To obtain your Chocobo in FFXVI, you will need to have completed the main missions up through The Gathering Storm. You can check our main scenario progress in the Journal tab in the main menu. If you have not completed this main story quest, keep playing until you’ve finished it.

You’ll then be given a side quest in Marth’as Rest that has a green plus sign. Chances are this is the first time you’ve seen this icon in FFXVI. Go over to the man in Martha’s Rest and accept the quest. He will be standing next to a yellow Chocobo.
