where do i buy a chocobo??

Did you really cross the swamp without a Chocobo? The Midgar Zolom is really tough, so that's quite a shock. Must've taken a lot of leveling up.

I did too. Yeah he was tough, but there is three different ways to get across the swamp.

1. Get a chocobo
2. Walk across it and fight him ( good luck)
3. CHEAT!! Here is how. While you are walking across the swamp, keep a close eye on him, and right before he get to you and touches you, hit the triangle button and save the game. After the game saves, reset your console and you will still be on the swamp, but the Midgar Zolom will be somewhere else swimming which can give you enough time to finish crossing the swamp.
