10 Reasons why chocobo breeding frustrates the crap out of you....

1)It costs a fortune. I think I usually blow about 3 million gil in order to get one of those damn gold chocobos

2)It takes Feckin ages. Only recently did I discover you can fund your greens by selling mastered 'All' materia for 1.4 million gil. Before that I used to wander around the Mideel area for hours on end earning minimum wage.

3)"You shouldn't breed those who just mated or were just born", or whatever. That means another delay to number 2.

4)Teioh practically never loses, so if you come up against him in the B rank you can literally scrub the next 2 minutes off your life as a being a total waste of time

5)Some chocobos are naturally just very bad runners. I had a Black chocobo with a speed of 158 and a stamina of 999. He was so lumbersome though I barely managed to scrape him through to the A rank. Compare this to my Gold chocobo, who was only 129 and 999, yet could win most races running backwards

6)The navigational system on Chocobo Bill's farm is even slower than Cloud's ability to cotton on to the idea there are good looking women in his life who want to go to bed with him. See how long it takes to purchase 99 Tantal greens and then feed them to one of your prize beasts....

"Are you sure you want to feed it to this one?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you really sure"
"Ok"
*ching* X 99

7)Not only does the Chocobo Sage have the memory of a dyslexic goldfish, but he's almost always behind the point you're at in the breeding process. If you've just figured out how to breed a green chocobo, the 'Sage' will explain once again how to do what you've just done. He does the same thing when you've ALREADY got the black chocobo.

8)I was recently in the position of wanting to breed a Green male so that he might mate my already born Blue Female. For some reason though, I managed to deliver eight green females in a row before I finally delivered the right kind. ZZZ

9)Try taking four chocobos out of the snow caps and over to Bill's farm. Chances are you'll get three dufus one and one 'wonderful' one that isn't the right sex for your black one. And that means you've got to make another round trip.

10)Try winning a C class race with a well bred chocobo. You've already done it? Good. Now sit back and wait on your tod for half an hour whilst all the other racers join you at the finishing line. You see, until they do, you can't get on with the next race.
