From the POL site:
No longer will adventurers have to rely on rental chocobos for traveling around Vana'diel!
Players will be able to call their very own chocobos anywhere, at anytime.
Impress your friends with your personal chocobo mount!
Calling Your Chocobo
Calling your chocobo will involve an enchant item, similar to the signal pearl or empress band. With the appropriate item equipped, you will be able to call your trusty mount at any time, in any area where chocobo riding is permitted.
We are planning on setting the enchant recast to a time period that won't adversely affect in-game balance. Rather than making it possible to recall your chocobo immediately after dismounting, it will be necessary to wait for a certain amount of time.
Wewf?
Chikken and Chikken Prices
Well, we all know they will do some recast time that will make it so you will still have to rely on normal chikkens in the towns (e.g., you cheap bastards wont be able to just never have to rent a chikken again).
My one hope is these personal chikkens don't affect the price of the normal chikkens. In fact, I hope the personal chikkens reduce the price of the normal ones.
For those who don't know, the price of chikkens for a given Choco NPC is dependant upon how many chikkens that NPC has rented out recently. As a SE developer once explained (bah, too lazy to find the interview, google it), this is to reduce the potential lag in a given area (persons on chocos are given higher priority and more leniency on the server since their travel speed is so much higher and they have to dismount to attack or get aggro). Thus, the more choco use there is in a region, the more it will cost to rent another (this is why places like Tahrongi and Lower Jeuno are so high).
My hope (and I know, this kind of goes against the design goal of the choco prices) is that people using their own chocos will not count towards this price, and instead reduce it generally.

WoW Stuff
It's WoW like, which I always thought to be nonsense. You are in the middle of some desolate place and *poof* - instant ride.
tam thats true
but in the end fun is greater than reality..
represented by the mathematical equation:
R=reality ................................
F=fun ............... F = R x b ^ t/2
t=time ...................................
b=rate ...................................
no not really... >_>

bah a recast time?

i WANT A MULTICOLOR JENNET!
()step one. breed blue balfrey with green jennet.
()step two. breed outcome with a normal jennet.

()a black jennet would be cool but i dunno if thats even possible >_>
()i knew i would get a tiny chocolate chicken oneday!!!!
()they should make it so that everytime ur choco breeds he gets al ittle older and a little slower this would make breeding less common and mabye make it cost money <_< which is where chocobo brothels come in, im going to set up a chocobo brothel in nashmau as soon as they come out its 10k gil to breed with a normal chocobo, and 100k for any rare strand. Bring your own males... NO BEASTIALITY: WITH A PUNISHMENT OF DEATH, unless you pay the excpected 5 million gil fine ^o^
