[edit] Cries

In which Games did the cry change?--Slogankid1 15:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

FFI-IV-Cooc cooc; FFV-FFVIII-Wark; FFIX-current-Kewh (apparently this is the Japanese sound). Crazyswordsman 20:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Master Norg - Live 4 2Day Die 4 2Morrow TALK - {{{time}}} CSM you are the master of the chocobo and their sounds and for that I bow to you.

Netherith - UBOAR!!: TALK - 05:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC) Has anyone noticed that the Japanese translations are becoming more and more accepted nowadays and are staying in the English versions of the games. (eg. Dead or Alive started with english dubs but now has the original Jap dubs.)

Like the incident with translation of Rude or Lude and Aeris or Aerith?Kaospyri 22:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Four games per cry? Who's willing to bet that XIII will have a completely different cry? That would be hilarious! TheMasterFighter 20:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

My money's on Tweet. MasterConjurer 23:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ffxii

Ser Blue says at 08:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC) In FFXII there are enemy Red, Black, White, Green and Brown Chocobos, each with different stats. Should a page be made, like Chocobo (Final Fantasy XII) to house in all the enemy stats in one page? Or should it even be there?

Hecko Xtalk - blog - anime rants 09:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC) That's a toughy. I would probably either go with that, and make sections for each type, or split them up in like Red Chocobo (Final Fantasy XII), Blue Chocobo (Final Fantasy XII) and so on. Seeing how there are several, I would go with the latter

[edit] So let me get this straight...

In this whole article, there is not one mention of how ridiculously cute chocobos are? I mean, I know that it can easily be said that they're so cute it doesn't actually need to be stated, but still... YellowMage 12:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

That's something to do with wiki's in general, it's almost impossible to find a reliable source for a chocobo's "cuteness". (I personally don't think there cute but...) Malboro 03:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Being a wiki, it has to hold a certain degree of neutrality. While Chocobos (in some installments) are cute, it's really not something you'd put in a page. However, your userpage's fine. --Auron Kaizer 08:25, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chocobo Tales

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - Nubecielo 01:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Chocobo Tales must be moved to the non-FF games, isn't it?. I've got images from Tobal, Secret of Evermore and more games with Chocos, maybe i'll upload it tomorrow

[edit] attack of the chocobos

Seriously, they can hurt. Especially choco-meteor. Why no mention of these special attacks (kick, comet, meteor etc)?

Ser Blue says at 11:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Maybe because it is explained in its individual pages. If there isn't, we could create Battle section to list its attacks, abilities and whatnot.

[edit] Chocobo series

Ser Blue says at 10:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC) A chocobo games series article should be made.

Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 10:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC) You mean like Final Fantasy (Series)?

Ser Blue says at 10:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Something like that. Like a parent page.

[edit] Weird Thought

BlueHighwind Q? TALK - I Am Vengeance. I Am the Knight. I Am Batman! ツ: More than one Chocobo. Do you call them "Chocobo" (as in fish) or are they "Chocobos"? I always thought they were "Chocobo" because "Chocobos" sounds awful.

Chocotard - It's my party and you'll cry if I want you to. TALK - 10:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC) I believe I've heard a few characters referring to them as "chocobos". I guess they aren't of the "moose sheep fish phoenix" school of irregular verbs.

Master Conjurer : {{{1}}} The word originates in Japanese, where there is no plural form, so I always assumed it was "chocobo." Every other foreign word is done in that strain of logic.

For all we knwo it could be Chocobi! lol Kaospyri 22:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Master Conjurer : {{{1}}} I've found the official word. Square's official site for Chocobo Tales uses "Chocobos" over and over.

Henryacores - You don't need a reason to help people TALK - 02:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC) I think they're called Chocobos in FFX or X-2.

Master Conjurer : {{{1}}} Then 'twould appear to me as though the page were correct as-is.

[edit] Mmm, chocolate bird.

What's the proper way to pronounce Chocobo? I've always said it like "Chalk-a-bo", but I can't shake the feeling it's something else and I'm being ignorant for saying it that way. Dorsha 20:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

BlueHighwind Q? TALK - I Am Vengeance. I Am the Knight. I Am Batman! ツ: Final Fantasy Unlimited says it "Choke-a-Bow". That's how I always thought it was said.

Oath To Order TALK - {{{time}}} I always thought it was "Choke-Hobo" but whatever.

Yuan 翠珊A Poem for a Day — 10:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC) "The dimension of time has been shattered, we cannot love or think except in fragments of time" I've always pronounced it in accordance to the Japanese spelling, "Cho-ko-bo". Which sounds pretty stupid, now that I think about it...

16:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC) —W/B Chok-kah-boe Through it being originally pronounced by my brother/s like that. Choek-kah-boe sounds stupid to me.

I always pronounced it Choke-o-boKaospyri 22:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Late topic but I pronounce it as Choh-Koh-Boh, or in Filipino, Tso-ko-boh DB36

Master Conjurer : 02:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC) We really should deploy IPA more often. Such things wouldn't happen as much if we had /Tɕokobo/ written.

[edit] Parodies

[edit] Naruto

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - 21:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC) This is the "Chocobo" that appears in Naruto... Uhmm, I'm not sure that is a true reference to a FF Chocobo... Judge yourselves. If this bird is posted in the Chocobo's article, every giant bird in any media (comic, videogame, books, lingerie ads..) could be a Chocobo reference, isn't it?

ScatheMote

The entire parody section is pretty bad. Get rid of it that doesn't remotely look like a chocobo.

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - 22:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC)~ I'm 100% agree with you Sca

Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 22:15, 30 December 2008 (UTC) That looks nothing like a Chocobo!

Chocobos cant even fly!

