Predetermined names for Racing chocobos????

[Twivana]

When registering, you’ll be able to name your chocobo by selecting from words in a pre-determined list, combining two words to create your chocobo’s name.

Anyone else disappointed in this? D:

Probably done to avoid insulting or racist names.

Maybe it was so at the end of the race its not like "HahaChocoboBalls" wins first place. Though I really hope we can at least make one racing chocobo to be a companion in the fields too (whistle bound to one of your bred chocobos). I was looking forward to them adding more customization over time too for that reason, kind of wanted to see the fluffy feathered chocobos.

Probably done as an homage to racing horses, which tend to have pretty over-the-top names. I suspect that once the list of possible names is revealed people will end up having a lot of fun with them.

Its like how they did it in XI, which I remember there being quite a diverse list of words to combine from there. I'd say its to avoid racist/rude names, which may well be a reason, but then we also get freedom in choosing our company chocobo's name so that doesnt make much sense.

Unless it's BECAUSE we had freedom with the company chocobo, so many terrible and disgusting names, they decided we aren't mature enough to choose our own names anymore ._.

I won't be surprised if they use the exact name list from XI, with extras thrown in.
