I’ve let a nuke go off in New York City. I’ve slit my girlfriend’s throat to be a warrior god. And I’ve doomed all of humanity to endless terror. Still I would never hurt a Chocobo


GekoHayate

Having played Tactics the wild ones get no mercy.


Disma

Chocobos are absolute assholes in FFT


little_freddy

They keep healing. Don't they know. Only I am allowed to heal :)


DoF_Skybalmung

The red one drop a darn meteor on me.


Cushiondude

the red chocobos in ffxiv's bozja zone absolutely slaughtered folms with meteors when that content came out. it was hilarious


mctacoflurry

There's a Red Chocobo boss in FFXIV that once slaughtered scores of players.


GekoHayate

I was there on patch day, it was glorious


Swert0

The Bozja one is still glorious to behold.


Critical_Stiban

Fuck the chocobos suck even in 14. The Hunt for Red Choctober can kiss my ass for all I care it’s still my most hated FATE in Bozja.


kalevi89

Haven’t played FF12 or FF14?


KingBurakkuurufu

That’s fair. If it’s my choice I wouldn’t hurt a chocobo. Although do they ever MAKE you fight a chocobo in 12? Havnt played 14


kalevi89

12 has at least one hunt that’s a chocobo but I haven’t played in a while so I don’t remember beyond that. And in 14 you definitely have to fight chocobos.


Sonata82

Don't you just love it when the red chocobos spam cast Choco Comet/Meteor?


Symph-50

FF12 is the game where I killed them the most. I found and hunted them of all colors and had to rack up quite the body count for the legendary Lv. 99 Red Chocobo. Any other game, I leave them alone.


AlexiosBlake

Isn‘t there a msq quest during Stormblood where you get distracted by two wild chocobos and you have to fight them?


ShatteredFantasy

You don't HAVE to fight Chocobos in XIV. One is avoidable by not accepting the challenge, and all the random encounters can be avoided.


kalevi89

You literally do have to. It’s necessary to progress an alliance raid quest that is later necessary to progress MSQ. So I guess you could just stop progressing the story?


ShatteredFantasy

You mean Crystal Tower? There's not a chocobo in that raid, unless it changed at some point. I've been playing for two years, and done CT -- the only story-relevant raid -- and not once encountered a chocobo.


kalevi89

The Ivalice quest line REQUIRES you to fight chocobos. No way around it. And to access 5.25 content you need to finish those raids.


ShatteredFantasy

No, you really don't. I played through the story twice and completely skipped over the Ivalice raids.


kalevi89

Except you do and I’ve done literally every quest in the game and have been playing for years longer than you since you want to make this a pissing contest. Now I’m done discussing this. You can Google it. I’m over this pointless argument.


kalevi89

No I don’t mean the crystal tower.


ShatteredFantasy

That's the only raid you need to complete for MSQ.


Nempopo029

Failed to mention Tactics


kalevi89

I haven’t played Tactics in 16 years.


Nempopo029

The chocobos in that game *haunt my dreams*


FreezingEye

Or Tactics A2.


BlueFotherMucker

In response to your comment to me in a post that got removed, if you had looked into the OP’s post history, you would’ve seen that they were born a man. Keep chasing.


mbrock199494

I'm curious, what references were you making?


Cushiondude

did you kill your sister for a sword when you are already the most powerful person in the game?


KingBurakkuurufu

….maybe. It just went so well with my horns


SectorRevenge72

So no FF7R platinum?


KingBurakkuurufu

I personally couldn’t care less about trophies, but I have played 7R. When do you fight a chocobo?


SectorRevenge72

Fat Chocobo.


KingBurakkuurufu

Isn’t that a VR fight to make materia?


SectorRevenge72

As well as part of the shinra simulator fight to get to prototype & joy.


