All Chocobo Gear in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gives chocobos perhaps their biggest role in a mainline entry ever, as you’ll be using them to traverse every region of the game. Not only do their special abilities help you navigate the world, but various pieces of gear that you can purchase for them can ensure they look good doing it. Even better, this gear aids your chocobo in races so that you stand a better chance at placing in the top spot. Here’s all of the Chocobo Gear in the game and how you can round it up.
All Chocobo Gear and how to get it
Most Chocobo Gear can be purchased at tack shops, which are primarily located around chocobo stables. As you progress through the game, new pieces of gear will become available at any tack shop, so you won’t need to backtrack to get fresh pieces. Keep in mind, however, that there are some pieces that can only be earned by competing in chocobo races at the Golden Saucer.
To purchase Chocobo Gear, you’ll need golden plumes. These are primarily earned from finding and repairing chocobo stations throughout each region, though you’ll also get one when catching new chocobos while progressing through the story.
