The presence of the amiable yellow avian known as the chocobo has been an indispensable part of the Final Fantasy series since the second title. In Final Fantasy V, the chocobo outgrew its role as a mere means of transportation, becoming a supporting character by the name of Boco.
The mythical bird became the main protagonist for the game Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon on the PlayStation. Along the way, the chocobo theme song composed by Nobuo Uematsu has been treated to practically every remix style imaginable.
Now that the character has its own Nintendo series, Final Fantasy Fables, the responsibility of scoring the music of the chocobo has passed to Joe Down Studio of Sapporo, Hokkaido.
It’s one of the most iconic names in the games industry. Square Enix needs only slap “Final Fantasy” on the box to almost guarantee to generate a fever hype behind the game.
lol, dudes worried about getting chewed out for mentioning Lightning Returns but fails to include any of the FF's from VI to IX. Madness indeed!
No need to include those because everyone knows they the best Final Fantasy games. IX being my favourite. Final Fantasy XIII series is just shockingly bad!

And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
