Here a tip for all people they have the breeding issue with the same color/gender. I play FF7 on an emulation so its the state of the original PSX titel. I got 2 wonderful Rank A chocobos as parents and they breed a green male so i needed a blue female. The breeding issue appear on my game, no matter how many times i reload and breed, EVER single time the SAME color and gender combination appear when i try to get my second colored chocobo (for me it was a green male chocobo over and over again). I read all comments here and alot in the internet about this issue/bug. Some say complete reset the game and reload, some say you have to fight random battles on different locations but nothing did work for me to change the RNG for breeding, until i found out something that did work for me. On an Emulation i have the opportunity to quicksave and speed up the game so i try MANY different things for houres until i figured out this simple solution: The RNG changes everytime when you enter and leave the building where the chocobos are in (lets call it stable)! I will try to make it clear. Normaly you whould load the game, enter the stable and start breeding but for me i ever got the same outcome. So i did enter the stable, leave the stable and enter the stable again and then breed (dont need to go to world map, the screen outside the stable work too) and i got another chocobo as my cursed green male. But when i did exact the same again, i will ever get the same chocobo again. So you need to raise the times you leave and enter the stable everytime by 1. Example: Load your game, enter 2 times the stable, breed. If you not get the the chocobe you want then Load your game, enter 3 times the stable, breed. If you not get the the chocobe you want then Load your game, enter 4 times the stable, breed. If you not get the the chocobe you want then Load your game, enter 5 times the stable, breed. If you not get the the chocobe you want then Load your game, enter 6 times the stable, breed. If you not get the the chocobe you want then ................reapeat this process until you get the color/gender you want. It can takes a time (for me around 15 trys). It can happen that you get sometimes the same chocobos again because its total random but the RNG changes! This was the only solution that worked for me so i hope i can help you with that information. :)

Tried this on my PS1 version of FF7 and it worked a treat! Took me about 90mins. I was lucky and got all the correct encounters to catch the right Chocobos, I also got lucky with the breeding and bred the correct gender and colour nearly every try! Thanks for showing us the easy way!

this game was such a big part of my childhood and millions of others. I remember the hardest part for me was getting a wonderful most was all bad ones and had to do it over and over.

oh yeah im gonna try this now cause im playing the OG FF7 because of this quarantine season

Dude. This is so awesome. I broke out FFVII for the first time in about 19 years here and decided, just as I got Cloud out of his coma, to refresh myself on chocobo breeding and racing (don't want to wait until level 80 to get Knights of Round). I already gave you a thumbs up, but if this works, I'm gonna continue singing your praises. Cheers, man.

Hey found your twitch channel couple of days back. And I just got to say that these videos and the streams are made for me. I frikin love rpg games.

Jesus christ now i know what my dad been through when playing ff7

While trying to do this, I got a female and male great chocobo (In that order) first try, and when trying to go to the gold saucer I got a little to close to Ruby weapon, and had to reset back to the last save point, which was putting the second great chocobo in the stable and had to reset about 50 times to get another male

Things not covered in the video; 1) the first 2 chocobos captured need to be accompanied by the Spiral enemy; does it matter if there is 1 or 2 Spirals? 2) Do you need to win all of the races in a row? Or is it OK to lose? 3) Automatic or manual? 4) Is it OK to feed the Wonderful chocobo to make winning the races easier?

Great video - was concise and gave detailed explanations of each step, thanks for preparing this. Seems a lot more obtainable to get when you see an 8 minute video as opposed to some of the 25 minute ones.

This actually worked. Exactly the way he mapped it out. Holy cow.....Thank you ;_; THANK YOU!!! I'll admit I was skeptical at first, but once I was able to mate my first blue Chocobo I had a good feeling. Good on ya mate.

Can absolutely do this as soon as you get the highwind on disk 2. Also with slight RNG manipulation there's no need to race.

Dude, seriously, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!! I did exactly what you did, I just got my Knights of the Round. I never thought I would ever get a Golden Chocobo. People, this DOES work!!! Maybe not 90min, but definitely no more than 2 and half hours.

Such a time saver. Gotta admit though, after grinding for S rank on all my chocobos as a teen, I truly appreciated the Golden Chocobo!

LOVE to see something on the you tube space again :) You been missed here a great great deal :). Hope later this week to be able to catch a bit of your streams again.

