Chocobo GP Discussion Thread

[Champion of Hyrule]

This is a thread to discuss all things related to the new Chocobo GP game, a final fantasy racing game which was announced for switch a while ago in the nintendo direct. If you’re interested in getting the game and want to discuss potential tracks, characters or gameplay modes this is the place.

I’ll start the discussion by asking: what does everyone think about the first trailer, and what characters do people want to see in the game?

Personally I think the artstyle is actually pretty cool and it looks like it could be a really fun game, especially because of mario kart 8 feeling a little stale now. It has some pretty obscure characters as well so far.

Spoiler: Characters and tracks so far

Characters:
1. Chocobo
2. Camilla
3. Gilgamesh
4. Shirma
5. Behemoth
6. Mog
7. Dungeon Hero X
8. Ramuh
9. Fat Chocobo
10. Mecha Chocobo
11. Cid
12. Adelbert Steiner
13. Vivi

Tracks:
1. Cid’s Test Track (Chocobo Racing)
2. Zozo (Final Fantasy VI)
3. Gold Saucer (Final Fantasy VII)
4. Alexandria (Final Fantasy IX)

It has been a long while since I've last heard of Chocobo Racing which was back on the old Playstation days. But I'm really glad to see that after so many years, it finally got a new game with GP.

Anyways, I'm surprised that they added Vivi and Steiner from Final Fantasy IX and I do hope they can add some more well known Final Fantasy characters and courses.

I’m guessing the reason why they have these FF9 characters so early is because it matches the classic final fantasy aesthetic and isn’t that realistic. Although it could just be because of how much of a cult classic it is.

I do recall Chocobo Racing had Cloud Strife riding his motorbike, Squall Leonheart as well as Parasite Eve's Aya Brea in a police car were playable.

But I guess we will wait and see who else will be revealed.

Yeah we probably will get some non-classic characters eventually, I just think they're showing off all the classic characters at first.

also if aya returned in this game that would be cool

If there were any new characters that I would like to see, maybe perhaps something like a Cactuar or a Tonberry?

I hope they can bring Aya Brea and perhaps several other new characters such as Tidus (Final Fantasy X), Noctis (Final Fantasy XV), a Cactuar and a Tonberry within future passes.

Seeing the game seemingly dip itself into GAAS style battle passes and FOMO is a bit disappointing but I'm still interested in the game

You don't need to pay money anymore to unlock characters if you pay full price for the game

Honestly that Model of Cloud would be Perfect for the Overworld in a Faithfull Final Fantasy 7 Remake!

I should have said this when it was possible to unlock him, but Odin looks nice. I love Final Fantasy 13. It’s different seeing Odin’s personality in a game.
