While Tiergan uses a regular chocobo - I don't see what the big deal is about using a lot of others.
Fat Chocobo is just a morbidly obese chocobo.
The idea of taming a coeurl for use as a mount is not really mindblowing.
Drakes? Bomb Chariots? Water Lizard mount things? We have quests in game where you befriend different beast tribes and they can give you those things as mounts. If you're turning up your nose at people riding those things because you think they're breaking the lore, you're ironically also just picking and choosing what you feel is 'lore' based upon your own personal feelings as opposed to what is actually in the game as lore.
The only mounts I would kind of quirk a brow at are maybe behemoth, Sleipnir, and the primal unicorn ponies, but if you find a fun way to spin it RP wise in a way that's plausible ("It's not actually the real Sleipnir! It's just a horse dressed to resemble it.") - then I will just roll with it.
At the end of the day, a couple of people riding mounts that aren't standard yellow chocobos isn't going to shatter all of my RP.
