    I think Chocobos should be the staple mount, but I don't see what is wrong with maybe a few others. But I would be happy with just chocobos anyway, as long as there is a diverse array of sub-species within the chocobo genus. For example, in FFXIII there were the Coccoon Chocobos and then there was the Gran Pulse Chocobos. They were two separate and distinctive breeds. Something like that in FFXIV would be cool.

    Different beaks, different sizes, different coats/feathers, different muscle tone, claws, facial features, wings. And then further ability to customise the mount with a variety of armour would be cool.

    I don't think anyone would begrudge an MMO for only having Chocobos if there was such a huge diversity of chocobos available.

    I like this idea.

    this i wouldn't think anyone would have a problem with. but from what the OP said, it seems he wants totally different mounts other than just chocobos. anything else other than chocobos, i don't think would fit to be in the game. but this is just my and a few others opinions

    I'm fine with chocobo being part of the mount system. In fact, I'd be happy to see different types of chocobo. I simply want available mounts to be expanded beyond chocobo instead of chocobo and only chocobo.

    My bigger concern with all this is distribution. Again, I'm not too fond of chocobo breeding, and I don't see a way you could distribute all those chocobo variations.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
