Plan

Description
|
Result
|
A. Gourmet Plan
|
...the chocobos can enjoy fine dining together. Good food gives the chocobos strength, and increases the chances that a male chick will be born.
|
.. increased chance the resulting chick will be male. Chocobo's strength may either start higher or increase faster.
|
B. Sports Plan
|
...the chocobos can enjoy a vigorous exercise program together. This increases the chance that a chick with high endurance will be born. Competition also raises the possibility that the male chocobo's traits will be inherited.
|
.. increased chance the resulting chick will inherit abilities from the father. Chocobo's endurance may either start higher or increase faster.
|
C. Hiking Plan
|
...the chocobos can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature together. The fresh air will have a beneficial effect on your chocobo's intelligence, and increase the chance that a female chick will be born.
|
.. increased chance the resulting chick will be female. Chocobo's intelligence may either start higher or increase faster.
|
D. Jeuno Tour Plan
|
...the chocobos will get a tour of Jeunoan streets led by yours truly. Seeing new sights will improve the chances of a highly receptive chick being born. Another of this date's features is the increased possibility that the female's traits will be inherited.
|
.. increased chance the resulting chick will inherit abilities from the mother. Chocobo's receptivity may either start higher or increase faster.

Finbarr's Ramblings about Matchmaking
The First time you speak with him:
...So, dam A's chick would inherit the sire's blue color and fancy plumage, but dam B's chick would not... But...B's chick's chick...would you call it B's grandchick? Anyway, the grandchick might just inherit the blue color? Man... All this pedigree stuff is so complicated. My boss is entrusting me with all the chocobo matchmaking work, so I'm trying to study about inherited traits as much as I can each day. But I think that there's so much more to this work than worrying about pedigree all the time. For example...the chocobos' compatibility and the timing play a part, too... There's so much to it, it's amazing! Actually... That's just what my boss told me. Anyway, I'm busy thinking of date plans for the chocobos to get to know each other better. Brilliant idea, huh? I spent so much time observing people dating, my plans should be failproof! I'm selling tickets for my date plans. If you want one, just let me know.
