I'll have to agree with you, I never liked Aerith at all! :P
Chocobo permadeath WOULD be interesting, but in all honesty, what's the point when within an hour (just making an assumption) you could go get another one?

I support your idea 100%
If you don't raise it in time, it turns into a crystal. You can take the crystal for an insta-heal... but it just won't seem right using your beloved pet and friend for sustenance.
"Aeris you''re so cool! I just got your final limit break! Oh you're leaving party for a bit? That's cool! Oh hi again Aeris. WAIT WHAT YOU DIED FOR REAL!? WTF I PUT ALL THAT WORK INTO YOU OH MAH GAWD"
No... I want my little chocobo to be with me forever! If I spend time raising the chocobo and taking care of it, why would I like to see him death perm?
Sometimes, I don't get why people want to turn a fantasy game into reality...
