Hey guys,
It's an unlikely place to post this subject but I decided I might since this site is so popular, anyways here is the information i've been able to find today.
Jennet (Green)
Relatively short chocobos called Jennet, to achieve parents have to have Endurance. A minor boost to Endurance is Basic Care, Talking a walk, Exercising in a group, a moderate increase in endurance is carrying packs, there is no major boost for endurance.
Rounsey (Yellow)
Rounseys are the average chocobo that you rent. Rounseys are likely what you'll have when you get your first chocobo. You can mate them to get the other species (different stats give different species of chocobos) there is no special way to get a Rounsey.
Palfrey (Blue)
To achieve a Palfrey the parents need to have high Discernment, a minor boost to discernment is Basic Care, Listening to Music, Playing with children, a moderate boost is Exhibiting to the public and a major boost to Discernment is Digging for Treasure.
Courser (Red or Yellow)
These rare and relatively tall chocobos are rarely seen and even more rarely seen red, they are no longer pure bred but occasionally have red from previous generations come out in their feathers. To achieve a Courser the parents both need to have high physical stats, Endurance and Strength, a minor boost to both is Basic care, taking a walk, exercising alone is a minor boost to just Strength, Exercising in a group is a minor boost to endurance, a moderate boost to both is carrying packages, a major boost to strength is Delivering Messages, there is no major boost for Endurance. Coursers are clearly the most difficult breed to achieve.
Destrier (Black or Yellow)
Destriers are no longer pure bread and occasionally have their black feathers show, much like red Coursers. To Achieve a Destrier you need the parents to have high strength. A minor boost to strength is Basic care, taking a walk, exercising alone, a moderate boost to it's strength is carrying packages and a major boost is Delivering messages
NOTE: You can achieve Blue and Black chocobos as Rounseys, although they will not have the natural stats of their original breed.
NOTE: Red and Green chocobos will not be released immediately, they will be unlocked in the coming version update (Mid-Late October)
NOTE: Some of the Care procedures I have given you decrease other stats please be aware of that! Make sure your affection with the chocobo is always kept high, if you do not thee procedures will have no effect.
NOTE: As for Diet experiment, chocobos are different on what breed likes what.
I don't intend to start any false rumors, but where did this guy get this? Did he make it all up, or is there any factual basis?
He also says that gysahl greens mildly increase physical stats while azouph mildly increase mental...if it's true, it's news to me.
More importantly, he says that Rounseys can come in blue, black, and yellow. If that's true, might ALL our chocobos be Rounseys, and the only way to get other species is by breeding parents with certain stats?
We don't have any reason to believe any of this, just thought I'd post it.