Thanks so much man! Just started my first play through and was wondering how tedious the process would be, but I got it down in just two hours 🙏🏽

I could not win a single race with my wonderful chocobo after easily winning 9 in a row with the black one. I recommend using some extra greens on your wonderful before going back to the golden saucer so you don't have to make an extra trip like me.

Great guide just one mistake, you don't need disk 3, this can be done in disk 2 the moment Cloud re-joins the party as that is when Chocobo races unlock, ranch stable purchases are available from the point you control Tifa or Cid.

Dont you need to feed the wonderful chocobo greens too, I cant win any races with it at base stats?

After 75+ resets I'm still struggling to get a blue one. Reading comments gives me hope but geez... I'm 90 minutes into resetting here soon.

Followed this and got every single breed precisely what I needed first try, legendary.

damn man, thank you. all ive been able to get so far is a green, so im resorting to a guide. I did this as a kid back on the PS1, but hell if I can remember lmao

just noticed this was posted on my birthday a couple years ago XD its like a bday gift i never knew about

I did this 20+ years ago. Had so much time even for days of grinding. Id never do this today, not even for "just" 90m. Times have changed, id rather watch videos of other people doing it hahaha

Took longer than 90min but this definitely helped alot !

Currently stuck on step 3 where I can’t get my fourth win no matter how many times I try :/

Ty. Got my gold chocobo in TWO HOURS! The first time I played FFVII when I was a wee lad, it took me a week to get a gold chocobo! Thank you again!

Getting cid to race instead of cloud makes it alot easier

Great info thanks, just started another playthrough on switch

Thank you man! I just got my gold in about 2hours! You are the man. Liked and subscribed!

You have to select black first and then the wonderful second when you breed them, its bugged for some reason.

nice one mate! took me a bit linger than 90 mins cos was having a hard time getting the wonderful as kept getting unrecommended ones but once I fathomed it only took 2 hours ish. was using ps1 emulator with turbo button, was only way I did it so fast, blitzed thru the races and battles

I’m pretty sure the black chocobos will be canceled soon

It's worked for me..thanks dude for your guidelines..much lifesaver after week trying to get c.gold..

Eddie halls need brother Btw 8D Thanks for video dEwd.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This video was incredibly helpful!! It worked! Legend!!

Fun fact... Tried the bullshit "trick" with a great and wonderful for a good 20-30 times last night...*NOT ONE WORKED!* this method of racing two greats 4 times worked FIRST TIME! not even kidding, it got me angry last night so I just quit and decided sleep on it... Glad I have and already won 3 with a wonderful so I'm not gonna release that one, in fact it was the only one of last night's attempts I've kept (besides the female great but I thought it would be important to keep just in case) and when returning to it today... Just now actually I got a male great from what I had left... And used about half sylkis on each great, female great finished with everyone only half way on short, male was about 3.5/6 for the short so that was easy... Now to get more sylkis and go through getting green female... Ah thank you for this simple method that works compared to that fake trick I've tried numerous times

You earned a sub with this one

I just wanted to let you know that I watched this video. Thanks for the tutorial

Thank you so much!!! I got a gold chocobo on my 1st run without having to load game

my god this sounds insane, almost like some kind of an april fools joke! games back in the day truly were something else

I see it... I still don't believe it...

I expected to see the RNG no-race methods. That's significantly faster 😄

Omg it genuinely worked. Good job man earned yourself a sub :)

First try I got a Green Male. So now I'm looking for a Blue Female. After 10x I still keep getting the exact same Green Female. They fixed this maybe? Going on attempt #11

Would hate it if it took that long to get a Gold Chocobo in the remake future parts.

"4 races in total" ... ... 2 minutes later ... "run another 9 races" Nice one

Took me about 2 hours but omg thank you so much bc of this I was finally able to get knotr, I subbed and liked you deserve it thanks

DUDE, thank you so much for this! Playing the original game for the first time right now and I have about an hour left until the final boss, but wanted to get a gold chocobo before it. It took me an hour, but i just got it and I can’t thank you enough!

dude winning just 4 races is hard asf my chocobo doesnt listen to me at all and they are the lucky ones its makin me mad asl

spent 36 minutes wondering why i cant win races, and didnt know you can feed em to increase their stats

Ah yes, chocobo incest to get a gold chocobo.

Took me 3 hours... Im grateful 🔥🔥

This video is most excellent. I got a Gold Chovobo using this. Amazing!

Waiting to get my highwind so I can get this gold chocobo.

