Final Fantasy VIII Pocketstation
The game on the Pocketstation is known as
"Odakake Chocobo". However in the game, you play as a Cochocobo, not
Chocobo. In many screens, you'll also see a 'Cactuar', which is a character from
previous Final Fantasy games.
By downloading game data onto the Pocketstation
from a Playstation with Final Fantasy VIII, players can enjoy a Chocobo growing game. In the
game, the player gets to walk around a Cochocobo through 100 varieties of maps,
either manually with the arrow buttons, or automatically. The game has a number
of events, 3 of which have been revealed so far. Also, players with
Pocketstation can make their Cochocobos fight with each other.
Event 1 - Battle
Enemy vs. Cochocobo
The number highlighted in orange is the
character's life - left is the enemy's (16), and right is the cochocobo's (25).
The two numbers highlighted in blue are the active time meters. Each character
can attack when their meter reaches zero. In this case, the enemy has 6 seconds
left, and the chocobo is currently attacking, inflicting 9 damage. By gaining
levels, Cochocobo's hit point will increase. Also, by winning battles, some
positive effect occurs upon the Cochocobo, but it has not been revealed as of
yet.
Event 2 - Item
Sabotender (Saboten Means Cactus in Japanese)
At times, the Cochocobo will meet with a
Sabotender. By meeting the Sabotender, the player can recieve a gift. However,
what the gift is cannot be seen until the player puts the Pocketstation into the
Playstation and returns the Cochocobo in the Final Fantasy VIII game.
Event 3 - Mumba
Status Window. Top: AP - Bottom: ID#
In the beginning, the Cochocobo has only one
attack point. However, if an event happens, and the Cochocobo meets with a
Mumba, tha attack points will increase. It has not yet been revealed what the
ID# at the bottom is for. |
