All of this was requested many times already. We yet have to hear an answer from SE. What they did so far was making it possible that you can fight with your choccobo AND ride it too. Also the Agenda has a nice extra option to level your birdie now. That's an improvement but still not enough. I agree to all your points and it shouldn't be too complex and time demanding to add them to the Game. Waiting times for DF runs can be quite long. Or waiting for a rare FATE while you wait for a DF run lol. Don't lock our birdie away while we patiently wait for the next group.
