I remember seeing the Chocobo concept art for FFXI, where they had different armour on (plate, cloth, etc.). It would be cool if we could armour up our chocobos for battle and to increase certain stats (similar to breeding and racing in FFXI).
Well, IGN said that Chocobos will be used in a completely different way in FFXIV, using them as some form of combat pet does fit the bill and would be a fun feature to have.
