Comparing Chocobos to instanced raids is not really appropriate.

Chocobo is a Final Fantasy staple. It's basic content. That's why the price is so low and it's so easy to get. It's not like crafters need an r50 DoW job, thank goodness. But on the other hand, why should they have to level a battle class to get basic content?

My gather friend will get his chocobo, he's very happy for that. It only takes a few leve resets. The principle of it still annoys him and he's still concerned that he will have to continue to level a class he does not enjoy in order to play basic content.

I hope this is not the case.
