Chocobo Raising Now Available! (08/21/2006)

[Gamutstreet]

With most people focusing on strength and endurance, and with the affection going down to increase those stats, i think we're about to unleash a wave of Emo chocobos upon the world.

Me: Hi Chocobo!
Choco: Kweh.... /wrists

The whole emo thing is so 2004.

OR Whitegate Taru > Home Nation > Cape Teriggan > Call Choco > Valley of Sorrows in 2min.

Didn't they say at some point we can't call chocos in areas that we wouldn't normally be able to have them anyway?

Although it'd be cool to run around Xarcabard on a choco as a level 20.

[hawkie]

So one call every 5 min.

That makes me concerned that the duration of the ride might be less than 5 minutes.

Only if you have some fat ass Galka riding the shit out of an exhibitionist treasure loving Jennet.

It would be a nice dream to be able to call a choco anywhere.

I think it's the City / Dungeon rules for choco's. Only reason you can't choco in Xarca is that the only way to get there is through a Dungeon or to tele in. I would be dissappointed if you can't use them in outdoor areas.

Chocoboing through riverne areas would've been nice..

That's a dungeon. If you can escape from it, it's a dungeon.

can't go through displacements on a choco anyways

[Rewind_levi]

Choco in sea would be nice stupid UFOs

It was stated in the June 19 Topics that a chocobo’s appearance would change along with its attributes. Due to an extension of the testing period, these changes will now be implemented in a following version update

I was rather pleased by the news up until the above.

Only typical really.

Suppose we all have to wait an extra month or so to find out how to get the spiffy colours. Wonder who'll raise a choco now and who'll wait for a guide to get the one they want.

EDIT: Choco pimping a new /sh craze for gil making?

not quite sure what they mean by that. Does it mean the colors are not going to be added in this patch?

The way I interpret it is that SE intend to add the new choco models in the next update, which will likely be around the time the first couple stocks of Chocos reach "Retirement" (KFC Anyone?) but my reading comprehension skills have dropped dramatically since the majority of the player base "tolk liek theis", so I'm hoping I just misread.

On a side note: Any news on Choco Racing?

[superfob]

Ahh keep forgetting you can escape there. Oh well. As for displacements, there are 25 charges

[Demosthenes]

I imagine affection only goes down if you are not the one caring for you choco.

[Manako]

Seeing as the modelviewer already has pictures of Black Chocobos, and because the update also has a picture of one I think it is safe to assume black chocos are going to be ingame after this update. They have already mentioned that not all colors will be available, so that might be the only new color.

I think what they mean is that their apperance will change dependant on their attributes like Strength and endurance etc.. So if your chocobo is raised to be a digger he will have a more prominent beak or something.

I submited an assload to http://userbars.com/ took some of the ones that were already up there. The site also has tutorials on how to make your own custom userbars, which is how I got on a userbar spree to begin with. I originally was going to have about 5-6 and have them fade through each other (animate) like a friend of mine had. By the time I was done however, I had 82 userbars, and I liked them all. So I wrote a php script that displayed a random image (.gif, .jpg and .png only... not .jpeg though i'll explain at the end) whenever it was accessed. Sadly forums will not let you use .php as an image. I then edited my .htacces to have it read all *.jpeg files as *.php, then I renamed my *.php, *.jpeg the end.

unless my Chocobo poops out a Ridilli a day i smell yet another ginormous waste of time...

[Tahngarthor]

Why would chocobos have to poop out ridills to be useful?

Hell, if they pooped out poop that'd be just as worth it.

And they will poop out stuff if you breed them to dig... (and supposedly stuff u cant get with ordinary chocobos- maybe pebbles +1 lol)
