Additions and Adjustments to Chocobo Raising (25/09/2006)

[spooky]

Soon players can expect more from care plans and experience a variety of new chocobo colors and appearances. Chocobo raisers have a lot to look forward to in the next version update!

Changes to Care Plans and Direct Care

Chocobo attributes will soon increase at a greater rate when using care plans. In addition, several additions and adjustments will be made to direct care, and a measure to wake the chocobo up while sleeping will also be introduced.

New Chocobo Colors

In addition to the existing yellow, black, and blue, two new chocobo colors will be added. Players will be able to enjoy a maximum of chocobo variety in the next version update!

Changes to Chocobo Appearance

Soon, chocobo appearance will slightly change according to attributes. This will not alter the chocobo's appearance completely, but rather will reflect certain strengths that the animal has acquired during the chocobo raising process. For example, a highly intelligent chocobo's head may appear different than that of a normal chocobo, and a speedy chocobo may be distinguished by its sturdy legs.

*Please note that a chocobo that you are already raising will not suddenly change color or appearance with this version update.

In other words, cull the yellow chocobos!

Hopefully this update will come right before forced retirement, so your newly breeded egg will be effected

[NynJa]

I just fuckin turned in a new egg -.-

[Not Kuno]

It sucks the current choco's wont change but at least they'll get more stats in the next version so it wont be so slow.

[miokomioko]

I just hope the new color other than red isn't just a palette swap to green, but is more of a yellow/green with the rainbowy feather tips like the little illustration of the Jennet they posted so long ago.

[Lithiani]

I hope red ones go faster.

[Lexius]

I hope red ones go faster.

green = speed as said in the pol announcement about a month ago.

Jennet
This breed of chocobo has been magically reduced in size to provide mounts for the diminutive Tarutaru. They have short legs when compared to other breeds, but like the Tarutaru themselves, jennets are capable of maintaining a rapid pace. Due to a request from the southern Mithra wishing to blend into the jungle, there are some jennets that can be found in a shade of green.

Obviously that reference was too obscure

Oh, and this:

is made of win.

[DeadLegend]

I wouldn't mind an angry black elvaan cavalry choco, but the jungle Jennet is muh birthright :x Hopefully the process of obtaining a colored chocobo from the get-go won't seem so random after this update.

I just fuckin turned in a new egg -.-

Abort! Abort!

Red wunz go fasta.

[Scorp]

Red wunz go fasta.

I really wish i didn't get this reference

[FFXIFlux]

All I want is a callable chocobo thats at least as fast as the ones from stables without having to spend 20 minutes a day for a month running to the fucking stables and playing tamogachi. Chocobo breeding = fail.

or Win if your a "casual" player, acording to SE. >.>
Seriously when are they going to realise the only players that matter are the "addicts" ; ; Fuck casual play.

Quit being such a negative nancy

[SephYuyX]

I agree though, I gave up after a week of running back and forth. If I can get a chobi that lasts and rans as fast as a normal chobi by just doing basic plans, id be happy.

[Sykes]

This kind of pisses me off. Why couldn't they release all of the colors at one time? Now, no matter how much work I put in to my chocobo (assuming that I even bother), it will never be as good as it could be if it was born after this update.

[HAcoreRD]

So here's what to do.

Retire or abort your chocobo, get an egg.

on day of update as soon as server goes on trade egg then head to HNM camp.

Eat another 10-20k for Vomp Carrots, and probably raise another yellow bird.
