Ride in style by dressing up your Chocobo in Final Fantasy 7 (FF7) Rebirth with the many different sets of gear that can be found throughout the game. Players will want to collect this gear if they want to give their Chocobo flair and if they want to dominate in the Chocobo Races.
Riding Chocobo has always been a fan favorite and the Chocobo Races have gone down as one of the best minigames in the Final Fantasy franchise. FF7 Rebirth brought back those beloved races and they are better than ever. For players who want to become the best, finding the right gear is half the battle. Each set has three parts: a head piece, a breastplate, and greaves. Many of this piece can be bought with Chocobo plumes at different locations. Some are earned by progressing through the story and completing quests.
All Chocobo Gear Effects & Locations
There is at least one set that can be found in every region. Thankfully the parts are not separated, making gathering everything easy to do as long as players know where to look. Each part of a set has its own effects that will give Chocobo different boosts to help win races. Players will be able to mix and match each part as they like, giving a wider variety of choices and strategies they can choose from.
