| - Racing chocobos are bred here. The Summon Materia Choco/Mog can be obtained by talking to a bunch of chocobos in the pen outside the barn in Part 1. In Part 2, after starting the chocobo breeding sidequest, if one did not grab Choco/Mog, as soon as the player captures a chocobo it will be standing at the south end; after watching it dance it will give the Summon Materia. The Chocobo Lure, a necessary Materia for catching chocobos from the wild, can be purchased from Choco Billy for 2,000 gil. Chole, Choco Billy's sister, assists Cloud by keeping notes of what the Chocobo Sage divulges. She also gives a rough comparison of the resident chocobos' strengths. After the events at Northern Cave in Part 2, the party can return to the Chocobo Farm and rent pens in the barn to breed chocobos. A second Chocobo Lure Materia may be found near the south entrance of the farm at this point. Though the player can raise chocobos while Tifa and Cid are party leaders, the player does not regain access to the Chocobo Square, so participating with the player's chocobos in chocobo races for development is not possible. Despite this it is not strictly impossible to get a gold chocobo at this time, although one will have to manipulate the RNG to make the process quick. In the PlayStation versions, a bug causes all chocobo selection screens to be unusable for players who mapped the to Cancel.
