Tonberry, as a playable race.

His point was that players talk, which sort of conflicts with Tonberrys being a perpetually silent creature. Chocobos aren't player controlled (at least not in the sense that it's supposed to be "you") so it doesn't really apply here.

Chocobos have been controlable characters though, Final Fantasy Tatics.

You're missing the point. It isn't about whether or not something it's controllable, it's about whether or not it's capable of speaking.

Controlling a chocobo in a single player game is irrelevant. The chocobo won't speak, and as a player in a single player game there are no other players to talk to.

This dynamic changes in an MMO. Whatever you're controlling that represents you as a player will be seen as the one talking whenever you type something in the chat log. Chocobos are pets in FFXIV, and they don't represent the player speaking.
