Aside from Fire for fireballs, Water drops water obstacles on the track, Doom curses one driver to crash at a set time, and MBarrier blocks one magic attack.įinally, each character has unique “super-move” abilities that are more powerful than magicite and could dramatically alter the outcome of a race.
You can power up a spell by collecting more of the same type. During Chocobo GP races, you can pick up Magic Eggs to acquire magicite - magical powers - which come in three levels of power (think Fire, Fira, Firaga).
There is also a track called Cid’s Test Track.Įach character in Chocobo GP has different rides available with different core parameters of Speed, Grip, Acceleration, and Drift. Locations include hive of scum and villainy Zozo from Final Fantasy VI, famous amusement park Gold Saucer from Final Fantasy VII, and regal Alexandria from Final Fantasy IX. Characters and locations will be revealed over time, but right now, we know about characters like Chocobo, Atla, a “Racing Hero X” Moogle, Camilla, Shirma, Ben the behemoth, Ramuh, Final Fantasy V’s Gilgamesh, and Final Fantasy IX’s Steiner and Vivi. The story premise for Chocobo GP is that Chocobo and friends enter a racing tournament where the winner gets “anything their heart desires,” and thus they race across many different places and meet many different characters along the way. Chocobo GP will share the “Moogle (Atla) and Chocobo treasure hunter” setting in common with Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon though.ĭetails on Chocobo GP story, characters, rides, track locations, magicite, and abilities One goal of the game’s development is to expand global brand awareness of “Chocobo” as an IP, since racing games have mainstream appeal, whereas a title like 2019’s Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY! does not, by Maeda’s admission.
Since the game presents a “modern” racing experience, Okayama says “ GP” was added to the title to differentiate the two racing games.
