I know we are most likely going to have different coloured chocobos, which will allow a little bit of differentiation. But what would really make our chocobos special and more personal is being able to customise their appearance, much like our own character. Being able to add length of feathers, facial features like eye and beak shape, darker or lighter tinges, even overall size and build would be amazing. With this feature added, all of our chocobos really would feel like they were our own!

I can't be the only one who has thought of this, I'm sure many people have. Seeing all those chocobos running together in that new limit break video from PAX Prime has made me realise that we need this. If, after all, chocobos are a staple of Final Fantasy and the primary mount for FFXIV: ARR, as well as a companion, then surely we should be able to personalise them much like our own character!

Let me know what you guys think.
Just weird to me lol. The whole chocobo as a companion sounds like Star Wars the Old Republic companions. I have a feeling that each chocobo is going to have its own color like it did in FF7.

Black Choco (Tank)

Red Choco (Caster)

White Choco (Healer).

I just hope Yoshida distinguishes the companion chocos vs the choco mounts already in game. I rather have a little fat chocobo at my side then the one that looks like my mount. Meh.
