Chocobo raising preview!

[Tam_Hawkins]

Hmm...so raising is nothing like FFVII/FFIX/FFXI, just something to help increase their level?

I do not know what raising was in These games but if you talk about breeding: they said that would be part of a later patch (an upgrade to the stables)

Basically, with the exception of IX (it was a tad different) you raised Chocobos for breeding (eventually a golden chocobo in VII) and could raise certain chocobos for the racing, so you ended up focusing on the chocobo's stats. In FFIX your eventual goal was for raising for Hot&Cold/Treasure Hunting and to reach the Sky Garden to fight an optional super boss.

You also gained various colors through raising, which iirc they stated you can simply dye your chocobo in this game.

Breeding come with golden saucer update
