Providing different mounts, mount sizes, mount animations, speed.

Feasibility with anima system.(spare me the nostalgia bit.)
And what to do while on mount(maybe more than just FFXI's dig.)
And Prices!
Not to mention you have to determine where chocobos can go and where they can't. Can chocobos go underground? Can chocobos go into dungeons? Do chocobos use the same terrain collision rules as players? Since there are no zone lines, can you use chocobos inside cities?

If not, how do you stop players from riding into no-chocobo areas? Do you eject the player off the chocobo immediately? Do you have the game give a warning?

See, lots of stuff to get settled.
