- Hear a brief report: The VCS trainer gives a full report (cutscenes are not shown).
- Skip the report: Both VCS trainer report and all accompanying cutscenes are not shown.
*Important scenes, such as when a chocobo hatches, will be shown even if a condensed update is requested.
2. Players can now feed their chocobos up to 4 items (food, medicine, etc.) at once. An update on how full the chocobo is will be given by the VCS trainer once, after the bird has eaten all the items.
