So i read about chocobo breeding and racing. they say you need gold chocobo or other colored chocobo to get to the materia caves and other areas only accessed by such giant bird.

i have read a bit about it on gamefaqs,

how much of a hassle is it? how long could it take to get a gold chocobo if you use in game hours to determine how long it would take?

tell me everything that you know!
