They refuse to even acknowledge this anymore, they have recently talked about letting us mount our chocobo while it's summoned possibly in 2.2, que up in the duty finder sometime after 2.3, and in the style of SE instead of bringing up the chocobo respect, they added in the chocobo suit for hitting rank 10 to try to give people a reason that mixed their points to still whip out the old bird. My guess is they still think they will add in chocobo raising at some point, and respeccing points, something that should have been in at release, will be a "feature" released with that content. Chocobo raising will more than likely be with or after personal housing, and according to SE that would be 3-6 months after FC housing, and we all know 3-6 months SE time equals 1-2 years real time, so I think we might get respect for our chocobos in time for the summer Olympics in Rio 2016.
