Please let us mount other mounts while our chocobo is summoned

But the lore of the game doesn't consider them pets.

Gameplay >> Lore.

In this case, gameplay is a royal PITA. Change ASAP and ignore any lore in the process.

I don't know if I can agree, Lore is the basis of the game, and therefore the game play. If we removed all the lore just to change the game play we would have a very boring game with no point to it. No one wants to play a game that has no point to it.

Eorzeans train and selectively breed Chocobos like we do horses or dogs.
Treating them as domesticated animals is therefore fully supported by the lore and there is 0 reason to treat them as "another player" as the games mechanics currently do.

Also: I am talking about game mechanic changes and not fundamental lore conflicts or retcons (waves at Blizzard).
Lore has 0 influence on that, this is mainly UI/convenience and lore should NEVER be a reason to have a crappy UI / conflicting features (e.g.: can't queue for a dungeon because Chocobo / can't be invited to party because Chocobo / can't ride other mount because Chocobo).
