My chocobo is lvl 14 now and barely doing any more damage than he was at lvl 10. Apparently the only stat increase it gets is from the passive skills you acquire. Sure, now my max attack chocobo can now use some skills from the tank (read: worthless) and healer trees, but comeon, increase the stats a little as they level.

Besides maxing out the attack tree, I have an additional +10% STR, and +15% Crit. His auto-attack on target dummies went from an average of a whopping 130 at lvl 10, to about 140 at lvl 14.

Seems too easy to make the reward slightly more in line with the effort required. I understand there is nothing worthwhile that you can use your chocobo for right now, but this just seems silly.
