Chocobo Content Update (Hot and Cold mini game, Chocobo Paradise, Beast Tribe, etc)

I wish we had a Chocobo Breeding system similar to Final Fantasy XI... Closest we get is whats involved with Chocobo Racing, but those birds pop out fully grown... XI you cared for an egg all the way up to adulthood, with various traits acting as stats for the Chocobo Digging side content, which was somewhat similar to IXs Hot-and-Cold minigame.

Just Chocobo Hot-and-Cold would be absolutely amazing though. Probably one of my favourite minigames in Final Fantasy. They've kind of already got the systems needed in place via the bunnies in Eureka...

I loved the ability to breed and raise Chocobos. It wasn't for everyone, but it was a fun bit of side-content that really gave me a better connection to my Chocobo.

I have also been clamoring for a Chocobo Dungeon since 2.0 , I think a up to 4-man + 4 Chocobo Dungeon would be amazing! Rewards could be Chocobo items for dyeing and exp gain, and barding. I would love a player created Chocobo barding design contest! I bet we could come up with some really interesting stuff, from cutesy monster based ones to fantastical fantasy themed ones.

I just feel like the Chocobos have been left by the wayside which is sad. I definitely think having a Choco questline when you hit rank 20 to unlock further ranks which unlock barding and other Choco related items would be great! Maybe one day

In anticipation for Shadowbringers I was thinking about the new "Chocobo" of our new shard. Of course they're not quite a chocobo but they were introduced with that sort of concept in the live letter (they say it's sort of a chocobo for the shard):

With that said I was wondering if these Amaro are truly chocobo equivalents or if that was just something they said to give players a semi-reference point (outside game commentary vs in game). Or in other words is it related like Ronso is related to Hrothgar and Lalafells to Dwarves or is it more like a great sword is related to a long sword in that they're both swords (but not the same thing).

Further then... I wonder if it would be possible for an Amaro to be in place of our Chocobo Companion (to fight by our side, race, hot and cold, and so forth). I imagine making some of the barding fit would be a challenge though. If yes they are chocobo equivalents and then yes included into chocobo content then Amaro genes into chocobo breeding could certainly add a lot of chocobo variation options (as I imagined in the first page soft fluffy chocobos like in FFXIII).

Yoshi-P talked recently about needing more blue mage party content, could be nice if we could use Blue Mages in those Chocobo Dungeon concepts~! Also I am definitely for the idea of chocobo dungeons and more (I made a line about perhaps allowing our chocobo to act as an extra squadron member when doing squadron missions and such too).

Also a chocobo barding player contest could be really cool. . ! Agreed I feel Chocobos have been left alone/forgotten a bit. Like Airships imo Chocobos feel like a great nostolgia point for me and feel they're a bit soft spoken at the moment (made an airship thread too lol).
