Company Seals for your own chocobo THATS IT?!

[Pandastirfry]

Maybe, but werent personal chocobos that were purchased slower than rentals, unless you went through a decent breeding process/other things? Besides, we'll have plenty of time for things like that when we get to train our Chocobos for battle or whatever else they have planned.

not at first, orginally it was just luck of the draw if you got one of the colored ones. (you were more likely to get a colored one from a drop, than the purchased, but I still got a red for a purchased egg) Actual attributes to the chocobo didn't come until Breeding and Racing were introduced.

When XI first introduced personal chocobos they didn't have breeding that came in a later patch.

edit: Oh yeah and the actual attributes for you chocobo were affected by how much time you spent(wasted) in actually going and talking to your chocobo while it was still a chick. if you spent no time with it, it was AS fast as a rental, not slower.
