If it's not a big deal, enjoy the slowly picking yourself up animation, dusting yourself off and a 'sulk' type of emote to follow it. They could certainly have some fun with it.
That would work really well as a mini-game in the Golden Saucer. “Choco-rodeo”. (^_^ )-b But, to be honest, i don’t think players are waiting for a “mini-game” just for mounting their chocobo’s. hehe. Actually, i think most people would find it annoying, if they were to trying run from FATE to FATE and they would “slip” from their mount every once and a while. (^_^; )

But, just by adding “simple” things, like idle animations where the Chocobo would flap its wings and Wark every once and a while, or looks for something to eat on the ground will add a whole new “dimension” to mounts and lot of “fun & immersion” into the game.

At least, it would for me.

Hmmm… This made me think… We already have minions who interact with each other. Why not have our Companions interact with each other? “Talking” to each other, playfully chasing each other, or maybe some courting between Companions when we can have both male and female Chocobo’s? (^_^ )

What i also miss is a little more interaction with my Kwehzacotl. I mean. He does look at me every once and a while, but i like to see him do more then just that. Walking around a little bit like the Minions, wark every once and a while, look for food, etc.

I would also love to be able to move him out of danger, if he’s being attacked with a AoE/Cone attack (like we can do with our Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar pets). It would be perfect if the Companion AI would move outside of AoE/Cone attacks on their own (maybe with a RNG so that it won’t dodge every AoE/Cone attack like a pro (^_~ ) ).
