No? Can’t even meet me halfway on this? Fine.Īt the most fundamental level, the entire point of having chocobos is to present the player some way of traversing the world map quickly without having to worry about random encounters. Just… have a forest tile somewhere in the world lead to a chocobo farm where I can see them. They wouldn’t have had to do much, you know? I don’t need to ride one, man. We can, however, fault the various remakes for not adding them in retroactively.
The lack of chocobos in FF1 is a profound disappointment, but you can’t really blame the game for it chocobos hadn’t been invented yet. Instead of being adorable and letting you ride them around, they turn you to stone and generally just suck out loud. I believe cockatrices are the only birds in the entire FF1 world, which makes them the closest thing to chocobos you’ll find. The little bird in that image is a cockatrice, not a chocobo. There are no chocobos in the first Final Fantasy. I’ve presented links to many of these wonderful ditties as part of the exhibit. Possibly the most famous part of the chocobo mythos is the myriad of ways that timeless theme music has been remixed. I knew going into this list which showing would take the top, and which the bottom, but the middle is pretty much just a hodgepodge of adorable avian goodness. It was difficult to determine which FF game had the “best” chocobos since, obviously, every chocobo is great. (But don’t hold me to that I hear Final Fantasy XIV is going to have a pretty robust cooking system.)
Throughout the series chocobos have been ridden, bred, captured, flown, fed, chased, hunted, rented and raced - about the only thing you can’t do with one is eat it. Is there any aspect of the series more iconic, more all-encompassingly representative than its beloved mascot? The folks at the Final Fantasy Wiki don’t seem to think so they use one right there in their logo. Whoops! Somehow, I expect no one will be disappointed…)īehold the chocobo, noble steed of the Final Fantasy series. (Note: this week’s entry was going to be about music again, but it turns out I’m a liar.

Recently, Clipper has turned into another popular tool called 'Cupper'. After several updates the original Clipper tool broke and was revived by other players.
