tell us your FFXI chocobo stories :)

I'm halfway to levle 3 Chocobo Digging... Not really much you can tell about Chocobos is there? I mean I spent maybe 4-5 hours on a Chocobo yesterday and nothing really exciting happened /shrug

EDIT: I decided to come back and make a little more commentary. I'm actually really interested in chocobo breeding coming up. I also wonder what impact it will have on Chocobo Digging and if it will add an extra dimension to that.

Ultima Chocobo.

The only fun thing to do with chocobos is cast invisible on your party members while they're riding one. And that gets old after one time.

Heh. It never gets old with me. :p

Well, if you're going for the, uh, affectionate crawlers, I'll have to pull out this card:

I got the drop after that one too. :D

I was riding one once unaware that it was about to throw me off in the middle of the Ballista Downs. :(

I went as WHM/BLM to Chocobo Dig in Yhoator once. I wanted the convenience of teleports and warp. As usual when I'm choco digging I zone out a lot. I was paying a bit of attention to time and then my 42 WHM gets kicked off in front of an Anemone. Needless to say I always set a timer when I'm on a bird now and I tend to just go BRD/WHM and deal with that fact that I don't have warp.

The FINAL FANTASY XI development team has finally addressed everyone’s cries for a system to raise their own personal chocobos. As announced at the FINAL FANTASY XI Fan Festival 2006 in Santa Monica, this new feature will be introduced in the next version update!

Raising Your Chocobo
http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/topics/imgs/choco01.jpg
[Basic Concept]
Think of chocobo raising as an upgraded version of gardening. You can raise a chocobo by taking care of it for a minimal amount of time each day over a span of roughly 1-3 months, so even players with little time can enjoy this feature. Your chocobo may come in handy when it is fully grown!

[Chocobo Eggs]
Your first step is to get hold of a chocobo egg. Each egg is encoded with its own specific genetic information, and some players may come across an extremely rare variety…

[Caring For Your Chocobo]
You must work together with the chocobo stable employees in order to properly care for your chocobo. Feeding your chocobo and spending a bit of time with it each day will gradually build trust. You will be amazed at how your chocobo grows!

Chocobo Variety
Chocobos differ based on their color and type…and possibly more. Naming will be handled in the same way that dragoons and puppetmasters select their wyvern or automaton’s name, but there will be more options than ever before!

Matchmaking
Match up your chocobo with your friend’s chocobo and see what happens. If the match is right, you could end up with a new baby chocobo!

Scores of other exciting features are scheduled to be added in the next version update, so keep checking the main site for more information in the next few days!
