I love the racing, what i hate is how the whole concept feels lackluster, for example:
Y isnt the chocobo square part of the main GS? im sure more ppl wud do it if it was near the TT square and mini cactpot counter
y isnt there any npcs actually watching the races at the side of the tracks?

the chocobo square is huge but completely empty, there shud be crowds of npcs, lots of chocos decerated in a full array of colours, banners hanging from the cieling, dancers in choco outfits, tv screens depicting races, perhaps even interactive statues describing legendary choco riders in history

it shud feel like an event/celebration but is actually quite baron
