I do think Chocobos could afford to be buffed, it doesn't operate well at all roles like it is supposed to and Tank Chocobo is completely useless due to its enmity generation being far to weak to hold aggro of a level 100 DPS, but it's hardly "almost obsolete".

Oh, and also the fact that the Company Chocobo is the only customizable mount in the game and all Bardings apply to it as a mount is great to some people.
So, the only functional job the chocobo has is just healer and you can only play dress up with it? I feel like when they did the stat squish in EW my chocobo felt abit weaker in terms of heals, but it could be just me. It would be nice to see them revisit the chocobo, give it buffs and/or more skills/levels beyond 10. I've never seen anyone using the chocobo as a mount so it feels the dress up is really niche unless you're grinding gemstones all the time.

I think chocobos are adorable but it makes me sad that the only content they get is just dress up.

I guess I meant obsolete in terms that they're not getting any buffs/abilities and their useage is pretty niche, in my opinion I guess. Perhaps obsolete is improper.
