. It's almost as good as my 'ski lift' idea, that you can ride a ski lift to the top if you beat CoP.
