quick question

in Final Fantasy XI

Seeing as there is a whole new rage to this game with the choccobo breading comming along and all i decided to get back into this game. the one catch being that i dont have chains of whatever. If i go and buy the latest expansion with the 3 new classes involved do i need to buy chains as well or is it included with the latest and greatest expansion.

Also if i need to buy chains can someone suggest a cheap place to buy it cause its not worth the 20 bucks from best buy. Also, if i dont have it can i use the latest expansion without it and will i miss any actual important content by not having it?

Thanks all

    I'm really not sure if you will need the Chains of Promathia or Treasures of Aht Urghan expansion packs to receive the chocobo breeding update.  SE is adding more than just that, so I'm guessing this will apply to all players, but then again there is currently a chocobo stable in Al Zahbi (part of the ToAU expansion) that's closed, so maybe that will be the location of the breeding grounds.  Yes, you're missing tons of content by not having the expansion packs, but it's up to you whether it's worth it or not.  The expansion packs are worth it, in my opinion.  CoP has tons of new storyline and areas in it, while ToAU has a lot of new gameplay and jobs as well as new areas.

    I'm not for sure, I think they will make you go from original, to chains, to the lastest whatever it's called.
    If it's like every expansion set for different games, it might be what i said, but you never know.......
    I'll check into it and be back later with a real/correct answer.

    EDIT

    You don't need Chains, you can skip chains if you want and just install treasures, you just wont be able to go into the chains areas which you are hardly missing out on anything.
    So, yeap, wb?

    You wont have access to Chains of Promathia without buying the expansion (Treasures of Aht Urhgan comes with a key/disc for ToAU, nothing else), but CoP isn't necessarily -crucial- to your advancement, but it adds alot to the game experience. Some of the itmes -are- nice, and the content is really worth it. You wont even start on CoP until level 30 though....so it's up to you to decide when (and if) to get it.
