FYI even trhough i haven't been using my chocobo for a while, the buttons (except for follow) make some chocobo noises. I wanna get a reagan pepper and give my chocobo 1 skill from those trees but its so freakishly expensive. I hope one day to finally fork over the cash!
I think you can buy a Reagan Pepper for 20 Allied Seals at your Grand Company's Hunt Billmaster. Getting 20 Allied Seals shouldn't be much of an issue.
