I think at this point Chocobos are not the deal breaker, but for some it would keep them just a bit longer. If i don't have anima I'm not loggin in, I'm just gonna regain anima, eff walking in a world with dreary landscape. I can only use my hermes shoes once a day for 30 mins, after those quickboots are gone, its anima time, or I'm falling asleep tying to walk my ass to Camp Tranquil from Grid. If they don't have real content in mind, or their real content is far away, they should think about stupid tricks like this that might keep people the extra months it takes to make content.
