YMMV / Chocobo Racing

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Terra repeats her already-snicker-worthy Final Fantasy VI line to Sabin about thinking that someone was a bear, but in this context, she's saying it to Maduin instead. Keep in mind that Maduin is her father...
  • Play the Game, Skip the Story: GP is considered a serviceable Mascot Racer but its Story Mode was near universally panned for its writing, voice acting, and presentation.
  • So Okay, It's Average: Racing wasn't an awful game, but it didn't measure up to its competition beyond the novelty of the Final Fantasy skin, and the characters and their abilities were wildly unbalanced coupled with pretty dull course designs. GP is markedly better from a technical standpoint, but the balance issues remain, and the main GP mode tends to see a lot of repeating tracks due to its "nine locations with various permutations" angle.
  • Unexpected Character:
    • When Chocobo GP was initially announced, few people were expecting it to include a lot of main series Final Fantasy characters besides Cloud and Squall possibly returning from the first game. While Gilgamesh wasn't too big of a surprise, Terra, Maduin, Vivi, and Steiner certainly were.
    • One of the last characters revealed for Chocobo GP was Mecha Chocobo, a boss mirage from World of Final Fantasy. Even the other characters in the game were surprised by this and assumed someone at Square's marketing was responsible for this.
    • After the Season 1 of GP added Cloud and Squall, many weren't expecting Season 2's new characters to be Chip, a relatively minor NPC from the Chocobo's Dungeon games, or Irma's jailbird lackeys from Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
