So, as soon as I saw the new Chocobo GP announcement trailer, my immediate thought was "We gotta get some kind of cross-promo event in FFXIV!" It would be fun to get a chocobo racing themed event with some minions, a new mount (or maybe just rollerblades for our own chocobo?) and hopefully some sort of new content for chocobo racing (a new track, maybe?). I'm probably setting my sights too high on this one, but I think it would be neat!

I wouldn't mind costumes in game kind of like PSO2's rappy costumes that basically turn the character into a rappy. Except in the case of this game I'd want them to be job costumes that make you look like the cartoon like chocobo from chocobo's mystery dungeon that Alpha was based on. I recall the Chocobo racing game they did back on PS1 used that same cartoon art style.

This reveal on the Nintendo Direct was the last thing I expected to see. Think my exact thoughts were "no way, they didn't..." I'm so happy to have Chocobo Racing back. I loved the heck out of that game on the PS1. So yeah, count me in for a crossover event.

Two words:
Rollerblade Mount.
Let me live the dream of playing Disney Channel Original Movie Brink in FFXIV. -

I want Godbert Manderville to be a racer, carrying around a wheel while running just to qualify.
But I suppose the character would be entirely lost on people who haven't played FF 14... -

To be fair. I still enjoy Mario Kart. I just feel like they need to add new tracks to play on.
I enjoyed Chocobo Racing back on PS1. The only other Mario Kart style racing game I recall enjoying was Mod Nation Racers on PSP. -
09-25-2021, 12:35 PMFyrebrandHa ha, that would be hilarious. Everybody else is squatty chibi characters, meanwhile he's just towering over them. No explanation.Quote:

Considering the original Chocobo Racing on the PS1 was never a very popular title back in it's heyday - reviews at the time were generally mixed to negative considering it a poor cart-racer and trying to ride Mario Kart's coattails - SE did have planned to release a sequel back on the 3DS a few years ago only to scrap the project, so this has taken me completely by surprise, as I loved the original, as horribly flawed as it was (Bahamut's Megaflare attack was just too OP once you unlocked it, and the graphics often did some very bad things re texture tearing and glitches at times).
But it also gave players a sneak peak of the then in development FFVIII (Deling City was a secret track, and Squall a secret racer, driving the blue convertiable he briefly steals during the assassination mission), and the other secret characters were also fun - even Aya Brea's NYPD squad car from Parasite Eve was a racer! So this has me intriguied (although why does White Mage have a car, she flew on a magic carpet in the original. :P).
As for a special crossover event with FFXIV, one would be fun to have, but I don't see SE bothering, as they haven't done events for any crossover events for any other spinoff title (for instance, Dissidia NT never got a crossover event, and that has Y'shtola and Zenos as playable characters and the Praetorium as a battleground!) - and besides, we're still waiting on a FFVII crossover which was long rumoured, and yet nothing came of that either. It's just not likely I'm sorry to say. :( -
