I wouldn't mind see chocobo mounts returning in the form of FF7 chocobo breeding. I don't remember everything but you had certain traits and then you breed them. YOu had a certain chance to get a certain offspring. The starting chocobos could be like +5% speed and then gold could be +60%. It would enchance gathering as well because I thought you had to feed them something when they breed which could be gathered in the world. This way getting a mount would actually be fun/challenge instead of buy for 100g and done (like wow).
