Here's how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players will catch chocobo in the wild
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will task players with catching chocobo in real-time out in the wild.

In the original game players encountered chocobo during battles, where they needed to distract them while fighting enemies. With the open world of Rebirth, we now know it'll work a little differently.

The recent trailer also showed off the revamped chocobo racing in the Gold Saucer, which is sure to be a major distraction (for me at least).
Speaking of minigames, a fresh blog post from
