I have done research. And so have others. For 7 years it hasn't changed. Perhaps you are confused because you are using your own raised chocobo for comparison? Try a rental. Rental (and full-strength breeder) chocobos and Flee are both 100% movement speed; the fastest a player is legally allowed to travel. Even Allakhazam (notorious for disputing with FFXIclopedia) agrees: http://ffxi.allakhazam...nt_speed_modifications and here's a guide on GameFAQs from 2003: http://www.gamefaqs.co...swin/file/555735/26281 which concurs: Flee and Chocos are the same speed. Hell, even the RMT say so: http://ffxi.ffxi-gil.net/news/game-news-16758.html. Here's a guide from 2006 on IGN: http://faqs.ign.com/articles/722/722468p1.html.
