## [](#chocobo-gp-details)Chocobo GP details

- The game will include at least 20 characters, although it is not known how many will be available at launch.
- Players will be able to pick up and use iconic spells from the series, including Aero, Fira, Doom, and even MBarrier
- Players will be able to level up their magic, as well as use character specific abilities.
- When players use these spells, a special marker will appear above their heads, this gives nearby players a heads-up to get out of the way or counter them with a well-timed MBarrier.
- A submitted question asked Maeda about the possibility of future DLC maps and characters if Chocobo GP performs well. He stated that it was “a good question” but did not answer.
