Think they'll ever let us use the companion in more places, or update it?

I really wish i could bring my chocobo into bozja/eureka, Or even use it in unsynced instances.
Maybe with beast master, this could be a thing? Maybe our lil bird will be one of BST's pets and it'll get a updated ability tree

[Graveyardprincess]

tbh i hope beastmaster allows us to modify our chocobo companion with other beast which can make the companion get evolved upon

I would want a new caster dps skilltree for the Chocobo.

(Move the Black Mage barding from the achievment vendor over to the rank 10 reward)

Tanking is usable but aggro generation could be further buffed.

It'd be cool to get some new abilities for your chocobo companion. Maybe teaching them their own Choco Meteor (that I know Blue Mages can cast) for the DPS role, Esuna for the healer role (it gets annoying when I'm doing FATEs and get paralyzed or slowed), and Cover for the Tank role (the Tank role feels pretty useless as you can easily steal back aggro by pressing your buttons normally, Cover would let you utilize the chocobo's tankiness regardless).

They won't. The Chocobo literately outlived it's usefulness with the end of ARR. Since the chocobo doesn't follow mechanics, it would not be useful in a dungeon, and it's unlikely the developers are going to let you train(program) the chocobo to do so.

I’d really like all of these! Especially the Esuna, because my choco’s reaction time isn’t the greatest, so he always gets hit with the debuffs and he could cleanse himself as well as me. lol

Bozja & Eureka for the non-dungeon instances would be great as well. A little back-up healing for when there’s not as many people in an instance and you just want to do bunny fates or slow leveling.

The chocobo is extremely cursed. It took them literally years to get it so you could queue while you had a chocobo out. There was also talk way back in the early days of arr about adding new companions, specifically citing the magitek mount but here we are a decade later and no dice.

Chocobos are pretty outdated to the point they still have accuracy stats.

I don't really know what could be done with them at this point, the game has moved so far away from overworld content that they basically exist just as a inconsequential boost for fate farming.

Oh yeah they do XD
They really should get some love. Were they asked about in any of the interviews?

Trusts effectively ended any chance of them allowing chocobos in duties. At least they still have use when you're out and about though.

Squadrons, on the other hand, were a complete flop despite coming out *years* later. If any system needed an overhaul, it's that. But it's unlikely they'll ever bother with it for the same reason.
