not at first, orginally it was just luck of the draw if you got one of the colored ones. (you were more likely to get a colored one from a drop, than the purchased, but I still got a red for a purchased egg) Actual attributes to the chocobo didn't come until Breeding and Racing were introduced.

When XI first introduced personal chocobos they didn't have breeding that came in a later patch.

edit: Oh yeah and the actual attributes for you chocobo were affected by how much time you spent(wasted) in actually going and talking to your chocobo while it was still a chick. if you spent no time with it, it was AS fast as a rental, not slower.

Companies chocobo's are already raised to be used in war and set aside for company members, which is why they are faster than rentals.

Chocobos from eggs were just born and aren't as strong as a rental chocobo, which has had much more exercise.

Thats my reasoning for it anyways.

Not saying we should be ok with such low standards but I wonder if there really is anyone listening at all?

FF standard is:
Enter the chocobo forest -> catch a chocobo -> ride the chocobo
No quest needed

Agreed with Darte and AdvancedWind.

And if there's a chocobo we raise ourselves, that can be the quest / minigame.

In-game time, years have passed (which makes events seem crazier since they're celebrated for an entire in-game year.

Actually personal chocobos started out slower than rentals. If you maxed out their speed you would go as fast as rentals.

Find Forest > Speak to Moogle about chocobo > catch chocobo > get chocobo

is a world apart from

Buy chocobo

Not that any of that is relevent because Most FFs didnt even give you a personal chocobo you had to catch a new one every time.

Nine and Eleven being the only exceptions.

Well if they do that I'd be a little more okay with it.
