Level 20 chocobos - Make them a little different?

[Felis]

Yoshida doesn't want to force players to "strive" for something as it'll create stress. This is why he made everything with a 'universal' approach, so there's no rifts between the playerbase (even though it didn't fully work out.) They originally wanted to use the gambit system as they talked about it all during beta but instead uses it for bosses (that heavy scripting? It's the gambit system.)

So it's very unlikely they'll ever make these special - look at the barding, it was a wasted opportunity to make our chocos special simply because it'll have an actual "worth" to them aside appearance. They also made all mounts the same speed for the same reason.

Yes, the barding is only for glamour

But we can already feed our chocobos with buff food. No problem to bring Chocobo food that can increase the run speed by 25%

Aside the economy (basically their reason for not doing certain things.) Since our gardening is already packed as is just on onions having speed boosting will require something bigger since that gives you an advantage over those who don't partake in gardening/shelling out tons of money (while it seems like nothing to us, to SE giving advantages is a no-no.)

No problem
It could be something like Mimett Gourd seed + Thavnairian Onion seed = "make your chocobo faster" seed
This way you would get mimett gourds that increase the chocobo heal power, Thav Onions and the seeds for the increased speed in one go.

If they add something like this it would in my eyes become must have in frontlines, atleast i would use them for faster capping at the beginning of match.
