i would suggest to add more racing tracks to the chocobo race.
and: very important: shrinking the amount of different racing classes. now we have R20, R40, R60, R80, R100, R120, R140, R160, R180, R200, R220, R240, R300.... see the problem? in the original FF7 chocobo racing we had 4 different classes: C, B, A and S. why do we now have 13? that's way too much, you can't race together with your friends because they are all in different classes, and because you can't race together people don't bother with the chocobo racing at all... even the free class doesn't have a lvl synch, i destroy all my friends with my R300 chocobo :x
