Whenever you dismount yourself with, the Chocobo will return return to its starting position and you will have to walk to find another one. You will also be dumped if you try running outside of Archylte Steppe or you run into one of the large roving Oretoises. When all three feathers are gone, your mount will drop you and run away. If you run into an enemy, you'll lose a feather, although they do regenerate over time. When on a Chocobo, you will see a meter on the bottom of the screen with three feathers representing the bird's morale.

You have limited options in the menu pretty much only the map and game options will be available. You can also interact with item spheres, save points and Cie'th Stones while riding. While riding a Chocobo you will be able to access otherwise unreachable places by jumping from the yellow circles found scattered around Gran the Archylte Steppe. Chocobos are marked on your map with a feather, and you simply approach them and press to ride them. The next is Mission 14, which provides the Gysahl Reins key item as a reward, letting you ride Chocobos.

3.2 Vallis Media: Yaschas Massif/Paddra Archaeopolis.

Outlined here will be explanations on the remaining optional areas and sidequests you embark upon, and strategies for getting your party to the point where they can handle what comes, as you'll be facing the hardest battles at this point. The Growth Egg, obtained from completing Mission 55, will double the CP awarded to your party, which results in 80,000 CP for each Adamantoise. There are a few spots where you can effortlessly grind for CP, but none of them can compare with the drops you'll receive from Adamantoise, namely Platinum Ingots worth 150,000 Gil apiece and Trapezohedron's, the catalyst needed to upgrade all weapons to their ultimate forms. Your priorities for post-game play are to obtain the Growth Egg and get your party to the point where they can most efficiently farm Adamantoise. Outside of the game, you may also be attempting to earn achievements or trophies, some of which can only be obtained after beating the story portion of the game.

In-game reasons for continuing to play would be to finish the Missions, complete your Crystarium, unlock other areas of the game or max out your Weapons. You can fight the end fight as many times as you want, and you can also use the warp to back to the beginning of Orphan's Cradle where you'll find warps to both Eden and Gran Pulse. After you have beaten the game storyline, watched the credits and saved, when you next restart your game you'll find yourself in the hallways of Orphan's Cradle, right before you fight the final boss.
