Before anybody brings up FC buffs, I'd like to request someone link me to a thread where players asked/begged/whined for those to be available to individuals. They don't count.
And that's what a FC perk should be. It's a bonus for being with a like-minded group of wonderful individuals rather than something that is absolutely necessary.
If they plan on doing more with Chocobos you can guarantee you'll need a FC for it or drop a lot of gil on a plot. They just gave people who are allergic to FCs an alternate solution, albeit one that is extremely costly.
