Well it either seems like RNG or people aren't counting their fruits correctly. I've seen in the spreadsheet 3 different colors using the exact amount and type of fruit (O'Ghomoro Berry x21 making Raptor Blue, Othard Blue and Plum Purple). >__>

There's some sort of variable that isn't being accounted for, for sure. A fellow FC member had her bird change to millioncorn yellow after 3 apples. She also did note the message "new feathers begin to grow". Somebody else fed the same amount, but didn't get the message, and had no change of color. That either has something to do with possible RNG, or something is affecting it.

Thank god someone reported this. I stated this a couple of pages back, but it seems it went over many people's heads. It's gonna turn out that it's not the number of feeds, but how many times this message pops up.

I'm testing something and will find out in 30 mins or so. I fed my choco 3 pineapples and got the feather message, after 6 hours it was honey yellow so I kept feeding more pineapples (up to 23 atm) and didn't get a single feather message. I guess you would only get message in the transition of changing from one color to another, like from yellow to whatever (because we all start as desert yellow), but you might not get messages changing the different tones of the same color. I'll figure out soon if my choco changes color or not after a 2nd time feeding 20 more pineapples xD

Interesting. So after the 2nd round of feeding 20 more pineapples (without feather message) it didn't change tone/color at all and didn't even get cutscene

Royal Blue



I put him back in the stable and fed him again. 3hrs to go. For the above I fed his fat butt probably way too many berries.. 20-30, 7 pears, 7 apples all in one 6hr period.. I also had the feather msg every single time.

So I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there's a glitch. Earlier today my chocobo was colibri pink, then I put him back in stable and fed around 30 other fruit. The 6 hours finished and I didn't get a cutscene with him. Took him out and he's the exact same colour. He wasn't disturbed any time during that time. Is this a glitch or can he only change colour so much before reset? =/

Edit: But on topic though, did you receive the messege about growing new feathers during any of those 30 feedings?

I fed my bird 10 deepening green fruit, but it took til about the 6th or 7th before I got a message about feathers regrowing.

Yes. It took a few tries to get it going but after the 8th or so fruit the remaining 30ish said they were growing new feathers.

o.o Very strange then. Maybe you hit the cap for whatever fruit you were feeding him? At this point I'm just guessing.
