The purdiest cowboy to ever ramble

Not normally. Usually I play games after they've been out for a couple years. After they stop being the SHINY NEW thing and cost SHINY NEW prices. My main exception is a mmo that I'm actively playing. I'll certainly preorder Heavensward. Debating if it'll be the CE or not tho.

I'd like to sign Ojune up, if there are still spots free.

Clio's comics never fail to make me smile.

I get cold easily so I don't do many things sans clothing. But I -do- clean my bathroom nekkid. Since I usually clean it before a shower.

Happy Birthday!!! <3 totally late...

A pretty alright dude from the pilgrimage and certainly someone to keep an eye out for to RP with.

Clio's title may be Nighshade but I've only ever seen her be sweet as pie.

I aint even gunna try using that excuse Mae. Mine is just chaos:

This is clearly the most relevant topic we should be discussing about this panel:

Sammich here is taking after SMILE-sensei like a pro.

Arimar here knows the value of a fantastic beard. :thumbsup:

Ilwe is a joy to talk to and very fun to RP with. Seriously. Try complimenting Ilwe in an RP sometime and see some -adorable- miqo reactions.

Duskwright always has a new and interesting signature. That she makes herself. Naturally.

Arrelaine has a very soft and pretty icon.

Hostess of Bacchus shots! Nothin' but love for this lovely enabler.

Unf! That's painful. ^^; I can see that breeding could potentially be a biiiiig MGP sink.

I bought a G1. Before I thought to start taking SS so I can't show it to you unfortunately. But between the two grandparents there were three different one star stats.And a ability I didn't care for all that much. (the small frenzy resistance) I don't know if it was just bad luck/a dud. But when I bought a second breeder pass I decided to jump a head a couple grades to see if the stats would be a bit better. And that's the one on the SS above. EDIT: That said... this is my next G3 that I bought in anticipation for my second breeding: Not much better at all from the G1 I bought. So... Certainly needs more data.

Process: Get your chocobo to Rank-40 and retire. Choose the breeder you wish to use and take both forms to the breeder in Bentbranch. Pick up your fledgeling's registration at Bentbranch after 6 hours. (You will also receive the registration of your original chocobo back for future breeding attempts if you so desire. As you can see in the SS below, your starter chicken has a total of 10 breeding attempts in it.) Register your fledgeling to view it's final stats. Your naming question: Yes you will have to rename. But there is nothing stopping you from choosing the same name over and over again. My own experience: I'll use screenshots since It'll be easier to explain. The one on the right is my original r-40 starter chocobo. The left is a one time breeder. The stats on the one time breeders are random, near as I can tell and they in theory get consistently better stars the higher the Grade rank. Why did I choose a g3 and not higher? You'll probably see why below but the short answer is because the probability of starting with the starter chocobo's stats is still too high. And if I ended up with a complete dud then I'm not throwing out a lot of MGP for another breeding attempt at this low of a generation stage. Now there are two phases where inheriting takes place. At the stage you take into account the Grandparent stat of both birds. These will condense down, as you'll see below. For your starter chicken there will be NO variation since everything is 2 starred. It's why I wouldn't want to buy and raise a male starter registration from the vendor at Bentbranch to breed with Admiral Flamboyant. There would be little room for growth. Save from the bit of growth you get just for gaining Grade levels. Where the male on the right only has room for growth EXCEPT in the stamina stat. Where I could potentially take a loss. Now this was my Fledgeling's registration when I picked him up at Bentbranch: As you can see: I inherited the father's ability(yay!) and colouration. What I got from the father's pedigree: Grandmother's maximum speed Grandmother's acceleration Grandfather's endurance Grandmother's stamina (EEP! D: ) And cunning is the same for both grandparents so we don't know which was actually chosen. When I turn in my registration the final outcome is decided. So what did I actually gain? Apparently the stat maximums are tied not only to how many stars there are but also to the Grade. Even though I inherited most things from the mother and are listed as 2 stars, the stat maxes are now up 140 from 100. My stamina is freaking huge. And as you can see you start with higher minimum values in stamina because it is max starred. My weather preference changed. I don't know if that's random or inherited but Admiral Flamboyant liked fair weather conditions. I now have a second ability slot. The one inherited and the one I'll gain upon hitting rank 10. All in all I think it was a worthwhile breeding attempt. It was a good experiment and while I only inherited ONE stat to be better, it's overall a better chicken because it -is- a higher Grade. I am no longer desert yellow And I got a kick ass ability that makes people yell profanity at me when I swipe their sprint shoes or stamina tokens before they can activate them. :thumbsup:

So cute <3

I'll snag the 11th or the 16th if someone beats me to it. So excited!

Zabine gets written with a french-esqe accent. As I imagine that's what the Elezen old tongue is like, giving their naming conventions. I've also rped Jaques using french words at times. To signify the old tongue that in his tribe really only got used when training beasts or in old prayers/rituals. But he isn't fluent in it really.
