Oh I put a new picture in, but it got deleted. It was a screenshot from the game... *sigh* axym. ____
Whether the new picture is "better" is debatable, I think. It's not as scaled-down, granted, but it's also kinda... chibi, and not too representative of how chocobos look in-game. We need to get a better shot overall, though, than either of the two provide. I think the article's also long enough now that we could insert another picture or two in here, preferably of a non-yellow chocobo. -- Xanzzibar 16:59, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Something needs to be added to the blurb for FF Tactics about Boco, I would think. But I can't think of a decent way to word it.

I reverted this for two reasons. First, it seems largely to be conjecture. Two words that seem sort of alike don't make for any sort of definitive link. I've seen plenty of people indicate that chocobos may have gotten their name from a chocolate cereal/candy/something that had a bird logo. Secondly, this seems to be original research, and just plain unverifiable speculation. -- Xanzzibar 22:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
This is only my second edit. Regardless, I request anyone to give me a better etyomology than that. I mean, virtually the entirety of etyomology is based on conjecture, and I thought that I made it clear that it was an interesting conjecture anyway. But then, I'm new here and don't know all the rules, so Live and Learn.
Why did somebody edit out my information about Final Fantasy IX's best/gold chocobo. I put:
"* Gold = Able to fly, provided the take-off point is a forest and the landing point is a forest. This chocobo is similar in capability to the black chocobos of Final Fantasy IV and is the only other one in the Final Fantasy series to date that the player can fly."
And somebody replaced it with:
"Gold = Can cross oceans, rivers, mountains, and other hard-to-reach areas."
Were you thinking of Final Fantasy VII? Final Fantasy IX's gold chocobo *can* fly exactly as I described. Reediting and putting my information back in. If you still think I'm wrong, then explain why here.

