Chocobo raising and breeding in XI was very complex but only very time consuming if you did it alone.
The system was set up to have player to player interaction. If i hatched a chocobo that had the attribute of having a long riding time, and you hatched a chocobo that had high rate of speed. We could then mate our chocobos and hatch the resulting eggs into a bird that had potential higher speed with longer riding time.

It worked the same for raising different colored chocobos.

It was a deep and complex system *IF* you wanted it that way.

I just raised a basic chocobo which had slow speed (still faster than running) and a moderate riding time. It was nice and convenient to call when out in the middle of no where. If I were in a city I would rent.
