I recall him revisiting this at a Fan Festival back in... Stormblood?

One of the questions from the audience was "will you update the companion system?" and his response then was "based on the data, there's very few people who have capped their chocobo". I think that's changed over the past several years.

I'm hopeful. Plus all the animations for the moogles are already in the game.