Why do people continue to put stuff in the description saying things like that FFVII's gold chocobo can fly? It *cannot*. Only the FFIX gold chocobo and the black chocobos in some of the earlier games can fly. I don't understand the continued confusion over this issue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Agent0042 ( talk • contribs) .
I question the mentioning of a chocobo appearing in Advent Children's end credits. Its been a general critism that Chocobos have not appeared in the movie in any physical form, and only appear in the form of one of Edge's many different billboard art pieces scattered all over the place. This should be looked into, and a picture may be required, because clearly, I, and many others, have never seen this Chocobo durring the credits. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.11.6.41 ( talk • contribs) .
The connection between Cabbits and Chocobos is unclear and unverifiable, so I removed the reference in the See Also section. Please discuss this on the Cabbit talk page. Viltris 21:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
No reference whatsoever is mentioned of the song, I believe originating in Final Fantasy II.-- Notmyhandle 07:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please expand this article. I dont think it goes into enough detail on chocobos.
Some users are saying that the article is not encyclopedic material. Some users put in tags asking for citations, references, saying its too short, too long, or rubbish. Frankly, i think the article isn't suppose to be bloody long and enormously descriptive. In fact, some of the material in this article could be placed in the Final Fantasy Wiki, with a link pointing to the said Wiki, and if anyone would want to read on the colored Chocobos of Final Fantasy VII they should just go to the FFWiki. The FFWiki could use the information placed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluerfn ( talk • contribs) 09:45, 1 November 2006
Seconded. This article is grotesque. — Hex (❝?!❞) 13:05, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I think this whole Article should be Strg-x Strg-v to another wiki and be put a link to it on a Final Fantasy article which I assume do exist here. 89.59.105.11Quicksilver
Oh, I don't know, I stumbled across the article and found it a charming example on how just about anything can become a science ^.~ Though I lol:ed it doesn't mean it's not useful, as Leher said, under a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances. Mikademus 22:01, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
It's been cruftied up quite a bit. I've been meaning to clean it up. Can I ask for a day to do so before we decide anything? -- Kizor 22:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Instead of just listing it on AFD take the time to track down some of the quotes, reference them, and un-cruftify it, Derktar 07:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC).
See [1]. Much of the content about how chocobos appear in various Final Fantasy games was already present on the FFWiki Chocobo page, so I didn't feel it was necessary to move it. I did move the non-Final Fantasy appearances section, because there was no such information on the FFWiki page. I think this page now has a reasonable length. -- Barfooz 19:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Now that the article has less fancruft and becoming more of a desirable and readable article, removing tag. If lucky, it might even become a Featured article. Here's hoping. 私はBluerfnです 21:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that the role of the White Chocobo in FF7 is important enough to mention in a sentence or two. The main things being:
Perhaps a couple of other things I haven't thought of at this moment. I do think they should at least be mentioned since they are totally different from all the other kinds of chocobos in the game. -- Gellender 02:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I believe that the spinoffs should be a bit more prominent; I mean, as it stands, every game or non-game Chocobo has been a vehicle in gets a section, but the games he stars in are afterthoughts. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone sure exactly how "chocobo" is supposed to be pronounced? I've always pronounced it "koh-koh-boh," but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. I've also heard "choh-koh-boh" most often, but the article is making me unsure if that is correct. It says that the name comes from a chocolate ball, making me wonder if it is pronounced like chocolate ("chaw-coh-boh"). Could it be something I didn't say? Is anyone sure? - Platypus Man | Talk 01:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Chocobo in Japanese does not sound like "Choh-koh-boh", the reason being that the first two "o" sounds are short, while the last is long. Japanese doesn't have two different "o" sounds (as in English low and law), but then again English doesn't necessarily have vowel length in the same way that Japanese does. In any case, English long "o" is no good, especially for the first two syllables. To my ear, the Japanese pronunciation is almost identical to the Japanese pronunciation of "choco" as in "chocolate", which is to say something like "chaw-ko".
Anyway the Japanese pronunciation is only relevant if you choose it to be. Otherwise it's probably best to go by the spoken dialogue - although English has so many different accents that even this doesn't really settle the issue. In my experience the American pronunciation is often different from the British pronunciation - in addition to the dialectal differences within each country. Thorf ( talk) 14:18, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
If it helps: the romanization of the Japanese would be chokobo. Broken into syllables, it would be cho-ko-bo. Every o is pronounced as the o in ocean. Every syllable is equally stressed. Should come out sounding somewhat like "choke a bow" (if you get lazy on that middle o. lol) MarkoOhNo ( talk) 11:44, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
The black Chocobo is a purplish color in FF4/5, not blue. It might be too dark to see on a regular TV screen, but in the GBA remakes (where the colors are lighter) it is obviously purple. The lighter parts are almost PINK. 64.4.97.238 20:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah you are correct, it is purple, but not for want of trying to be black! Gavin Scott 18:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
I am biologist and ornithologist, and I can say that the chocobos are clearly giant like-chicken birds, not ratites. Therefore, the correct definition of chocobo is galliforme bird, not ratite bird.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.35.137.225 ( talk • contribs) .
now that the topic has been restructured to prepare for Good Article status, should the template be changed or retained? Judgesurreal777 23:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Isn't the romanji for Chocobo supposed to be "jiyokobo", seeing as that is how it is referred in one of the chocobo game articles (Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon, I think), and how "jiyo" said quicky sounds the same as "cho" as there is no actual symbol for "cho". Correct me if I'm wrong. Choogle 11:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Should we add the mobile Chocobo game to the template bar for completeness sake? Judgesurreal777 20:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
A technology demo titled Chocobo de Battle was shown at the Siggraph 1997. I wonder where this can be placed in the article? Unfortunately, I have no reliable source, but here's a youtube clip. Kariteh 11:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
The article is very lacking in references, and does not seem like it is going to be any good on its own. It will strengthen this article, and when we finally get around to fixing up this article, we can see if it needs to be merged out again. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 00:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Maybe it's just me, but the section on Chocobos in the FF series seems to make it sound like racing and breeding were *only* added to FFXI, when in fact, one could do both in FFVII... can/should this be distinguished in some way? -- Umrguy42 ( talk) 17:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Is anyone going to update this? Breeding and racing were definitely part of other FF iterations.

The article has been a Start forever, I have searched long and hard for anything that would make it more than a Start, and found nothing. If we merge it here, it will make this article stronger and have more content, and if we ever have more info on the game we can always split it back out.

@ ProtoDrake: Since you rewrote the article, technically your the only major contributor to it! :) So I wanted to ask what you think of the idea of letting someone, like me, put this to GA nomination. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 15:49, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
