Once you’ve unlocked it, it’s not just a mode of transport either, allowing you to participate in Chocobo Racing, allowing you to customise it with new colours and medals for you and your teammates. From there, you’ll be given the Chocobo Whistle, allowing you to call a Chocobo you have rented to your location. To rent a Chocobo, go to an outpost and find the Rent-A-Bird kiosk (it’s a Chocobo on the mini-map, and a small yellow and blue terminal usually next to a diner or mechanics) and pay 50 Gil a day. For the duration of your rental, the Chocobo will be at your calling whenever you use the whistle by pressing R2 / right trigger, then using the D-pad left and right until the option appears. When it ends, you have to return to a kiosk and hand over more cash. If your allowance ends mid-ride, then the Chocobo will scarper off when you next disembark. Unlocks include mid-battle abilities through to increases in stamina bar, recovery rate, top speed and jump height. There are a total of 30 colours to unlock, and you can get more by collecting Pears - which are hidden during Chocobo Races, which you can find the locations of in our Chocobo Racing page - and from specific quests from Wiz at the Chocobo Post after you’ve taken down Deadeye:
