Lets look at this another, more reasonable way.

In order to get your own personal chocobo, you must earn and trade in at least 3000 seals.. Period.

If you want seals, you will figure out a way to get them. Currently that means you need to complete specific quests. I'm sure other means will become available, but at this stage you must figure out what to do to earn those seals.

If you do not want to complete these specific quests, you need to either wait for new content, or ask SE for another handout.

Make your choice.
