And would you like the idea of giving someone else a ride on your mount?
Ex:
Rosetta: /shout "WHITE MAGE LOOKING FOR A RIDE TO 123FAKESTREET KTHX!" :D
John Doe: <Rosetta would like to hitch a ride on your mount.>
<yes>? <no>?
*Both ride the choboco together*
----------------------------------------------
The other ex:
Rosetta: /shout "WHITE MAGE LOOKING FOR A RIDE TO 123FAKESTREET KTHX!" :D
John Doe: <Rosetta would like to hitch a ride on your mount.>
John Doe: /whispers to Rosetta: "F*ck you buddy! you're SOL! LAWLZ"
Rosetta: <Rosetta has stolen your mount>
... yea, so what do you guys think?

nah really cant think of any other mount in the FF universe, except maybe a steampunk ride which wouldnt fit tho probably. But the idea of sharing mounts is something i would support

But I'm not sure the whole "hitch a ride" idea would work, seeing as how some morons would take people somewhere that they didn't really want to go, and even though they could dismount, it still creates an inconvenience. That, and I don't want to be asked all day for rides if I had one.

different colors and speeds would be cool though on the choco's if we see them as mounts again. but gaining them i'd like to see differently then the chocobo raising. that was just not really fun though some of it was funny. time consuming but not fun = why?

If we get choco's, allow us to equip it with gear to strengthen the aspect we are using the chcobo for. If we are traveling have gear to boost chocobo duration and possibly speed, if racing have stats to boost their speeds and such, if digging, you get the idea.

@ weeble: You did the Chocobo quests because you pretty much had to... it was the fastest transport to anywhere other than citys, teles or outpost (if you had it)

///Hitching Rides
Well I certainly would like to option of bieng able to hitch rides. On the flip side, that might only be relevant if mounts were decently hard to obtain. Many games offer the option to start riding a mount at a somewhat low level, so you will often see a town full of people on mounts, making them seem as if they were a dime a dozen. Devils advocate: Why hitch a ride when you have your own.
///More Mounts
As a person that did not play FFXI, I would find it quite appealing to have the opportunity to ride something other than a chocobo. However, I do realize that I might be missing out on a bit of the game lore surrounding reasons why only chocabos were used. This my outsider's perspective on the issue. I say yes to more mounts.
///Stealing Mounts
I'm sure this idea would seem decent to some, but I'm not sure that it would be feasible. I think think that after a while FFXIV would turn into a giant game of Grand Theft Chocobo.

Was suppose to be implemented and never happened. This is along the lines of what I'd definitely like to see in XIV.

yea, that would totally be awesome if you could build chocobo's based on your characters appearance and needs. Maybe some chocobos' will be better suited to carrying heavier loads of gear, maybe some are made for duration, just some variation besides pretty colors would be nice.

I guess I just hate having everything handed to me.
I mean, you could "equip" him just like you would yourself, with items and gear, and these would then give some cosmetic, and some minor Chocobo related stat increases. Like Choco armour, of some sort... Just some minor visual things, that maybe make your choco run a tiny bit faster, last a tiny bit longer.. etc etc.
It would be really cool to have different looking chocobos based on your race as well.... I mean in FFXI they where just bigger or smaller, but still the same ole choco, however actually showing different breeds and changing them based off race much like the ones mentioned in that Link, is an awesome idea.

Different regions could alter the chocos too in certain ways, just like RL birds... With that then you could go to a certain region to get it making you travel more.

You know you can change your class whenever you want to, right? Would your mount change too?
