I mean seriously, how many of you actually bothered with the chocobo treasure hunting unless you actually had to.

I can't be the only who thought that was like blitzball in FFX.

But theoretically, for those who have bothered, what did you gain from the experience?

Fun! Great rewards! Superb music! Treasure hunting! YOU'RE RIDING A MOTHERFLIPPING GIANT CHICKEN LOOKING FOR TREASURE

I play it every time. :D Sometimes I open up an old save file just to play some gorram Hot&Cold.

I found Chocobo Hot and Cold much more enjoyable than Blitzball. One of the things that kept me going was the fact that the points I won could be exchanged for items and equipment. Add in the fact that Chocobo Hot and Cold yields a lot more loot than Blitzball, and it was a no-brainer for me.

But you do realize that if you spend the exact same time leveling up as you do doing that game, it'd most likely help you more, right?

It's one of the funnest Final Fantasy side quests. It's not as rewarding as Triple Triad, but it's cuter.

Tobi likes it, too! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK3tz3zxgrs)

Your animals are disturbed. Adorable, but clearly disturbed. xD

Hot and Cold is a fun side quest. That, on it's own, is reason enough to play it. It's also the only way to get some of the best stuff in the game. There's a second reason. Either way, it's entirely optional so it seems meaningless to moan about it.

Also: Fat Chocobo.

Seconded. My favourite sidequest/mini-game in any FF game by a mile. Digging up chocographs is always great.

This!

I mostly did it for the items, though, since there are some really good ones to be found. Also, it's a pretty enjoyable mini-game if you want to kill some time.

I think you'll be surprised AK most people here loved that sidequest as so do I. The only thing that bugs me is that it'll be impossible for me to get that ultimate item for getting top score in that game. I think it's a robe, all I know is that playing Hot & Cold is the only way that you'll get it.

You mean Robe of Lords, the item that you can buy with 10,000 Chocograph points?

Is that the top prize? Then yes if so.

I get one or two Robe of Lords from Hot & Cold in most playthroughs! xD You can also steal one from Ozma and one from Quale. I think there is some other way to get one, too.

Chocobo Hot and Cold was sex and win. Get out.

Chocobo Hot and Cold is way superior to Blitzball.

Everything's superior to blitzball. It was just an example of a useless side-part of a game.

I loved Chocobo Hot and Cold, and I didn't think anyone hated it. I guess I'm wrong.

Chocobo Hot and Cold got really annoying at some points, bu that was mostly because I just really wanted to advance the story (but also really wanted to max out my found chocographs for that point). Other than that, I loved it:D

I don't get how anyone could ever have a problem with chocobo hot and cold. Through it you could get AWESOME gear while playing through the story. I had a robe of lords by disc 3 which was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! You get tons of accessories/ore, armor, Zidane's ultimate weapon, and access to mr easy kill Ozma through it. It's not complicated and requires little effort to do too so what's wrong with it?

But you do realize that if you spend the exact same time leveling up as you do doing that game, it'd most likely help you more, right?No, because you don't get stuff like the Ragnarok from fighting battles. :p

That's what I specifically love about Chocobo Hot & Cold - the kick when you dig up something extra useful.

The Robe of Lords can be stolen from Ozma, Quale and Hades. Hades can also synth it from a White Robe and a Black Robe. You also get it for delivering 12 Stellazio to Stella. It teaches Reflect-Null and Concentrate and gives you 100% immunity against Wind.
