I'm also for just chocobos (in different sizes, colours etc) as mounts. I found it very annoying in other mmo's that there were mounts from creatures that were either not in the game in any other shape or form or were clearly much to aggresive to tame and ride. More often than not people would look stupid and out of place on them too.

Give us our shephard job with a means to breed chocobo's so these can be sold to the public maybe?
