I think Chocobos aren't native to Othard, so they don't have them there. IIRC, in quests, merchants and travelers not from Eorzea always comment on how smelly our horsebirds are.

C'mon SE Make it happen! And while we're at it. Make various normal Falcon skins colorations.

Just rode a falcon porter for the first time and the mount coloration + music is awesome and I wish we could get one through some means!

Ever since I first saw this porter I have been expecting it to be implemented a the end of SB MSQ or somewhere in it like the black chocobo was, but nope...still waiting, I agree with you OP.

I'd also like a travel falcon mount
(and I even have the phoenix but still, sometimes simple is better!)

And while we're at it, a "normal" horse mount would be nice (like the brown ones you see in the Steppe).

How different is the Falcon mount to the Griffin one? I've never used a porter but imagine that they're not too different.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the normal falcon was the new companion that could use and level up like the chocobo.

i think i may be added as a grand company mount
