How it feels

A breezy, low-stakes loop of nurturing and racing a cartoonish chocobo, feeling more like gentle caretaking than intense competition.

About

A Japan-only game centering around the Chocobos. The game was inspired by the Chocobo racing minigame at the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII. The racing gameplay is similar, but has its own independent story that is not related to Final Fantasy VII. The player must train a chocobo and race against other computer controlled chocobos.
