Chocobo barding for DoH and DoL classes and unique attributes?

I've been sitting on this thought for a while and was wondering, how come we don't have chocobo barding for our DoH and DoL classes. Personally, I think it would be nice if crafters and gatherers got some love with the chocobo gear. I mean imagine riding around on your chocobo and you both having matching gear.

Also, how about some unique attributes for our bardings for all classes? Something like "Chocobo movement speed +2" or "Heavy Resistance + 1" maybe even something along the lines of Shiva barding increasing the choco's movement speed in snowy or blizzard like weather? Fellow adventurers, what do you think? Should DoH and DoL classes get the same love as DoW and DoM classes get for chocobo barding and should some barding have special attributes?

They didn't want unique stats on them because then people would feel compelled to choose bardings by stats instead of personal aesthetics.

I'm all for more, though.

Yeah, I kinda figured that. At the same time though, chocobo racing would be the perfect way to introduce something like that though. And honestly, the barding itself doesn't have to come with preset stats. Instead, they could allow us to meld our chocobo's barding with chocobo specific materia and the said materia could be something won from chocobo racing. Well that's a possible loop around that any way.

Definitely no to stats on barding. I want my Chocobo to look the way I want and not have to wear some ugly barding for that +3 cure potency.

But totally yes for more options! DoL and DoH bardings could be really cool!

I wasn't actually referring to stats for combat since I'm pretty sure SE is probably trying to stay away from that. Check my comment above yours. What if instead of pre-determined stats on barding, we were allowed to meld it with special "Chocobo Materia" that could be won from chocobo racing? Choco materia for increasing your choco's speed, resisting heavy, increasing exp gain, or something a long the lines of that.

Sorry, still no to stats on barding. I like to change mine around from time to time depending on how I feel.
