Kweh! Check out the Final Fantasy XIII Chocobos photo

This is what Chocobos look like in Final Fantasy XIII, and as you can see, they're not so cute anymore. In fact, they look somewhat ridiculous, with spiky mohawk crowns on their head and big spaniel ears. Still, they're absolutely huge, as you can see how it dwarfs the rider. Probably the biggest they've ever been, if you're keeping score at home.

In addition to the Chocobos, another summon has been revealed. This one belongs to Hope, and it's the classic Alexander. As always, Alexander takes the form of a massive castle, ensuring that every battle with him will be a well fort one. Haha, that was a funny piece of humor.

Shonen Jump magazine confirmed that a Final Fantasy XIV beta will be included with the Japanese release of XIII. No word on whether we dirty roundeyes will get a similar deal.

Well I guess there going for a realist look which of course looks dumb. Sometimes going for the real look comes out looking dumb oh well. I will still try the game.

Alexander is one of the best summons ever. It's a shame they had to attach him to some loserkid.

I say they put Alexander with Hope because nobody will want to play him.
Also, chocobo looks...weird, meh, still buying it!

A little strange looking to be sure, but I kinda like it. Definitely isn't effecting my insane demand for this game.

Alexander has always been my favorite summon, and Hope is looking like my favorite character thus far. Sweet stuff!

My first thought: What does Collette Bennett think?

My 2 cents: They would look OK except for those dangling... things.

I love that chocobo.

@Electrium Really? How do you feel to be the only person on earth who's favorite summon is Alexander?

Ifrit is the best summon. Just saying.

With every new FF game Chocobos become uglier.

Those chocobos really don't look good. The more I see of FFXIII the less I am looking forward to it. In saying that I will still buy it on release but I hope that it is actually a decent game considering nearly every Square Enix current gen games have been average.
