[quote][i]Quote from: Kyprinia[/i] Demonkiller, the answer is that nobody knows yet. Your best bet is going to be to grab an egg and start raising it, and discover along with the rest of us how it's going to go. As a clue though, the boy in the Jeuno stables talks about inheritance with different pedigrees. In particular, his mention of getting different results with different partners, and of having a trait show in the grandchild but not the child, is consistent with mendelian inheritance. This suggests that when Square said they were going to be "realistic", they really meant it. So presumably what you would need to do would be to find chocobos that carry the blue gene, and breed them together and hope the child inherits a blue gene from each parent. As to how the genes are distributed in wild birds, and whether the various color genes are placed on the same or different loci, well, we really don't know. But there's no way to figure it out except by trying at the moment. My mule's chocobo recieved the "feeling perky" message today, on her 9th day. I have been occasionally giving her a little more affection (sometimes watching over 2 or 3 times instead of 1) than my main's bird. The description by the stable master seems to indicate that this is the critical level of affection, or some such thing. While my birds affection levels are always high, the cutscene and the change to the watch over action indicate that it must be important somehow. If only I knew some stories to try to teach. At least I now know that it doesn't happen after a set amount of days, as on my first it happened on day 12 instead of 9. The only other difference is that my first chocobo (12 day) has had one extra day of basic care, and the rest have been walks. The second (9 day) has had music every day after hatching. I suspect it's more about affection than it is about precise care schedules, though spending a lot of time resting might change that. None of my chocobos have rested so far. My other mule met the friend he met before for the second time today. I didn't get a story, but it did happen on the same day (Windsday) that he originally met Air. I only wish I had been keeping better track when my main's chocobo made her friend. ^^; It seems plausible that one would meet the same friend on the day they originally met. Has anyone else had this occur? My main hasn't met her friend a second time despite going on a walk on Windsday as well, making me wonder whether the various cities friends are tied to days at all. There is a much stronger case for them being tied to city: Chocobo 1: San d'Oria -- Air -- ??? Chocobo 2: San d'Oria -- Air -- Windsday Chocobo 3: Windurst -- Spring -- Darksday[/quote]
