Well, I remember each time I played, part of the great thing about FFVII was I wanted to get things done sooner and sooner and do better each time. I've gotten a Gold Chocobo before, but the first time was on the 3rd disc. Then I got it before Midgar. Then I breeded up to a Black Chocobo with Tifa.

That's really the only reason I want it as soon as you get the Highwind. And also it would be cool to use it on those bosses w/o cheating.

Oh wait, no. I remember another reason. I could start lvling it up ASAP. That way I'm not bored doing the hours and hours all at once on Disc 4.

Another example of this is when I got Omnislash on Disc 1 the last time I played so I could use it on Jenova Life. Wow. It added to the cough scene at the end of Disc 1 cough. You'd think Cloud would want to Omnislash automatically!

It's not like I need KoR anyway to beat the game with. But I think I need it for Ruby and Emerald. I've only managed to beat them once with lvl100 characters after like 50 tries.
