Which FF had best Chocobo "system"

[zbonks]

We all know that chocobos are a big part of FF, I was just wondering what FF you thought had the best system of Chocobos. Mine is 7 because they actually made it a hard sidequest and you could race them and stuff. I hated 8's because i personally thought they were piontless!

[dirkdirden]

yeah 7's owns all final fantasys in every catagory....sept graphics.

FFIX, by far. Chocobo Hot & Cold was a ridiculous fun minigame, and the method for acquiring new types of chocobo was much more interesting than that of FFVII, with its monotonous racing and random breeding. And at the end of it all, you got a flying chocobo.

I totally agree with that. FFIX has the best Chocobo minigames. I don't know how many hours I've spend searching for those damn Chocographs. ><

Don't forget FFVII's were incest Chocobos. But yes, IX by far had the best things involving Chocobo's.

[Slade]

IX's by a far. I enjoyed VIII's too even if it was pointless. I always hated VII's though.......the races were just......could you even call them races?

[Mo-Nercy]

IX. Hot and Cold FTW

[Twilight Edge]

IX.Altohough I never did it.

[Crossblades]

Have to say IX

[Markus. D]

X-2, XI and... VIII.

[Dell]

X-2 because I like amazing chocobo!
IX chocobo stuff is easy so it get my vote.

first off, its a Gold chocobo and it doesn't fly. and the breading isn't random.

I'm not going to say IX was better becuase I could never find the one that was in the ocean and all you can see is ocean thats bull /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif

Final Fantasy IX:

* find Chocobo tracks, use Gysahl Greens and KWEEEH! (no hard work there).
* different colors = new and different abilities = awesome.
* Chocobo Hot & Cold - another fun activity, other than riding over mountains.
* navigate the world of Gaia and dig for treasure (for more abilities).

7 or 9 :D

FFIX and VII weren't really enjoyable. They both had awesome incentives to breed/transform/find annoying chocographs, but were really tedious. (Even knowing what to do, it's still pretty aggravating digging for hours...just to fight a glowing multicoloured ball.)

II: Optional. Only one though...mode of transportation
III: Also optional, I believe. Minigame for going around the continent on one.
IV: Needed for part of story, different colours available.
V: Same as above.
VI: Completely optional, only a method of transportation
VII: Racing, breeding, and finding secret powerful Materia, may be used for story
VIII: Needed if you want the Ragnarok; other than that, optional
IX: 'Hot and Cold' minigame, transportation
X: Only in Calm Lands, (frustrating) minigames

I guess IX had the most use to 'em. You can't really fight Ozma without it.

[~SapphireStar~]

I'd say 7s chocobo system. It was more fun for me then the others.

[Fantasy Fan]

but IV was best story-wise I think

still, 7 and 9 had the best!

Although it's been a few yers since I last played through FFIX, there was a colour difference in the waters pictured on the Chocograph and on the overworld screen. Parts were light blue and others dark blue. I'll admit it was still a bit of a pain to find, but not nearly impossible. FFIX can't be blamed for a crappy TV/TV settings/inattention to detail.

My vote goes to FFIX as well. Unlike the chocobo breeding, I had fun with chocobo hot & cold.

Clearly ff2's chocobo system was best because it was first.

chocobo hot and cold was fun etc but those chocographs drove me nuts.
