Aside from looking different what is the point of breeders now?
Depends on statistical difference really. Grand Company chocobo could be the first one, then after that you'd have to start breeding at an NPC stable for the next, after which you can breed your own. Really need to know more about the mount system in 2.0, but the whistles don't mean this isn't possible.
