Chocobo Riding Mechanics
How To Make Chocobo Faster
- Press sprint
- Between the Chocobo's 7th and 8th step, jump and glide.
- Immediately after the Chocobo lands, press Halt (brake) to make the Chocobo slide.
- Sprint again and repeat.
Do not let go of the Trot button while doing all of the steps. This allows you to have a longer time retaining sprint speed and lets you recover some stamina while doing it.
