Well, Chocobos as battle companions (taking on the FFXI role of NPC fellows), and as pack animals (portable storage) will making breeding and raising a very key part of this game.

But I agree, there really wasn't much of a point to the FFXI's breeding system unless you focused on racing -- which didn't really offer players anything useful for the rest of the game.
