He's really disappointed about the Chocobo thing. It was a long awaited promise that he really really looked forward to. He can rent but he wants his own becuase he doesn't want to be tied to a city or to be limited to only 20 mins. because it makes it useless to someone who gathers for hours very far from town. Plus, it's the gall of seeing "everyone else" running around on chocobos when he's not. So you gotta respect his point of view that this is a major blow to his outlook of the future game. How long will he have to wait before he feels like the game is improving? Because right now he feels pretty left out.

I've offered to power level him and run him through the r25 quests for all 3 cities. I don't want to lose a friend.
You are a good friend. ^^ I'll keep my fingers crossed that he does not feel left out for much longer.
