Chocobo Circuit more than once a week?

[Legal Fish]

The chocobo circuit is practically dead. It was destined not to be too popular because of it being a mini-game, but what really shuns away players is the fact you can only do one race there a week. This hardly allows people to use the area for much. Is there any hope to increase this? Once a day would be perfect.

I agree. I also bought a ticket for a race, waited 5 minutes, got bored, tossed the ticket, took off.

I feel that the biggest thing preventing the Chocobo Circuit from being popular isn't the infrequency you can race at (though that's a factor) so much as the fact that you have to invest two months at least into the ability to even try, only to discover a mini-"game" that's little more than a spectator sport even when you "participate". Contrast this with Pankration, which gives you the capability to throw together a new monster in a day with far deeper customization than the drawn-out process of chocobo raising allows and lets you compete every few minutes. -- Pteryx

While you are right on some things, I think that's a bit too much to ask for. I rather ask for the small and easy things first.

The only reason it's once a week is because you actually get gil from the races. RMT prevention and such.

The problem I see with what they did is that once a week shouldn't matter because the whole thing is so freaking random, yet still set against you somehow. Every time I see a race without a PC choco, the birds are all sub-par. The second I enter my top speed bird into the race, more than half of them match my stats. Every. Damn. Time.

Once a day? I'd like it.

So they just mentioned they are lowering the minimum time, awesome.
