How Chocobo Racing Works In Final Fantasy XIII-2

Recommended Videos

Chocobo racing is one of the mini-games you can play at Xanadu, the floating casino in Final Fantasy XIII-2. If you played Final Fantasy VII you have a good idea what to expect. It’s similar, but without gold chocobo breeding. First you have to pick a chocobo and race. Square Enix created five race tiers with different types of items to win, but you need to move up the ranks first. There are also secret races you can enter after clearing specific conditions.

 

You’re going to need a good chocobo to get that far and these feathered stallions have four different parameters to pay attention to. Speed measures how fast your chocobo can and your bird performs over short distances. Stamina determines how long your chocobo can last in a race and its performance for long distance running. RP or race points are used up each time you enter a race. Skills vary from chocobo to chocobo, but these abilities can give your racer an edge.

Before a race starts you can give your chocobo items and choose its position like leading the pack or staying in the middle. When the race begins you can press a button to make your chocobo dash out of the gates. In the middle of a race, you can press a button to make your chocobo dash. This makes your chocobo run faster, but drains the boost gauge.

 

The casino also has slot machines to play where you can win up to 50,000 coins if you’re lucky. Final Fantasy XIII-2 comes out in North America on January 31, 2012.
