Final Fantasy XIV confused the shit out of me. I played it for about a month, and I’ll probably go back to it, but god damn I had no idea what I was doing. But now there is an anchor in that game, something I know and understand, and...   read

I've been pretty into fat Chocobos (or are they just big chocoboned?) since Brett wrote this thing on getting into MMOs through Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I still likely won't play it, though, and I won't buy this bad boy, either. W...   read

I saw that Square Enix had shared a video of producer Yuji Abe's playthrough of a certain chocobo quest in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Hmm, I thought. Then I saw a major games website run a new hands-on preview of an open-world ...   read

In case you weren't aware, Square Enix showed off a video for Chocobo Racing 3D a few years back, and nothing ever really came of it. Everyone assumed it was either still in development or canceled, but Siliconera talked to the creator of ...   read

I like Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. I dug it from our very first hands-on preview, and I'm now I'm digging it even more after playing the new Tokyo Game Show floor demo. Some felt that the first preview was a bit linear. Line...   read

There is a surprising amount of great cosplay at PAX. People walk around in some pretty elaborate and sometimes beautiful outfits. While all impressive, most of it is the same thing you normally see: a Lara Croft here, a Master Chief there....   read

Uhhhh... here you go! Your dose of weirdness for the weekend! Enjoy! The comedy duo of Max and Sam decided to start a mini-series in which they record a cappella renditions of Final Fantasy songs. As much as I enjoy a good a cappella perfo...   read

In our massive Final Fantasy XIII-2 preview I talked about the game's crazy Chocobo-obsessed merchant. Her name is Chocolina, and she is a total nut job. First off, she's wearing feathers over her arms and hands, and what looks to be a smal...   read

If you fancy getting traumatized this morning, watch the above video. It's the opening moments of Final Fantasy: Type 0 and it will tear away everything that you've ever held as good because a Chocobo gets totally f*cked up in it.  It...   read

Square-Enix may have a little more to do with the world of Wakfu than just publishing the French-developed MMORPG that is set for open beta later this fall. During the Anime Expo panel “An Introduction to the World of WAKFU” Squ...   read

  Here's something I'd never thought we would see again. Square Enix is developing a new Chocobo Racing game for the 3DS. Tenatively titled Chocobo Racing 3D, I assume it will consist largely of riding on the backs of chocobos in some ...   read

It's a simple question, really: What is a chocobo? Anyone in the gaming community could tell you in an instant and most likely pop in a copy of some Final Fantasy game and show you as well. But what about the random man on the street? Is F...   read

Chocobo's Crystal Tower. That sounds cute. It also sounds dungeon crawler-y. That's fine by me, as I love dungeons that are mysterious. Of course, I'm just guessing. This is only a trademark. We're guessing its a new game. Square Enix filed...   read

Last time we spent all week focusing on just the Final Fantasy series, and it was quite a lot to focus on. If you thought that was daunting though, just wait! Final Fantasy debates are usually a touchy subject, but while the results may be ...   read

I love the fact that the Entertainment Software Association gets together every year to organize and fund what really amounts to a giant, industry-wide case of blue balls. Take, for example, this footage of Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 3...   read

The level of win in the photo above is somewhat beyond my ability to comprehend, but it seemed an ideal photo to use to celebrate the re-release of the Playstation 1 classic Chocobo Racing on PSN (well, in Japan anyway). I'd bitch about the...   read

Sorry for the unimaginative post title, but Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers has such a long-ass name that I didn't have room for any extra words other than "new," "video," and "doesn't suck.&q...   read

 People that say animals are dumb can suck it. Seriously. This little bird jams out for the next three and a half minutes to a very familiar tune -- one especially beloved to me, in fact. The video was uploaded by a Japanese YouTube us...   read

Guess who's excited about this.You'll never guess.Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales 2 comes out in Japan this December 11th. There's no US release date yet, but considering a sequel was produced so quickly after the first game, I have a f...   read

So yeah, I like chocobo. A lot. Sure, they're cute, but the incarnation of Chocobo that you know from Chocobo Tales and Chocobo's Dungeon has more than just the adorable factor going on -- his sense of positivity and determination is admira...   read

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon is a mouthful. Luckily, it is also an upcoming RPG for the Wii. Today, developer Square Enix gifted the gaming world with 15 new and exciting screens of this loveable little title. Also included...   read

So does anyone know a good tax attorney? It's getting precariously close to the 15th of April, and lazy Dyson hasn't even bothered to total up his expenses for the year. You can claim Pizza Rolls as a business expense, right? I certainly ho...   read

Wasn't I just recently bemoaning my sad fate if the most recent entry in the Chocobo's Dungeon series didn't make it to the US? I choose to believe that Square heard my desperate plea, rather than the more likely explanation that the announ...   read

We talked about the announcement of Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon: Tokiwasure no Meikyuu way back in September 2007, where I performed the accurate amount of screaming in joyful anticipation and then went back to the daily grind of non-choc...   read

[As originally posted on Tomopop] Usually I privately rebel against blind boxed toys. Despite the fun factor of not knowing what I'm getting, sometimes I just don't want to blow my money on ten boxes in hopes of getting that one figure...   read
