Learn how to get a Chocobo in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Corel Region. Discover renting options, the Rent-a-Bird Membership, and its benefits for exploration and side quests.
Alright, so you've finally made it through a good chunk of the story in Chapter 4 and are ready to explore the Corel region in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. You'll notice it's split by a river – a lush, tropical area on one side and the desert around the Gold Saucer on the other. Unfortunately, you can't just swim or wade across because those branches in the water are too much for Cloud and the gang.
You might think, 'Okay, I just need to wrangle a Chocobo here!' But here's the catch: there's no Chocobo Intel event in the Corel region, and the local Chocobos don't have any special abilities that would help you cross that river. So, wrangling one won't solve your access problem.
The good news is, getting a Chocobo in Corel is super easy! Once Chapter 7 kicks off and you can leave Costa del Sol, you'll find a Rent-a-Bird shop right near the exit. You can get a Rent-a-Bird Membership for just 300 gil. If you want to save some cash, you can also complete the side quest Rendezvous in Costa del Sol, and you'll get the membership for free!
Having this membership is a game-changer. You can call a Chocobo anytime you're in the Corel region, which also unlocks fast travel points at Chocobo Stops. Plus, you'll need these Chocobos for finding hidden treasures and completing those tricky Excavation Intel events. Honestly, they're way faster than hoofing it everywhere, so it's totally worth it.
