Translated, Square-Enix has revealed today that it is planning to finally give in to the fans demands and incorporate a Chocobo breeding system into it's ever expanding and popular online game, Final Fantasy XI. Breeding is an arduous process, taking upto two to three months to breed a single Chocobo, with some care and attention needed every single day. Each Chocobo will possess a Unique set of DNA, and depending on the rearing method, you will see huge levels of variation throughout the game world in each Chocobo's personal characteristics, and players will then be able to breed their Chocobo's with other players for even more varied results. Players will have to work with stable employees to help nurture their chocobo's, and they'll require feeding and attention.
The Square-Enix representitive offered this message to players:
"The Chocobo raising feature is finally taking shape! I can see a Chocobo on my screen right now, growing rapidly from day to day. It seems we can finally fulfill the promises we made to everyone about this new feature! Soon we should also be able to provide screenshots and give even more detailed information about Chocobo raising. We are hard at work creating a system in which players can enjoy competing their Chocobos against each other--for example, to see which is the fastest… We hope you enjoy this new feature and all the interesting possibilities it brings. We wish you all the best of luck in Vana'diel!"
Images should be expected in a couple of weeks time.
