This is my first thread guys, relly nervous about it...:worried:

Its simple, what would your ideal chocobo side quest consist of?

Perhaps just a simple 'rent-a-chocobo' system in XII, a complex breeding system of VII or a fun 'hot and cold' mini game like in IX? Or maybe even a more complex, rewarding and innovative one?

Hmm, maybe a whacky one, where you manage the highs and lows of your moogle's chocobo jockey career?....or maybe not.

What's to be nervous about, bud? :P

My ideal chocobo sidequest, probably would be a mix of VII's and IX's.
But maybe that's because I haven't played XII yet though I will eventually.

Anyways, breeding chocobos to get better ones that have special abilities is the most unique side quest I've ever done apart from blitzball. Combine that with 'Hot & Cold', and voila!
....though that is basically IX's chocobo sidequest anyway. :P

But it's still fun, nonetheless.
 
yeah, same here, i really enjoyed the simple yet rewarding minigame in IX, that combined with the breeding in VII would excellent. Using one in a fight like cavalary would be great, especially alongside the battle system in XII, new character profession perhaps? Chocobo knight? maybe you could teach your chocobo new combat abilities...:rolleyes:
 
That last bit kinda reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics.
I mean, yeah, the jousting part actually sounds kinda cool...but only if it's implemented into a game with like a medieval background or something, it's obviously not gonna look right FFVIII or something. :rolleyes:
 
yeah, whenever i think of FF i instantly picture FFIX, which is my favourite FF which also has a rich medieval theme, i really want to play FF Tactics aswell, i heard its a lot like XII.....^_^

anyway, sorry-back to the topic, erm CHOCOBOS RULE!

Apart from being set in the same world, Tactics isn't really like XII at all. It's a great game though and I highly recommend it.

I do think a mixture of VII and IX would be the ideal chocobo sidequest. Although that suggestion you made about managing a moogle's jockey career sounds kind of cool. :D
 
Chocobo Hot and Cold pretty much does it for me. It's actually my favorite mini-game in an FF. For the time put in, the rewards were excellent, as opposed to mob hunts in FFXII.
 
I'd go with FF7's chocobo breeding and going out looking for nuts to give to your chocobos and then race them to raise they're stats and stuff.

I never played FF9 so I dont know about that chocobo side quest.

Cool, i'm gonna try and get a copy of FF Tactics soon i think:cool:

The chocobo side quests in VII and IX haven't been bettered yet, i wonder if there will be any in XIII, they will probably be robot ones, like motorcycles or something...:worried:

Anyways, im off to buy some gysahl greens....;)
 
I loved Chocobo Hot and Cold in FFIX. It allowed you to get some of the best weapons that way, great cards if you were into the game, and the opportunity to eventually face off against Ozma in the end. It took a good portion of the game and your time, but not too much.
 
Chocobo Hot and Cold basically does it for me as for an ideal Chocobo game. It's exciting to play and you get maps to treasure locations. Woohoo for free items. The FFXI chocobo game opens to other quests and new locations as well. :D

Hrmm, an Ideal chocobo quest would probably be a little similar to FVII. It would be neat Chocobo quest if you were more involved with Chocobo racing, building your chocobo's personality, and reputation. Also chocobo racing being more competitive. Of course, that leads into winning neat prices.
 
Cool, i always wanted to play XI, dunno if its better to play it on PC or PS2....
I found the chocobos in XII a bit rubbish, can't beat the chocos in VII and IX:D
 
I really loved the Chocobo racing in Final Fantasy VII, it is really enjoyable. I know a few people found it boring but I never did! That was such a great little side quest/mini game. I think VII had the best Chocobo mini games in it, the games after that don't seem to have them so much. I would love to see a lot more in the future.

They should release a Tamagotchi with a Chocobo as an available pet, I would love that. :P They should have a mini game like that on a Final Fantasy game, it may not work very well though.
 
Hmm, a bit like that Moogle game you play in the Gold Saucer...

Wasn't there like a chocobo mini game in FFVIII on the pocket station in Japan?
Oh and Chocobo Racing? I've never actually played it, i heard it wasn't that good.


 
I utterly abhorred VII's chocobo sidequest. I'm fine with inbreeding chocobos to get better ones, but for christ's sake, even when you met all the requirements to get a chocobo, the results were still randomized. When i got my wonderful and black chocobos to S rank and maxed out their stats it took me over a bloody hour of resetting the game before i finally got a gold chocobo. That's no way to treat gamers.

Hot and Cold is definitely the most fun for me. Dig around looking for items, and even if you didnt get what you wanted in the time limit, you were still guaranteed things like high potions and such. Plus the music is just addictive and it's much cheaper than buying greens for your chocobo and tickets to the gold saucer. Bleh.
 
I gave up before i could get my gold chocobo, the choco breeding in FFVII was my second favourite choco sidequest. 'hot and cold' rules, and yeah, the music is great, i think its called Vamo Alla Flamenco? my favourite bit of music in FFIX:P
 
Chocobo Breeding was extremely tedious as hell. I hated it with all my being. That being said, Chocobo Hot and Cold is the best Chocobo minigame ever. No contest.
 
I kinda liked the breeding, you had to find the different nuts and stuff, although it did get tedious at times.
The best thing about the chocobos in FFVII, was that you could put one on your airship, in a little mini stable, that was cooool.
 
Meh, I’m not really too picky when it comes to Chocobos, just as long as they don’t completely remove them from FF…

Anyway, I think my ideal Chocobo side quest would a mix of VII, IX and X’s.
