Chocobo Racing and Weather Effects

[Welsper59]

I had a Foul weather bird once, but I accidentally went through with releasing it when I tried to see what would happen if you tried to retire early lol. I can't really comment on the actual performance advantages between weather because of that. I can, however, comment on how frequent the weather benefits are for Foul vs Fair. The grand majority of my races are done with Sagolii (or whatever it's called), but the rain is ridiculously common. Heatwave is ridiculously rare by comparison. I might as well attempt to get 30 Terra cards before I ever expect to see Heatwave throughout an entire race, or even the majority of a race, unlike its counterpart (rain). In that regard, Foul weather birds certainly do have a noticeable advantage over Fair ones.

It really just comes down to frequency of the extreme weathers and their effects. Heatwave is definitely noticeable compared to rain for a Fair bird. I'm assuming it's the opposite for Foul birds with Rain being their best performance, and Heatwave being the worst.
