Ul'dah and Gridania both start on a chocobo carriage.

You'll get the Limsa opening on the ferry if you start the game as either ACN or MRD. You get the Ul'dah opening if you start as GLA, THM or PGL, and the remaining classes (CNJ, LNC and ARC) give you the Gridania opening.
Well I did start as a MRD and I am really sure I got the carriage ride intro but I may be mistaken I will create a new character and watch it again now ^^.
