I’ll be completely honest. Kinda flew by the seat of robes this time. Despite chocobos being a Final Fantasy staple there are very few references or direct lore about them in and out of game. So I tried to stretch what I thought were the best bits into as long of pieces as I could for this video. All the same, I hope you all enjoyed it!

Chocobos are cute. But the red one… That color frightens me.
My buddy Strider and I have Hobo'ed all across the length and breadth of the known world. And a few others. 😉
She's saved my butt more times than I can count. She's such a good bird.
…I wonder if we gould get a few into the studium next time? For study, of course.
Flashbacks to the red chocobo massacre of Stormblood So many meteors….. so many bodies………
Edit: Also that ending. I'm off to give Pekoe a treat.
I fear no man… But that turns to a red chocobo THING, it scares me
Are Galecats considered a Cloudkin?
There has been only 1 case of me killing a wild Chocobo. And that was when one attacked an AFK'd player.
The day I spotted them I SWORE to never harm a wild Choconbo.
I have 4 letter word for this video…………………………………………………………………………………..wark
I'm so glad you made a video about this! Chocobos are such an impart part of our world and content createors don't five them as much attention as they should. Love it!!!
Chik'n
Thanks for sharing; take care
Ah, by the way have you gotten your choco-glamour fixed?
Ever since I got my chocobo I did not even switch to any other mount. Me and my chicken been through it all.
Honestly game did such an amazing job making you truly care and learn about your chocobos. Usually it's just like "here you go. Mount."
"From where did the first chocobo 'Kweh'?"
…From their beak, I hope? 😮
If my memory serves me right: In the Return to Ivalice quest line there is a moment where we are shown a vision of the past warriors of light and among them is a Chocobo.
Also the body structure of a Chocobo with it's large head, heavy beak, small wings and thick muscular legs is almost identical to the Terror Birds that once roamed our world.
I can imagine a researcher managing to establish two way communication with chocobos, only to be told by one: "Oh, no, you have it backwards. You didn't 'domesticate' us. WE adopted YOU. " XD
Please dont remind us of the massacre in the fields of Bozja, that thing wasn't a red chocobo, it was a demon from the fiery pits of the deepest of the seven hells!!!
I named my friend Truffle. Love him to bits, and he loves me back, even when I put him in sparkly armor.
This video was actually really informative. I don't think most people consider chocobo lore.
Lovingly referred to as "Choco Cure" and "Choco Meteor"

Really interesting to see how fleshed out they are lore-wise; that thumbnail art is adorable too!
