Chocobo (Final Fantasy XV)



Chocobos are large avian in the world of Final Fantasy XV. A recurring Final Fantasy series mascot, chocobos can be rented out to be used as steeds to travel the world. Wild varieties also exist.

Profile
Tame chocobos are yellow whereas the chocobos encountered in the wild are black. Chocobos appear in the Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae demo, but cannot be used as steeds: they reside at Wiz Chocobo Post, and black wild chocobos can be seen playing in the woods, but the player cannot interact with them. In the final game, the player may be able to catch wild chocobos for riding, but the developers have not committed whether to add this feature yet or not.

Gameplay
Chocobos will be fast to help players travel through the game's vast areas. They can't fly, but can jump high, glide and dash, and there will be areas where the player needs to use a chocobo instead of the car.

Battles can start even while riding on a chocobo, but the party won't fight while mounted on them. If the chocobo does not want to fight it will run away. The chocobo's stamina depends on the things it is fed, good food allowing them to avoid enemies, while bad food may leave them with weak willpower and running into an enemy may have the chocobo run away leaving the party to fend for themselves.

Chocobos can be rented in gil for up to 30 days, and called at any time by a whistle. While riding chocobos, the players can press the jump button again to glide. When players dismount a chocobo, it will follow party for a while. The player cannot raise or breed chocobos. Chocobos can be taken to camp where they receive buffs. Dashing on a chocobo is said to feature a different music track.

Trivia

 * The party's car, Regalia, has chocobo talons on the hubcaps.
