Not only that but it can only be exclusively Chocobos, anything else just steals their thunder and that's what people are afraid of.

Seriously though, give me a true compelling argument for having ONLY Chocobos. "It's FF" isn't enough, there has to be a better argument. This series evolves and this game could make use of it. By the "stick to tradition" logic we shouldn't have ever added any new classes past what we had in FF1 because it's just not FF. It really just tarnishes what made FF in the first place. Also we should be playing with menu turn-based battle systems in instanced fight zones that randomly trigger as you walk along.
I'm still upset that Fighter was renamed to Warrior and Black Belt was renamed to Monk.
