I'm just hoping they don't do anything to the grind aspect of leveling the damn bird, whenever they get around to adding/changing content to it. The usefulness of the Chocobo companion is limited, but it's still something to work towards. A very long-term goal for most of us willing to do it. Some might argue that the exp grind is too long and that wanting to keep it that way is pointless, but that's just it; the entire Chocobo leveling feature IS pointless due to the limited usefulness of the bird. It's almost along the same lines as a generic achievement. It's something for completionists and those looking to just kill time with.
