Chocobo: Kui
Chocobos remind me of Yupa's (later Nausicaa's) faithful companions in Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa so I named my chocobo after one of them.

Holy shit they are everywhere.. (I've seen this before.. just a long time ago forgot about it XD)
Is there an animal in Japan that has a chocobo esque shape? Or just too damn cute to pass up? lol
I thought they look a bit like dodos (not the more plump FFXIV dodos):
And apparently the idea for chocobos came from Nausicaa (if Wikipedia and its reference are to be believed)

(scroll down to the last line of the Reception section)
And reference #14 from that Wikipedia entry:
Rogers, Tim (March 27, 2006). "In Defense of Final Fantasy XII". Edge. "Okay, so the Chocobos -- big, yellow riding birds -- were actually stolen from Hayao Miyazaki's movie 'Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind', and Hironobu Sakaguchi freely admitted that way back when."
But .. dodos are in FFXI/FFXIV.. :PI thought they look a bit like dodos (not the more plump FFXIV dodos):

Actually that makes me wonder.. Will we get a Dodo mount.. lol
(Thanks for the research ^_^) - I'll probably be watching that anime again now lol
What do you think he did when you were away? Mr. Mog-mog was a naughty moogle he changed my clothes too..
Yoshi said we will get it during one of the main quests - even talked about it possibly having special features during that portion of the quest.
