Island Sanctuaries and Retired Racing Chocobos

Was trying to find if anyone had made a post regarding this but couldn't find anything. I don't know how many people do Chocobo Racing so this may only affect a small percentage of players. I started properly doing races and retiring Chocobos a while ago and was thinking it would be nice if the retired Chocobos were more than just an item in your bag to be used for breeding.

When Island Sanctuaries were first announced I thought it could be a good idea to be able to "release" retired Chocobos onto your island so they could just wander around or whatever. Now they have mentioned that minions can be released in a similar way. Plus the trailers for 6.2 have shown Chocobos running around the island so this has made me think it could be a fun addition for some. Anyone else think this could be a good idea or if it would even be possible to implement?

I prefer the idea that they're sent off to KFC

That would be such a cool idea

It's a neat idea, and may bring more people to try chocobo racing. I know I've not touched it in a while, and have barely done any of the races actually, and the prospect of seeing them running around the island would be interesting at the least.

Thankfully I kept mine packed away in my chocobo saddlebags, can't be too heavy for him. And maybe I'm lucky that my perfect stat chocobo has dressage for its hereditary skill. Get to do it all over again

It's not quite the dignified ending I had in mind for my poor Princess Diana, or her offspring Ginger Prince

I... rather like this idea. They don't necessarily have to do anything major but just make it sort of an aesthetic feature. It certainly keeps to the relaxing farm theme they want to encourage.

Fun Fact:
Before they went under due to the lock-downs, there was a Sci-Fi / Gaming themed bar and grill in my state that among their menu items was a Spicy Chocobo Sandwich meal.

I miss the AFK Tavern. :(

(Though for all I know you're thinking of another one. The AFK was hardly the only nerdy/gaming themed bar & grill out there, nor the only one that the pandemic killed; the Stormcrow up in Vancouver was another casualty.)

I love this idea. I sadly haven't kept the forms for all my old racing chocobos but I would love to set the ones I have left free on the island.
