No quest for chocobo riding?

I have gone to the other 2 nations via flight and talked to both of their leaders. I never received a follow up quest that I saw. I am now level 20 but have no quest for getting the ability to ride. What did I miss? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Its a quest after you choose your grand company, not part of the main story line. The NPC will be near your GC though.

For being able to ride a mount.

GC? sorry new to the game. :-/

A lot of the quests are xx ~ xx range.

What that means is just because other people got it at level 20 doesn't mean you'll get it at level 20. I think I was 22 before I got on my fat yellow bird.

Mainly 99% of things if you just follow the main storyline, you'll run into it.

Ok, if I remember right it sent me aleport so back to questing there. Thank you.

The quest becomes available only after you join a Grand Company, and it's given out by an NPC standing right next to the GC merchant. Level is irrelevant.

Well, except that you can't do the quests to join a Grand Company until you hit 20.

Grand Company. You will be prompted to choose one during the main story line, at which time the quest for your chocobo will become available.

Thank you very much for this link! Hopefully I come across this Grand Company quest at some point. I went back to Aleport and started questing there again to see if that put me back on track since that was where I got told to go after delivering the 2nd message (from being sent from my home nation to the other 2, names elude me atm for my embarrasement).

There is a special thread of quests, called "storyline quests". They are a separate catagory in your journal, and all its markers have a special grahpic (which was pointed out in the Active Help in the opening quest, but you might have skipped over that). This is where the Grand Company unlock, and almost all the other important stuff is, as well as being a single chain of quests that tells the main story (hence "storyline"). Check your Journal. If your Journal doesn't have an open storyline quest, look in completed quests for the last storyline quest you did; the next one on offer will be there, and will probably be offered by the person you closed the last storyline quest with. They are really the most important quests in the game, and should be your first priority in doing your quests. The Aleport quests should lead you fairly quickly to Satasha, your first dungeon. You're still a while away from Grand Company; you'll have two more dungeons after Satasha and you'll have to fight Ifrit (don't worry much; as long as you kill the Nail to nerf his Astral Flow, Ifrit at 20 is a joke).

When it comes to Chocobo, I'll just wait for Chocobo racing. ^^

Seriously, when that feature hits we'll get chocobo breeding quests, race training quests, maybe something goofy too.
