Square-Enix's recent updates to their website prove that Chocobo games are indeed aimed at kids, which points out that I am clearly perfectly happy being a thirty year old kid. They are offering an arts and crafts contest to celebrate the upcoming release of Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon: The Labyrinth of Lost Time.
Per the contest page, you can participate in a coloring contest or make a freestyle creation (ahem, Virtualgirl, enter this contest) such as the Chocobo bento bowl pictured. I hope the latter option does not yield any ill porn. The coloring contest option offers multiple pictures for download, and if you think I haven't already printed one for my own coloring pleasure later today, you're dead wrong.
There are also two new commercials on the site, although one is merely a shortened version of the other. Last but not least, if you are lucky enough to live in Japan you can check out the launch event this Thursday, which takes place in Shinjuku's East side Sakuraya hobby center. Square will be giving away a 2,000 piece limited edition Chocobo soundtrack to attendees of the event. I am now experiencing jealousy.
This is Colette Bennett, offical Chocobo correspodent, signing out and also admitting I'm not too proud to whip out my crayons for the sake of a choco.

Now I wanna live in Japan again....
*and too much Chocobo? nah.
the one on the right anyway
I've printed them, but I won't use crayons,finger painting FTW!!
Also, wark!
I can work my tongue faster than I can work my thumbs on a 360 controller and lets just say I can game for hours at a time ;)
Colette's eyes are AMAZING...
Dude Jack, I'm only 30. That comment hurt.... ;__;
Oh, and with respect to being a 30-year-old kid, I have you beat by 7 years and I'll always be a kid. I have no choice but to grow old, but I'll be damned before I grow up!
I was just joking. I thought it would make you laugh lol
Boy, kids these days... ;)
At least im bold lol.
Hey, Collette, if it makes you feel any better I was playing the Arati 2600 when it *first came out* (and you were still in newborn diapers, if you were born at all). I'm still burning up more gaming hours than I should be on the PC, the Wii, and Virtual Console.
Remember what I said about growing old but not growing up. ;)
I think I saw that by the Vii in Circuit Buy.
I can stop by on Friday an tape the whole thing.
Atheistium, I want you inside me.
You just know that some of the entries into this competition are going to be epic.
Your gaze is stunning, though. It's like you're piercing into my soul....
...
....
<_< actually, you should do this as frequently as possible
>_>
You have a youthful energy burning in those exotic green eyes....
Uh anyway, Chocobos are freaking awesome!
