Little hint to Yoshi-P and the devs. They exists in pretty much all FF's. Way better then random evil mounts and brings out a "FF-esque" atmosphere.
The THM in Uldah CS has a hard time controling the Gobbue and we are gona ride em?
Ahrimans are evil as @!(*# and im gonna sit on his giant eye?
I think colored chocobos and customizable armor is more FF. Hell why not make em breedable and giving em diff appearance. (Ex: Bigger beak, more tail feathers, longer legs, smaller neck.)
Appealing to the FF fans is what is needed ~ Not copy/pasting other mmos.
(My opinion^_^)
