Giving up on Chocobo Racing

[ForctyusGold]

The recent "Make It Rain" campaign got me excited about trying out Chocobo Racing, and for the first Rank or so it wasn't that bad. But now that I'm Rank 4 it's absolutely impossible to win races, even the ones for no rewards against the NPCs. Aside from a ridiculously high race IQ, the difference in stats is so pronounced that I have no desire to keep playing it. This needs an overhaul, badly.

you can upgrade your choco stats by feeding them . its possible at the desk where youre registering for race in Gold Saucer.

In addition to this, you can influence the cap they get on specific stats through chocobo breeding. You can also breed for different race traits or use manuals to learn a new one.

It is supposed to be a time investment to breed and get the "perfect" racing chocobo. There are a few guides available online if you want more information.

I'm still kinda new to the chccobo thing, what, exactly do you feed them?

If you're facing the race counter there's a "Tack & Feed Trader" on the left-hand side that sells the food to improve their stats.

I really wish this content was updated again; it's pretty fun despite the weird input lag.
