[Request] Devs to focus on Chocobo Racing improvments.

I want it to be mario kart with chocobos. It should be a "jump in and enjoy it" type of deal, not something where you have to battle rng breeding/stats/stamina.

Hmmm, green and red turtle shells in chocobo racing? Sign me up. Plus where is the flying Chocobo races yoshi-p mention?

Dear Devs, I would like to pitch for some attention toward chocobo races. So many of us want to enjoy it, however... as we all are painfully aware of is the handling of how it works. I mean feels clunkier then an old chopped up Playstation 1 game. This one area could really improve the fun and games at Gold Saucer.

I have a fairly long design document for an iteration of chocobo racing that should have existed instead of the abomination we have.

But I'll summarize it.

It's basically Crash Team Racing & Mario Kart, but with chocobos. Imagine the way the vehicles in those games handle to get a good idea. It needs to have a sklll element (jump timing, level knowledge, sliding/boost, etc.) as well as the luck mechanic (weapons from boxes).

Let the devs make a handful of maps and build a tileset editor that allows the community to make their own maps and share them among friends. Build in fun random rewards, and let people bet on it.

Agreed. I feel like I'm shelling out more MGP to breed the perfect chocobo than I am winning MGP, which has caused me to not even bother. Especially since the minigame punishes you for breeding stats late by jacking up the prices of breeding stock.
