1.) Players Fight beastmen on there Chocobo mounts as Solo play or Party Play.
2.) Beastmen also Mount up and fight Players in an epic Mount vs Mount Battle.
3.) PvP Mount Battles Players mount up in PVP in a place for that type of PVP and battle it out on Mounts for an Epic Exp.
4.) Chocobo's Can carry players items for them like SE said they Could.
5.) Chocobo Racing players get to race vs other players like in FF7 Chocobo Racing mini game. And get Gil in gme based on who won the race from Npcs. hosting the race or guild or players.
6.) Player can let him chocobo race vs other chocobos and you bet on your chocobo to win the race to earn Gil in FFXIV.
7.) Rasing your own Chocobo up From an egg buy doing a Chain Quest insted of the 1 month in FFXI you have to wait for it to raise and grow up so the quest should take about 1hr to 3hrs then you will have a grown up chocobo to ride on or battle with.
8.) Your Chocobo can aid you in battle for solo play only because it would be to OP for party vs party plus chocobo's.
9.) have chocobo's learn skills in solo play to aid you in fighting or solo mounted fighting.
10.) Summoners if they add them in game can Summon a Chocobo with a moggle riding it like in FF7. with every now and then Fat chocobo shows up hehe I think everyone would like that.
11.) have it so that if your Chocobo is out while your doing Story lines in the game the Chocobo in some areas of the game were you can have them out while doing the story line for your char should also be in the Cut sceens to make it seem more real and epci exp for each player.
12.) Also Have Chocobo's be Differnt Colors like in FF7 So players can start sayw ith a yellow chocobo and buy color dye and dye there chocobos the color of the dye that they bought at the market place or let players Custmize there chocobos own colors from any color to make that chars chocobo uique to them also make it so we can maybe give our chocobos tattoos or markings to make the game seem more reallic to us players. Basicly Chocobos with war paint on the players chocobos.
13.) Naming your own Chocobo with rules of FFXIV of corse so noone uses bad words ect. for chocobo names but naming your own chocob that noone else can use that name once a player picks it for there chocobo makes the chars chocobo uniue to that player s and every players inthe world of hirden/eroza.
14.) I Also Think that They should add into FFXIV CHocobo's Hot & Cold game from FF9 and give the players Chocobos a Tresure Hunter Skill lvl for Findthing Chests ect.. making it more fun for players just wanting to expoler on there chocobo mounts in FFXIV Online.
PS> I hope Square Enix Reads This Post WOuld love them to use some of the ideas i have posted here I want to know what the rest of the FF fams think of this post about chocobos so feel free to add your ideas and comments thank you!

I'll talk on 1/2 points for now then edit my post.
I TOTALLY don't agree with making the timer on raising a baby chocobo from an egg to an adult 1-3hrs maybe 1-2 weeks but not hours.
They could make you a quest were you get a nearly grown chocobo for the first time so that time once it's raised in a day or a matter of hours but NOT if you get it from an egg.
Sorry but that would ruin the skilling up method that was used in FFXI 1-3 hrs is not enough to read stories to your chocobo, train it when it's young, give it different types of food to specify how you want it to grow, plan his training and so on.
2-3 weeks to get an adult chocobo is very good time imo. As long as it's interactive enough that it stays fun, it should be longer than just hours or days. Man's gotta work for something he wants.
To get a fully developed chocobo, 1-2 months should be feasible.
Chocobo raising should take at leats 1 week, maybe 2, but 1 month is a little long, in my opinion.
Also I like the idea of 1 chocbo who can become a friend with you, one that helps you in battle, how better the bound between you and the bird, how better he acts. An chocobo with low affection will not automatic help you, but high affection will. Also they will listen better to commands, and need less candy food to stay happy.
They should have a few different personalities, each has it's strength and weakness. Likes and dislikes. While one loves walk around a lot, a other prefers to fight, etc.
Yes I would love to have a bird buddy that is like a companion, that helps you travel faster and help you in battle, if needed.
And if they can help you in battle you should be able to train them in chocobo jobs. (maybe healer / tank / mage type variation?)
