Tonight at Taipei Game Show 2024, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Co-Director Motomu Toriyama and Battle Director Teruki Endo revealed a new extended look at the Chocobo Racing minigame. Fans of the original Final Fantasy VII will know that this minigame appears during the Gold Saucer visit. While Chocobo breeding isn’t going to be a thing in Rebirth, we’re sure there will be plenty of fun to be had with earning 1st place in each race.
This extended clip shows Cloud riding a Chocobo from the beginning of the race and drifting on it across the course. By fixing different Chocobo Stops around the world, you will be able to earn Golden Feathers. These can be used to purchase new abilities and equipment for your Chocobo to use during the Chocobo Racing minigame. It seems like there will be plenty of exciting ways to earn 1st place, especially with your equipment. Check out the 0:43 seconds of the remade Chocobo Racing minigame in Rebirth below:
