There's also one 1.x dagger that didn't get converted into a sword the way all other gladiator/paladin daggers were when they introduced rogue/ninja, so 1.x players lucky enough to have one of those are the only ones who can run around with a dagger-wielding paladin. (Unless SE 'fixed' that one -- I hope not, though.)
Though... I wouldn't really consider an event promoting another game to be comparable to consistant in-game activities (like the hamlet defence, etc) ^^; But that's just my personal opinion.
As for the chocobo/goobbue, the question you responded to asked "that don't have a 2.x version" -- 2.x does have versions of the chocobo and goobbue. It's not the same, but it's similar enough IMO.
