For most North American and European players, the PC version of the game was the only means of playing Chocobo World, as the game was originally designed to be played via the PocketStation, a handheld console never released outside Japan.
Pre väčšinu severoamerických a európskych hráčov znamenala PC verzia iba hranie Chocobo World, aj keď hra bola pôvodne navrhnutá pre PocketStation, vreckovú konzolu, ktorá nikdy nebola distribuovaná mimo Japonska.
