Does FF7 Rebirth Imply Chocobos Can Be Milked? A Kotaku Investigation
1.3.2024
There is a woman in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s opening town of Kalm that I cannot stop thinking about. She isn’t particularly special. She doesn’t sell weapons. She doesn’t have a side quest for you to undertake. You can’t even play the amazing minigame Queen’s Blood against her. She is simply...