Actually, in Final Fantasy IX, gold Chocobos can fly.

Master Conjurer : 04:02, 2 May 2009 (UTC) That doesn't change the fact that it looks nothing like a chocobo.

[edit] World of Warcraft

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - 22:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC) This is the "Parody" in WoW. This is much Chocobo than Naruto's

[edit] Battle for Wesnoth

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - 22:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC) And this is the "Chocobo" that can be found in the opensource game BfW

[edit] Ragnarok Online

Nubecielo - Check my FF Stuff TALK - 22:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC) The PecoPecos, another "chocobo" toucan

AndresTiger - Derp Derp Derp Derp TALK - {{{time}}} A lot of these should just be removed unless it's very obvious they're a parody (such as the ones that play on the Chocobos name). Cause most of these are people who just assume "Well they're a large bird and are in video games so they MUST be a parody."

[edit] As Monsters

BlueHighwind Q? TALK - I Am Vengeance. I Am the Knight. I Am Batman! ツ: I don't know when, but as some point these adorable birds turned into quite the recurring enemy: FFT, FFTA2, FFXII, Revenant Wings, even the random battle ones from FFVII could kill you. Should we add that little "Monsters" template at the bottom?

ScatheMote

Yes, it makes sense.

09:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC) —W/B Personally, I think its own page at "Chocobo (Enemy)", appearing as a "main" under a new section below musical themes. Although this page does cover it; it just seems this page is too long to even extract the information and for it to be easy to tell it has so many appearances.

--Kaospyri 21:16, 14 March 2009 (UTC) style="color:red;">It clearly says there avian's which means they fly avian is a bird of flight unlike the ground running chocobos</span> =>

WTF i didn't say that!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?Kaospyri 22:32, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Borny☺ Talk · Contribs · Blog 20:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC) I agree that the Chocobo (Enemy) page should be created, as well as a Chocobo (Summon) article. The page is mostly stretched with these two things (as well as mostly the reference list, which needs to be toned down).

Werefang - "You're damn right I wanted to save some naked women." TALK - 20:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)- Abyss Here is the technical answer: As Chocobo (enemy) does not function as chocobo (mount), the games themselves recognise that these are two completely separate entities and as such this wiki should treat them as such.

[edit] Trivia

Master Conjurer : {{{1}}} I'm not so sure the terror bird reference belongs. I looked at the Wikipedia page, and the "terror bird" has as much resemblance to a Chocobo as an ostrich or emu.

NinjaIzzy - When opportunity comes knocking, you better answer. Opportunity is a scary dude and if you don't let him in he might burn down your house, or steal your car. TALK - 18:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC) "Okay?".

Master Conjurer : 18:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC) It has since been removed, so you likely cannot see what I was talking about.

[edit] Dead Links

Devil Breaker - And I'm alone now, me and all I stood for. We're wandering now TALK - Eternal Conflicts never end. - All my fears turn to rage. Guys I removed some dead links from this page (Al Zahbi, Crystal Defender W3, Chocobo (Final Fantasy XI) main article, because these pages has not been made yet. Any Comments, Reactions, and Violent Reactions would be settled down calmly. Thank You.

11:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC) —W/B DON'T JUST REMOVE DEAD LINKS UNLESS YOU KNOW WE DON'T NEED THOSE PAGES.</violent reaction>

Devil Breaker - And I'm alone now, me and all I stood for. We're wandering now TALK - Eternal Conflicts never end. - All my fears turn to rage. OK, the Crystal Defenders maybe needed coz the game's page (and even the game)hasn't been released or made. But the FFXI pages (Chocobo FFXI, Al Zahbi) No one made these pages yet, even though the game's released, so some people might have expertise in these game. but no one's making these pages.

Master Conjurer : 02:44, 3 May 2009 (UTC) But you must consider that a lot of pages (FFXI especially) were getting done a little while ago and have stopped as the end of what is for most of us is a semester drew nearer. When the students have a break, trust me: plenty of pages will be created. I personally have finals this upcoming week, and I'm sure that many other students' are soon, as well.

Devil Breaker - And I'm alone now, me and all I stood for. We're wandering now TALK - Eternal Conflicts never end. - All my fears turn to rage. OK masterConjurer, I'll just wait for you guys for your sem-break. then could you fix these pages? thanks.

17:55, 3 May 2009 (UTC) —W/B The wiki doesn't work to a deadline. The wiki can create pages whenever a user wants.

[edit] "Kweh"?

Super Sword-chucks - "I'm not dead?" TALK - 02:24, 18 June, 2009 Is this link supposed to do that? I mean, Kweh links itself to... itself.

[edit] Gender

Deadlyslashsword - +It takes disaster to learn a lesson, but you're going to make it through the darkest nights+ TALK - 02:00, November 3, 2009 (UTC) - Am I too late...to be saved? In FFV, Bartz mentions that that the chocobo they come across in World 2 (supposedly Koko) cannot be ridden because she's female. 1. Why can't female chocobos be ridden? Bartz doesn't give a reason. 2. Is this rule mentioned in any other game? 3. If so, does it deserve a mention on the page?

You can ride female Chocobos on FFVII no problem. Maybe its because Koko was pregnant or something? I haven't played FFV --Sencilia 09:27, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Terderrer - Come to my hands sacred light and profane darkness! Be fused and unlock an ultimate power! TALK - 3 November 2009 {{{time}}} Maybe the gender thing came up so to be used as a plot point so you wouldn't traverse through a certain area easily. Besides the female chocobo in question (Koko) doesn't get pregnant until World 1 and World 2 fuse together into world 3 late in the game. Guess we can chalk it up the the RPG cliche of the "not geting the airship til the end of the game rule".
