I totally believe the removal is due to the "no flying rule", even Shirma has to leave her carpet. There has been imbalance in the old game that the flying character escaped the Blizzard attack thanks to their flying. I find it unfair though.
6:56 - A shame Shirma doesn't have the cosmic carpet in Chocobo GP; it seemed pretty cool and distinct. The changes Chocobo GP made to Cid (being visible) and Cactuar seemed a decent improvement though. Neat video, an it also ended up showing off some of the original game's racetracks at the same time. Would be nice to see some of them return for Chocobo GP.
@@Kimberliearcher I think I vaguely recall that line; went over my head of course given I've never played the original. Thanks for pointing that out. It was quite a pleasant surprise to get a reply to this old comment.
@@grinbrothers yeah I do remember kids cursing at each other becausae Chocobo/Mog users complai that some players just choose Shirma/Croma because they fly. The original game compensate by having flying racer harder to drift. But taht's not enough because ppl need Blizzaga in order to disable them.
As much as I'm probably ruining things a year late, Vivi isn't Black Mage. The Chocobo Tales series that Racing/GP is set in has its own black mage, Croma. Unfortunately, Croma sat out of the initial line-up in GP and is instead in his Chocobo's Dungeon style. Vivi's from Final Fantasy 9.
Black mage was the only one that has been completely different and is very ugly on the new one. The rest are very good and quite nostalgic if you ask me.
I think it would be great if they made a proper sequel with like a 70/30 split between series regulars and iconic characters. So like you get on one hand chocobo, moogle, cactuar, tonberry, cid, gilgamesh, Mog, the various humanoid summons (throw garuda in there shes earned it), typhon, maybe ultima and namingway . On the other you get Vivi, Cloud, Terra, maybe Noctis since hes got a car all built in, Kefka, Squall, and Garland.
I'm so mad that they removed Bahamut as a playable character

It has lost its chocobo Racing identity, now it has become crash bandicoot racing style 99%
Super cool video!
why did they make the chocobo gp so slow, fix it.
It because 60 fps who made look slow isn't?

I completely forgot about Chocobo GP, and uh... It looks like I didnt miss much lol
A comparison between an actual good game and utter trash, nice.
For the dim ones out there that don't understand, the good one is the ps1 game, eh.
i have to agree, how can they remove PLAYABLE BAHAMUT and have the gall to say its an improvement?