I have a blue female and I keep getting green female over and over again. I wasn’t clear on if you had to win 4 with each or with just 1 so I ended up winning 4 and 2 with the other great chocobo. I’m gonna redo the whole thing and just win 4 and try again. I’ve been resetting, battling more and trying everything but I guess the rng is not on my side. Also can I do this on disk 2? I have cloud back after mideel but I just realized you said after disk 3 in the beginning of the video.

This is amazing but.. why the constant saving? Is it just to make sure you get the right Chocobo?

How the fuck were we supposed to know this 23 years ago with no fucking internet?!?!?!?

I Restart 10000 Times but every time The chocobo is female....

And yet I never did that I always spent 4 to 8 hours trying to get a gold chocobo

Awesome video Tyrion! love your channel!!

The only problem I see here is that the more you win races, the higher your rank gets and more difficult to win when you step on Rank A.

I did everything but at the end don't breed a gold chocobo. Any suggestions ?

Just did this. Works perfect.

You madman it actually worked... 💪

Thanks a lot man. This makes things sooo much easier. Cheers!

i named him Rolex thanks dude save a bunch of time

I can’t seem to get my green chocobo to win past 6 races (he’s in A rank now) and he won’t go past that

Guy with a black chocobo keeps beating me even though I maxed my green 1

Is the last breeding step RNG for the Gold? Because my first time breeding did not give me a Gold.

Thanks, your video help me getting gold chocobo. I knew theres another way, but at least I got a lot of items from chocobo race...😁

Have a question. By win number three the chocobo advances to B rank. This has made it much more difficult to attain the fourth win. I’m on switch and the stamina trick doesn’t seem to work on auto controls. Anyone in the same boat? One last thing... is it four wins for both male and female chocobo meaning 8 wins total? Thanks in advance! Edit: never mind its four TOTAL as described in video.

Stuck on step 7 I keep getting green females and when I get male it's blue instead of green.. I also did 10 battles to see if it'll fix it but it didn't.

I try bringing my blue and green Chocobo’s but I keep getting blue ones does losing the Chocobo race breaks their chances of breeding a black Chocobo?

My wife is playing for the first time and she is stuck on step 7. She keeps getting green chocobos when she needs a blue female.

Why not just do it on disc 2 as tifa or cid as leader, then catch chocobo like you did. Save outside farm load enter move your chocobo into stalls exit amd load then feed 1 kraka green mate female first then wonderful you should get river asap. Work same as your method

THANK YOU, PLAYING ON THE STEAM ENHANCED VERSION WORKED! 100% 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Dude you're awesome!!!!!! This totally works without that grind!!

I need help. I just fed slkyis greens to both my black and wonderful Chocobo to the max and raced them both to S rank. I try to breed them with the Zeio nut and i dont get a Golden Chocobo. Can someone explain. Do I just have to keep restarting my save and breeding them?

Finally did it you are awesome dude!

I have a green female class A and blue male class C. I can't get them to breed a black chocobo. Green or blue are the ones that come out. Help?

Legendary! Thank you! 🙏 🥳

You don’t wanna know how much pain I’m going through to get the male blue chocobo for my green female.

I just tried this and it worked perfectly, thks man

Great video but Instead of buying 30 sylkis greens you can buy 1 and do the w_item glitch

Hope I'll make good use of the guide.

In stuck in 1:58 how do I bring big-bird to the farm????????

Hey, thanks for the guide! I have a doubt: on step 4 you say we have to win 4 races between the two chocobos. I don't understand if we have to win 4 races (like 2 with male and 2 with female), then feed the best chocobo, and then win another 4 races with the best chocobo, or if I can just win 4 races with the best after feeding him and don't even run with the crappy one.

Or you can beat ruby weapon get desert rose and trade it for a golden chocobo

This is like the best video on the internet

Dude this is epic! Thanks for the info.

I used this method and it worked! sadly i didn't save, got a game over right after, and had to redo everything XD

I keep getting green chocobo's after I already got the first green one

Everything has worked but I can’t change the gender of my wonderful chocobo no matter how many times I load my old save

Can you please make a video where you do it start to finish unedited that would help a lot!!! :)

i had great and wonderful at S class mated with a Carob nut and just got a normal yellow chocobo, does this happen sometimes? or is a green or blue supposed to be guaranteed

Does it need to be the original two?

Is it normal that Im stuck in step 3 because I keep getting female choco but I need a male, im going on 15 resets but i keep getting female choco

You can get one much sooner than that!

Thank you dude, you helped me a lot !
