I dont even know why even make this thread when we know full and well chocobos will still be priority when it comes to mounts.
Chocobos will have armor in next patch. Yoshi already said they will be used as a companion that will fight along you and they working on breeding and other options just for choco.
So when it comes to choco you will get your quality.
Other mounts wont get the special treatment, they are just a gimmick given to players so they can have some fun and variety.
