Most of my fond memories of FF involve me being really sick & for FF9 it was strep throat while watching Big Lebowski in the background. Godly feeling

I never played ff9 because I figured nothing will ever top FF6. So a few weeks ago I decided to finally try it and I'm up to disc 3. So far I like it a lot but I feel like it doesn't hold a candle to FF6. Could also be because I am 20 years older and maybe games don't have the same magic, I'm not sure.

The one thing driving me nuts is how high the enemy encounter rate is and the length of battles. I'm at the level I'm supposed to be at but I still need to use magic spells and poo poo on regular overworld enemies. I don't remember using spells on regular enemies in FFVI ever. It makes going through the map a total slog.

No I also played and beat FF4 which I thought was decent but I barely remember any of it. I got halfway through FF7 but gave up. That was when it first came out.

No joke I'm near the end of disc 3 and I haven't come across a chocobo yet

I found some little forest that looks like itsy is supposed to have chocobo in it (a guy even says there should be some at the back of the forest) but there's nothing there.

:cawg: the little moogle tells you in that conversation to go outside of the forest and use the gysahl green that he gives you on the chocobo tracks. the entire conversation was meant to be a tutorial on how to use chocobos

yeah I tried to use the gyshal greens outside the little chocobo forest and even inside it and every time I tried to use them I got the "error" sound like if you tried to use a phoenix down on someone who is alive in the status menu

I heard a rumor that you can find chocobos near chocobo tracks.

But that can't be right, can it?

Zidane leaving Chocobo's Forest and trying to use the gysahl greens to find a chocobo after being told about chocobos, then going "huh, guess they're just a myth" while Freya and Vivi ride around on a chocobo behind him, trying to get his attention.

lmao these are them?? They're half the size of loving Zidane making them 3 feet long [a tyrannosaurus rex's foot is 3.3' in length, for comparison] and I'm supposed to know a bird did that and it's not some random terrain cracking?
