Well, instead of being a snide jerk for no reason you could probably go ahead and reread my post. Not once in my reply did I imply or state that I "knew" anything about the development. I said "probably" because, even though there ARE chocobos in each city-state, they PROBABLY didn't have the mechanics for using chocobos. Just having the animation and the model aren't enough. They would need to figure out the programming for chocobo speed vs normal speed, as well as the controls for using them, countering the aggro and AoE system, as well as dispelling any bugs and probably more.

And they hopefully will be special, as they have said they will be, but it will take some time. You should be happy they are giving us the rental version BEFORE all of that so that we can at least have that while we wait for the good stuff.
