Chocobo's Crystal Tower was a flash game developed by Square Enix. It was playable as a FaceBook app. In the game the player could raise a chocobo, battle monsters to earn gil and then customize their chocobo with unique accessories. The players were able to look after each other's chocobos and different players' chocobos could mate with each other.

Plot
Edit
An evil wizard called Evilzard had summoned the Meteor of the Apocalypse, but a brave hero managed to shatter the Meteor and save the world. The Meteor shards fell across the land, spawning an intricate network of towers and dungeons. Monsters crawled out of the towers, spreading fear everywhere. Many adventurers tried to destroy the monsters and the towers, but a black curse left by Evilzard before his death prevented them from doing so.
One day, a chocobo emerged from one of the towers, heavily wounded. It had ventured inside and vanquished the monsters within, because the tower was silent. This chocobo, Boco, was hailed as a national hero of Enisque, and since then, the kingdom of Enisque started a chocobo breeding program, sending chocobos into the tower one after another. The program was a success, and novice royal chocobo breeders have since come in droves to breed and train the chocobos to continue their quest to destroy the towers.
Elena Xequs, one of the royal chocobo breeders, trains novices in the breeding program. Shopkeepers such as Botteli sell greens to feed the chocobos.
GameplayEdit
Character growth in the game revolves around the player visiting their chocobo(s) on a regular basis and feeding them the various color Gysahl Greens in order raise their stats, and brushing their feathers in order to keep them clean. To begin raising a chocobo, the player must first place an egg into the provided nest (the player will be able to unlock more nests when they progress through the game). After a set period of time, the egg will hatch into a chocobo chick.
The player may have more than one chocobo on the farm at one time if they so choose. The player's role in the game is to ensure that a chocobo reaches adulthood so that it can be sent into one of the many towers to vanquish the monsters inside and claim whatever treasures it may find. As the chocobo grows, the player will be awarded with achievement trophies and experience points, the latter of which slowly fills up an EXP bar at the top of the screen. If the bar is filled up, the player's Breeder Rank will increase by one. Ways for the player to earn experience include brushing and feeding their chocobo, brushing and feeding other players' chocobos, placing feathers on other players' chocobos and successfully clearing towers.
In addition to these features, players may customize the farm that their chocobos live on by purchasing different objects and backgrounds from the shop using gil. From the same shop, players may also buy gysahl greens and equipment/battle gear for their chocobo(s). Each day the shop will have a new item at a reduced price on display, which can be bought once. Gil (and an assortment of gysahl greens) is awarded to the player if they log into the game on each consecutive day, in what is known as a "daily login bonus". Gil and golden feathers are also awarded when the player's Breeder Rank increases. Special items in the shop can only be purchased with "Chocopoints", which must be bought with real money.
Life SpanEdit
Each chocobo has a lifespan.
Below is the list of each stage in a chocobo's life, the length of the stage, and what is available during that time:
- Egg (Approximately 4 - 20 minutes): The chocobo is getting ready to hatch. The player cannot do anything with the chocobo at this point, apart from renaming them from the status screen. It seems you can brush the egg also but it doesn't have much effect if any.
- Chick (Approximately 24 - 60 hours): The chocobo is growing into an adult. It will need to be fed and brushed occasionally.
- Adult (Approximately 260 - 400 hours): The chocobo can be equipped, bred, and sent to towers. It will need to be fed and brushed occasionally, especially after outings.
- Senior (indefinitely — silver and gold apples can be used to temporarily revert a senior chocobo to adult status): The chocobo has lived its life and needs to be returned to the wild. It is no longer able to breed or go to towers. The player must release it on the status screen.
FeedingEdit
Throughout its lifespan, the player's chocobo(s) will require daily feeding. Each color of gysahl raises a different stat, with the exception of the yellow gysahl, which raises all stats slightly. A gysahl will add thirty points to the chocobo's hunger bar.
The list of gysahls and their effects features below:
- White gysahl: Raises experience in a random status parameter.
- Red gysahl: Raises experience in STR (strength).
- Blue gysahl: Raises experience in INT (intelligence).
- Green gysahl: Raises experience in MND (mind).
- Brown gysahl: Raises experience in AGI (agility).
- Yellow gysahl: Raises experience in all status parameters.
If a chocobo eats a gysahl corresponding to the color of its feathers, the effect of that gysahl will be multiplied. Along with gysahls, the player may also find vegetables to feed their chocobo. These will not give them as much experience as gysahls, nor will they be very filling to the chocobo, but they are reasonably cheaper than gysahls. A vegetable will add twenty points to the chocobo's hunger bar.
The list of vegetables and their effects features below:
- Turnip: Slightly raises experience in a random status parameter.
- Carrot: Slightly raises experience in STR (strength).
- Blueberry: Slightly raises experience INT (intelligence).
- Cabbage: Slightly raises experience MND (mind).
- Brown Mushroom: Slightly raises experience AGI (agility).
- Corn: Slightly raises experience all status parameters.
BreedingEdit
Adult chocobos can be bred to create eggs for the owner. Chocobos on the same ranch may not breed together. Breeding the player's chocobo has no downsides or side effects, it just gives the player another egg to hatch into a chick to expand the flock. There are two ways to breed a chocobo.
- Random Breeding: By clicking on an adult chocobo, the player can select the Random Breeding option. This will pair the chocobo with another player's chocobo. The chocobo will be unavailable for other activities for one hour. This breeding can fail, but varies in results.
- Selective Breeding: Instead of clicking on a chocobo the player owns, the player can find an adult chocobo owned by a friend instead of a random person, and click on the breeding button. One may select an amount of time for the chocobo to be away; 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. This breeding may fail, so the longer the chocobo is away, the better the chances.
When the player has a successful breeding, they will receive an egg in a free egg box. If the player does not have a free egg box, the game will not allow the player to initiate a breeding. To hatch the egg, the player must drag and drop it onto a nest. If the player has no available nests, they may buy more when they reach certain levels. The player then needs to wait for the egg to hatch.
If the player gets an egg of a certain color, it does not mean that color chocobo will hatch from it. If both parents of the egg are the same color, it is a high possibility that the offspring will also be that color. A white egg has a chance to be any color chocobo. Black chocobos and white chocobos are rare.
Lucky FeathersEdit
Lucky Feathers can be acquired from logging in daily, visiting friends' farms daily, and searching towers with one's chocobo.
The feathers can be used to expand the number of egg boxes, or how many chocobos the player's farm can hold. The player may also place up to three of them on a chocobo they do not own. Doing this is considered charitable, and can help out other players. The player cannot place feathers on their own chocobos, only on other people's (including random users). Should someone place a feather on the player's chocobo, they will need to remove them.
The chocobo will receive 15 points of Luck for every feather removed from it. The player will also receive 20 gil and 10 experience each time a feather is removed from one of their chocobos. One can remove feathers from any chocobo granted the player did not place any feathers on the chocobo.
