How should they implement Chocobos?

[Mack]

On top of what you suggested TC (although I would like a fun quest for a Chocobo license similar to FFXI but not as arduous) I would like for Chocobos to have armor and some game mechanic involved with them in combat I think would be great - but combat or otherwise, I still want them to wear armor. I would also not mind raising your own Chocobo as long as its fun, I did not enjoy the FFXI one at all, I hate when a game mechanic is built in simply for extending the time sink, they need to think of fun first and foremost and not drag something out for the sake of dragging it out. A digging mini game would be cool but give it more depth and maybe not a hidden "level" this time around. Perhaps make some dungeon depths accessible through Chocobos only (i.e., Chocobo has to leap/fly to another cliff past some gap to get to some hidden locations) Jesus just make it *fun* no matter what you do.
