Gold/Yellow structure in new ARR Video...

It's not the same logic as what they use for in-game chocobos. I could fathom that chocobos are staying in your vicinity while you are on adventures and that allows them to be called so quickly. Having them wait for five years in the exact same spot is a lot less believable.

What you wrote could make sense but at this point it's just your own explanation without any in-game evidence. As far as I know lore wise, there is no explanation other than "they just come when they're called." Maybe they stay close by as you adventure, maybe they run from the city-states and just look like they popped up to save us time, maybe the whistles teleport them, maybe the cg chocobos sensed their masters will reappear and were waiting in the vicinity, who knows. But what we do know is that when you whistle in the game, they seem to come out of nowhere and when you get off they seem to run off and disappear.

What I mean when I say it follows the same in-game logic is that the cg chocobos appearing out of nowhere is just a movie illustration of what happens with our in-game chocobos - they both just suddenly appear when called. I'm not saying it makes logical sense perse, as the question of where did they come from still exists. If we want to question where the cg chocobos came from, we should start by questioning where any of our chocobos come from when called. But if we accept that in-game chocobos seem to appear out of thin air when called, then we should accept that these cg chocobos do the same. Asking how the chocobos still do this after a 5 year time-skip certainly seems to add more questions, but it's built on top of an accepted fantastical logic.




Interesting side note, the legacy chocobo was originally a rental like the other party members in the "A New Adventure" trailer but was changed later. If the midlander used his 1.0 whistle, it should've called his original chocobo since they're trained to listen to specific whistles. SE probably just overlooked this and wanted to show us legacy chocobos but mayyybe it's an indication that our 1.0 chocobos "turn into" legacy chocobos instead of us having 2 birds..? No other evidence to suggest this though so I'm just throwing it out there for now.
