Run Chocobo World in the background while playing for the best experience.
Life would be great if we could plug a PocketStation in and level up Chocobo World on the go. Hell, life would be great if we could even get hold of a PocketStation. But until the day Square (or some smart hacker) creates a version of Chocobo World for Android that seamlessly integrates with your PC game, the only way we can play this is by looking at pixels almost the size of toast on our huge screens.

I feel no shame that I leave this running in the background while I play. It actually gives an experience similar to Angelo in that it levels up while you play, giving you something much closer to a "vanilla" experience where you'd only really play it on the go away from your computer anyway.

Keep it running in the background, then whenever you go to save go into Chocobo world and quickly transfer it hom and back to receive your updated Boko data and rewards. The only bugs to this method are you will keep receiving copies of the same items Chicobo has collected throughout that playthrough every time you sync, and sometimes he can get stuck in Home as he's "already sent to Chocobo World". If this happens, simply select Do Over. Don't worry if it shows he has reset to level 1 after this, as long as Chocobo World is still running in the background his stats will return to the main game after a few minutes.

That all sounds complex but it's really not, you can just set and forget; and keep bringing him home each time you save for new goodies before returning him.

Obviously you will need to have caught your first Chocobo to activate the feature in the main game.

Best experience for me was playing chocobo world and beating it really quick while I watched twitch streams and youtube videos. I had twitch streams/videos on the right side and I played chocobo world on the left side. It made watching long playthroughs of my favourite youtubers, podcasts, streamers. and other videos more enjoyable to watch and chocobo world more enjoyable to play while I took a break from the main game to get level 100 boko.

That sounds a cool idea! It's frustrating because it was clearly designed for 5 minutes here and there, and being able to start and stop play straight away. A lot like the old tamagotchi. It wasn't made to be a primary gaming experience. That being said, I do commend them for porting it, as they could reasonably have chosen not to bother and very few people would have noticed.

Yeah I completely agree. We always wondered why Japan had Chocobo world in the original release and we didn't get it but now that we have it we see that it really wasn't something that great anyway. If it wasn't for the achievement I wouldn't have bothered playing chocobo world at all.
