    Suggestion for Black Chocobo

    Being a long time Final Fantasy fan I was a bit surprised by when I got the Black Chocobo that it shared the same music as the company Chocobo and it didn't have it's own theme much like the Black Chocobo on Final Fantasy 4 had, so I was wondering, is it at all possible that the Black Chocobo could maybe have it's own theme someday?

    It would be nice.
    It used to be the first flying mount that was guaranteed by MSQ.
    Now that all mounts fly, it's just a stepping stone to unlocking flight in HW and latter zones.
    Course, they probably don't actually own that music anymore, there's been issues.

    On the other hand if a composer wanted to make something ... well... we can always hope that the private downtime projects go into things that interest us, eh?

    All the chocobo mounts (Company Chocobo, Legacy Chocobo, Ceremony Chocobo, Red Draught Chocobo, Black Chocobo) have the same theme (Eorzea de Chocobo) so this is more of the same. Considering this is a different theme to the rental chocobo/chocoporter theme (Bo Down), I do kind of miss the earlier one (hence sometimes I just hire a chocoporter just to sit back and listen to that theme ).

    Alas, given Uematsu has basically stepped away from FFXIV's OST now and even Soken has been on leave, both due to medical reasons, I don't see this changing really.

    Also apparently changing mount music is not really that simple, but it is possible. I guess if enough people asked for it Soken might oblidge, but it's unlikely sadly, given he has a lot on his plate with the upcoming expansion and being in remission from his cancer fight.

    I think the better fix here would be if you got a list of all the songs on all your mounts combined, and allow you to attach a specific tune to a specific mount. A bit like an orchestrion.
