re: Do you think you could have figured out FF7's golden chocobo without a guide?

Side note: no way in hell does someone figure out how to get the KotRT materia without a guide.

This was my first version of this post, then I realized that people would absolutely fly all over the map and deduce they needed to get in that cave if they had the means to traverse mountains and water. But you'd never figure out gold chocobo on your own.

Just like figuring out Underwater materia for Emerald Weapon to get the Earth Harp to trade for master materia would also be impossible. Who would think to morph one random enemy for an item you can trade.
