Wait, there's an Original Fat chcobo? Where is it?

[GenericMagus]

As I was just looking through the list of mounts that's obtainable in game on this website (http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mounts), it appears that there's a mount that hasn't been released yet. Why hasn't there been much discussion on this mount? (Or maybe I haven't found the thread for it yet).

Has there been anything that hints to where this mount will drop? Is it a raid drop a la Gobwalker from A4S? I just found it odd where there's information that there's a mount available but no conceivable way of getting it at the moment.

Or could it be a bonus of something that Square's bringing out, like a bonus CD of music tracks?

Mounts and minions are often put into the game before they were given any attainment method.
This one isn't unusual. We're just waiting for it to actually become attainable.

do you mean the parade chocobo cause that is an achievement reward.

There's one called Original Fat Chocobo that was added to the game data with 3.2. It looks like the Parade Chocobo except it has white plumage and its crown is red and gold.

No, in the list of mounts, there's one of the mounts that's in game is the Original Fat Chocobo

It has a released name and an icon, but there's no way to obtain it at the moment.

Part of me thinks it might be a new commendation mount, we haven't had an update for commendation rewards in a while.

I hope not, especially for a recolour of a remodel of the fat chocobo from the collectors edition.

Ditto. 3000 commendations for a fat chocobo mount with a hat was asking for a lot...

I suspect that the Original Fat Chocobo might tie into something related to FF3.

Well it does require more "motivation" (bigger food) to get it moving...

I'm less than 300 away from 5,000 now. I wouldn't mind another reward, regardless of what it is. I find the Parade Chocobo looks too similar to the Fat Chocobo, so I wouldn't mind one that's a different color to help it become more noticeable. But that's just my opinion, however unpopular it may be.
