History
Before Final Fantasy VII
During Crisis Core, Zack Fair visited the ranch for a number of missions.
Original continuity
In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife and the party visited the chocobo farm during "Going After Sephiroth". In need
of a way to reach the mythril mines, the group turned to the farm to ride a chocobo to get past the dangerous
Midgar Zolom. After buying a Chocobo Lure Materia from Choco Billy, they caught one to cross the marsh more
easily.
Cloud and the party later returned to catch and breed chocobos. This allowed them to breed more powerful
chocobos and reach some impassable parts of the world, and to compete in chocobo races in the Chocobo
Square.
During Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, a crew member on the Shera kept a river chocobo at the farm,
having named it "Boco".
Remake continuity
In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, during chapter 2, "A New Journey Begins", Cloud Strife's group saw warning signs
directing them to Bill's ranch when finding an abandoned dock near the marshes. The signs directed them back
to Bill's ranch, where they met Billy and Chloe. Billy and Chloe were unable to rent out any chocobos to them,
but directed them to find a chocobo named Piko. Chadley also reintroduced himself to the party at the ranch.
Geography
Bill's ranch is located in the grasslands, found in the northeast area of the planet's eastern continent. It is
situated in the middle of grassland with an abundance of chocobos roaming the land nearby. The farm itself is
relatively small, with a single ranch and an outside pen.
Gameplay
Final Fantasy VII
Main article: Chocobo Farm (Final Fantasy VII field)
The Chocobo Farm can be visited on the world map after leaving Midgar, but does
not become important until the chapter "Going After Sephiroth". Here, the player
must visit the Chocobo Farm to purchase the Chocobo Lure Materia from Choco
Billy for 2,000 gil and catch a wild Chocobo, in order to ride a Chocobo to evade the
Midgar Zolom and reach Mythril Mine. Though it is possible to defeat Midgar Zolom
instead, doing so is extremely unlikely at this point in the game.

VII.
Racing Chocobos are later bred here after the events of "That Which Waits in the
Northernmost Reaches" when Meteor is summoned, with Choco Billy looking after them in the stables. Breeding
allows the player to have access to better Chocobos that can reach impassable parts of the map and reach the
Materia Caves around the map. The Summon Materia Choco/Mog can also be obtained here. Finally, Chloe,
Choco Billy's sister, assists Cloud by keeping notes of what the Chocobo Sage divulges.
Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
The Chocobo Farm appears as a location in several missions. It serves no storyline purpose.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Main articles: Bill's Ranch (VII Rebirth field) or Chocobo ranch (VII Rebirth)
Bill's Ranch is found in the grasslands region, and is located south overall on the region. Unlike Final Fantasy
VII, in which the ranch was the only chocobo farm available, Bill's ranch instead is one of many chocobo
ranches, as each region on the world has its own ranch. Bill's ranch is the only one that is required to visit in the
story.
Chocobo ranches serve as a means of fast travel, a convenient place to use benches to rest, buy items from
vending machines, upgrade folios, and to contact Chadley. Bill's ranch is the only one that is part of main
scenario quests. Outside Bill's ranch is the minigame Hustle de Chocobo.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis
The Chocobo Farm serves as the hub for Chocobo Expeditions. Bill, Billy, and Chloe operate shops and
exchanges, and some of the player's owned chocobos appear in a pen. During certain Events, especially
crossovers, additional characters will appear or special chocobos can be earned. Some Events also have scenes
taking place at the Chocobo Farm, such as A Tea Party & Festive Eggs.
Musical themes
The background music that plays in the Chocobo Farm in Final "Farm Boy" from Final Fantasy VII
Fantasy VII is "Farm Boy" (牧場の少年, Bokujō no Shōnen?), a track
0:00 / 0:29
unique to the Chocobo Farm.

Etymology
[view · edit · purge]
The name "chocobo" derives from a Japanese brand of chocolate malt ball by Morinaga,
ChocoBall (チョコボール, Chokobōru?). The mascot for this product is Kyoro-chan (キョロちゃん?), a bird who
says "kweh".
食う / くう / kuu is a rough way to say "eat", whose volitional casual form is 食え / くえ / kue ("let's scoff 'em
down!"), leading to Kweh!
