Rather than this system, I'd prefer it if we got a "Chocobo feather" item like that one kid wore on his hair in Final Fantasy: Ultimate that let's us speak to our Choco companion and understand what he's saying. That should give them the personality and stuff that the people in this thread seem to desire. There are plenty of human "NPCs" in this game, and I'd much rather they expand upon this existing system rather than dumpster it for something from 1.0.
