Parade Chocobo - He Wears A Crown But He's No King.

The Parade Chocobo is the poor man's Fat Chocobo for people who don't want to pay for the collector's edition upgrade to get it.

That would only make sense if there was an abundance of them. Parade Chocobo is the rarest mount in the game. So the regular Fat Chocobo is the lazy man's Parade Chocobo. XD

Hm, neat that I own the rarest mount. But I can foresee that changing eventually. Over time, everyone will have 3000+ commendations.

I think you might have misunderstood me. When I said poor man's chocobo, i meant in terms of monetary value (Free VS paid). You can either suck it up and grind for those 3000 commendations to get the mount for free, or you can plunk down a few bucks to get a similar version right now.

I have one as well.

o/\o <-- (that's a high five)

Yeah, the Parade Chocobo has been out for a while. I assume they'll be coming out with another reward for commendations eventually, probably when the Parade gets knocked from rarest.

Generally when the term "poor man's" means a cheaper, common, and less impressive option. In terms of dollar price, the Parade Chocobo is indeed cheaper. But it's rarity and altered appearance gives it a much higher value, even though that value isn't real money.
