Chocobo racing, does everything cheat in this game?

Your chocobo's personality is based on their highest stat, nothing more. Their personality changes if you increase a different stat and suddenly change.

When swapping from Discernment training to Strength training after learning abilities, my bird went from patient to aggressive.

Afaik, the strength training is simply stronger than endurance training and has more notable effects.

My chocobo has a 'patient personality which makes it ideal for carrying goods' as per the NPC's words, out of all 6 of my birds i have never had an aggressive bird, the raising guide on wiki says it is dependant on the highest stat when the choco hits adulthood, since mine was end that makes sense. They have always been easy going, and my chocobo was sick when i had it do the training (chocobuck) so i don't think he was in a very 'positive' or focused mood lol, this bird has needed more medicine then my other ones i swear ><. And i believe this chocobo's end has gone up so quickly because both it's parents were first-class str/end and i used a care plan that said 'increases chances of inheriting the father's traits', father had canter and gallop, chick inherited gallop, there is some speculation that if the chick inherits 'enhanced' str/end/recept/discern that it's stats don't start any higher, they just go up faster, this chick seems to support this idea. All of my chocos (except for the first 2 epic fail birds which i no longer have) have first-class str/end, but the current bird is almost there before day 40, and that's really the fastest one has ever gone up, usually takes me about 46 days.

I don't believe the strength training in itself has any stronger effects on the bird than any other training would have. I just think (see:think) that your chocobo's personality describes which type of care plan/direct care it will enjoy most and (MAYBE) benefit more from.

An aggressive chocobo would certainly enjoy racing/competing and pushing its strength more than an easy-going chocobo XD And a patient chocobo would enjoy tests of its endurance much more than a sensitive bird who enjoys socializing with people and other chocobos.

No facts there, just my thoughts.

My birds have supported this idea as well, as my two "brainy" birds produced a chick that gained Discernment at a higher rate than Receptivity. If you look at my chart here you'll see what I mean XD

my chick's endurance hit substandard at day 7 i think it was, it was really quick, as of 11:00 am mst on july 13 chocobo day 40, str first-class, end outstanding discern poor recept poor (i haven't started the mental stuff until i get str/end first class, then i'm chocotrain the crap outta it) this leaves me with 80~ days to get the bird up to average or better discernment and what ever i can get it up to on receptivity witch chocbobucks. I forget what i broke the sections down to but i think it was if i leave the bird at just barely SS str/end i can get average discernment and substandar receptivity which seems ideal. Or i can go for SS str/end and then better then average discernment but that leaves no room for recptivity this is according to the chocobo raising guides 'point system', using the lowest values for each stat. We'll just have to see when we get there i suppose. i also don't plan on putting this bird on any intelligence plans for the sake of keeping everything as high as possible, so i will probably be putting a lot of gil into the final push to get at least it's discernment up through chocobucks. I plan to attempt some testing of how much each chocotrain does in regards to lvling the choco's attributes, it'll be interesting at any rate. ^^
