    Personally, I'd like to know what's up with the title for racing a Chocobo race for the 1st time (Bug Boy/Bug Girl), my only guess is that was either a mistranslation of some kind, or possible a reference to something like a 1940's Horseracing term that was almost forgotten by most people that weren't either teaching history or history buffs of some sort, in either case, I think a title that would be more recognizable to the fans as being specifically related to either racing or chocobo's to most of the current fans and player may be a more appropriate choice.

    It's a reference to ... bug boys. It's all horse racing lingo, from "bug boy" to "the sport of kings sultans."
