Also, I did get one and used it, until it obnoxiously took up 80% of my screen (so like 3 seconds) and then I promptly switched back to chocobo.

I like Chocobo better also for the same reasons as you do. I personally don't feel like they were treating this mount like it was the best thing to ever come to ffxiv. I think they just added some lore in there so it wouldn't be like getting a random Goobbue. I understand how the news and dev posts make it seem that way though. I am just happy for the option and the derpyness (I know its not a real word) makes them something fun to have.

Hopefully later when we get more mounts we can choose what one we want to be put on the micro menu so that we do not have a whole bunch of little icons.
