Final Fantasy VIII - Chocobos
When you enter a Chocobo Forest for your first time, you meet a boy who goes by the name of Chocoboy. He acts as a guide and gives you some help and advice, for Gil of course! He also offers you a ChocoWhis, for 1000Gil and he will tell you how to use it. It is essential that you get the ChocoWhis, as you can only catch Chocobos with this item since the ChocoWhis locates Chicobos. The ChocoWhis has two modes, a ChocoSonar and ChocoZiner. The Sonar locates the Chicobos, and will send out a ping noise depending on how close you are to a Chicobo. If you're standing where the Chicobo is, it will be a loud and fast ping and now is the time to use your ChocoZiner. Once you use that, the Chicobo will fall down to the ground. However, that's betting on you being in the exact location. If you're not exactly where a chicobo is, then it will steal your ChocoWhis and you will need to buy another one from the Chocoboy for 700 Gil.| Chocoboy Option | Cost | Description |
