How should they implement Chocobos?

Id imagine chocobos only meant for one thing, battle. (obviously because of the new image on Lodestone, Grand Companies)
Not transportation, possibly the chocobo carriagdes like outside Gridania & port east of Camp Horizon.

You should be able to rent a chocobo that will take you from the cities to certain distant camps. For example, in Gridania, you can ride to Camp Emerald Moss and Camp Tranquil.

For our own personal chocobos, I hope we receive a full chocobo capturing/raising system.

Like mounts in every other game. Summonable everywhere at no cost. Speed capped by rank. First at rank 10. Nearly max speed at rank 40. Max speed at rank 50.

Raising mini-game gimmick could be added later. Way later. After, you know, we have real content.

What is every other game to you? WoW?

Chocobo rental, raising, racing, treasure hunting, extra storage (carry packs) and customisation should all be included. Not to sure about battle do you mean while sitting on your Chocobo or calling it in battle to fight along side, either option I'm not to keen on to be honest.

Include rentals if you must, but I'd really love to feel a personal connection with my chocobo. Chocobo breeding and racing pleeeease! Let me call him whenever!

A mini-game-esque quest that gives you new commands while riding a chocobo wouldn't be awful. Guild Wars did this alot, put you in a vehicle or changed your form and gave you a new action bar for the miniquest.

Like this.

Mounted Battles , were your mount strength is added to your own.
Enough said.

Never played Wow, sorry. I can't really remember a game where this worked in any other fashion though. Oh, yeah, Fallen Earth maybe: you could not put your mount in your inventory and had to get back to it by walking. This is certainly not what we want here.

But really, we need mounts. Usable and personal mounts, to fix the transportation problem. This is more urgent than adding a new mini-game, even if it's mount related.

Instead of Implementing Jumping. They should let Chocobos be used for any non-standard exploration.

If they add hidden areas they should be explorable by Chocobos.
