Chocobo raising question

[Pasquale]

Hello hello.

So back when chocobo raising was the crazy new fad that had all the kids in a spin, I raised my own little bird, in the hopes of having a little fun.

It sucked. It was slow, which I guess is my fault, but whatever, I hate him. He was so slow, (how slow was he?), he was so slow, I found myself hitching rides on Galka to save time.

Slowness aside, he was yellow. All that time and he ended up yellow. I wanted to give him up for adoption. Maybe drop him off in an orphanarium.

On to the matter in hand, my chocobo raising question...

Do white-tipped tail feathers as a teen mean he's gonna grow up yellow?

My current bird, Destroyer II, just got his first white feathers, and I'm upset. Parent-who-just-found-their-kid-smoking upset. Destroyer had white-tipped feathers, and he turned out yellow.

I don't want to restart again, because I'm doing it right this time, and his STR and Endurance are improving. Please tell me he'll grow up red or blue or whatever, so I won't have to go out back and put him down, like Old Yeller. (No pun intended, no matter how horrible it was.)

Yes (letters)

I'm still waiting to get a red one. Guess my green one will have to do for now.

Unless you got your egg by breeding at least one and preferably two chocos of the desired color, the odds are *heavily* in favor of getting a yellow choco. If you want some other color, ask around and look for appropriate Chococards.

That, or get the choco to the point where it can race for chocobucks effectively, and then just dye it. Won't affect its appearance in cutscenes or anything, but when you go out riding it so that other players can see it, it'll be its dyed color.

I always loved it when you rode me. (Pun intended)
