Chocobo Racing & Weather effects unequal?

[Oriens]

Stamina loss isn't my major problem, I can manage that, its more just the absolute horrible slow down that birds get as soon as rain starts compared to no similiar slow down for foul birds in sunshine/heat.

I believe foul weather chocobos do not take any performance loss for normal weather and excel during foul weather, making it a preferred trait.

From Pedigree 2 to 6, my Chocobos were all foul weathered ones and I was wondering if everyone was exaggerating about weather effects. Now that my Pedigree 7 Chocobo's a fair-weathered bird, I can see where you guys are coming from. My Choco gets hit REALLY hard from rain. The performance drops way way more than when my foul bird got hit by sunshine/heatwaves.

No this isn't imagination. With 1280 races under my belt, I can say with certainty that foul-weathered birds are better in terms of dealing with unfavorable weather.

Yes there is a performance loss when heatwave/sun occurs. However it isn't as drastic as a fair-weather bird's rain.

Thank you for the insight! I've only have 2 foul weather chocobos out of 7 so far.

Sorry to hear you got a fair bird, but glad to get just another confirmation about how unbalanced the weather preferences are atm.
