You’ll find plenty of chocobos roaming around Orience during your travels, but if you want to make higher quality, rarer chocobos you’ll need to breed them. This section of the guide is a breakdown of what Greens and chocobos you’ll need in order to create the best, strongest, and fastest chocobos in the game.
Each chocobo has its strengths and weaknesses, but those are only relevant during the RTS missions. Chocobos will do different amounts of damage and take different amounts of damage from enemies in RTS missions. Choose the chocobo that’s right for each situation. For instance, a Fleetfoot Chocobo is perfect for traversing the world map or swiftly getting from one side of the battlefield to another, but you should reconsider if you want to try and fight enemies while riding on top of one of these birds. On the flipside, Assault Chocobos are excellent combatants and will more than gladly kick the stuffing out of enemies during an RTS mission. You’ll more than likely cycle between different chocobos, so always have a wide variety and a large supply of chocobos on hand as often as you can manage.