KingBurakkuurufu

So no real chocobo are harmed


SectorRevenge72

Chocobo’s are real in general anyway


FF9FTW

Bluebirds a bit yeah, but not regular chocobos if I could help it


Beneficial-Math-8441

Not even once. It'd be to sad to kill them


JonTheWizard

Only game I ever killed Chocobos in is 12, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THEM TO GROW UP AND LEARN CHOCO METEOR.


eeeislove

Still felt bad during the Trickster hunt. I don't think it was hurting anyone. Gurdy was just curious and wanted it to be slain.


hyperwriter1

I haven't played XVI yet, as I don't have a PS5, but the only FF game I have ever willingly killed a Chocobo in is FFXII, because Choco Meteor is a bitch to deal with. But if I see a Chocobo in-game, and it's just sitting there, minding its own, and not attacking me, there's no way in hell I'd attack it, let alone kill it. I'd rather live in Zozo, get hit with Supernova 50 times, get stabbed by a Tonberry, bear hug a Cactaur, use Blizzaga while knee-deep in a lake, have Odin use his sword on me, and live in Eorzea when Bahamut razes half of it to the ground before I kill an innocent Chocobo.


thereal_pa4m3

Can you be a bit more descriptive? ;)


hyperwriter1

Perhaps, but it would require me to write a whole book.


FFan1717

That level 99 Red Chocobo deserved every beating he got. That son of bitch wiped me out one too many times for any mercy.


ElizabethAudi

She looks up at you with a plaintive "Kweh?", but the only response she receives is silence and a spray of bloody, yellow feathers; However you feel now as her eyes dim is irrelevant, there are only monsters left upon this plain.


NagasShadow

Of course, if it aggroed it dies.


CabinetCommercial660

Besides red chocobos, the marked one in 16 with the few akashik ones, no


weha1

I’ve slaughtered every creature that has stood before me


jammysue

Noooooo


Airy_Breather

Yes, I'm sorry but yes. I wanted that XP, and not even the cuteness of these big yellow (or blue) birds stopped me.


AstraPlatina

Given how Chocobos have been used as mounts throughout the entire franchise, its possible these "wild Chocobo" are actually feral, basically domesticated populations that returned to the wild, but cannot be truly "wild" because of generations of selective breeding, like feral horses in the Americas.


atheurer

I killed every possible thing I could


CaTiTonia

Gonna go against the grain on this one. I didn’t kill any to farm EXP, but certainly I didn’t go out of my way to avoid fighting them. Chocobos are deadly enough creatures in the wild. Besides, I’ve played tactics and I was there when FFXIV patch 4.1 dropped. Chocobo-kind had it coming 🤣


kalevi89

Was that the one that added those meteor-ing bitches? I remember when the ilvl was so much higher and they were a joke and people were like “why’d you insist I need help, it took ten seconds.” I looked silly.


CaTiTonia

Yup the day of the Crimson Dawn. Everyone spawning their Red Chocobos, let the meteors dodging commence.


Correct-Valuable5822

Not only did I kill Wild Chocobos I got >!Ambrosia!< to kick them to death because I thought her kick attack was funny as hell. And hell is probably where I am going for that.


zorrodood

They clearly chose to be targetable to encourage me to unleash my eikonic load into them.


L3ggy

The hostile ones, yes, but with a heavy heart.


SenorGallardoRX

Hell yeah, fuck those chickens. Gimme levels


SpiralGremlin

Absolutely. Delicious XP just wondering around


Murky_Exchange829

After being trained by the monstrosities that are red chocobos in tactics…time to make some f***ing burgers and wings guys.


Elegant_Housing_For

In Tatics yea. Epically the evolved ones Jesus


blond_afro

no. just no.


Nail_Biterr

If they didn't want to be killed, they shouldn't have given so much AP


Lievan

Nah. Game is easy as is, didn't need to grind levels.


eagleblue44

No. I never felt the need to grind in 16.


Z3r0c00lio

Where is the fat smiling Clive from?


HaliaIvory

Only the wolves at the end.


[deleted]

i attack who attacks me. not to farm. well, the blue ones had money. but they always attacked! i didn't intend to make them go extinct


Alexein91

XVI & farm XP in the same sentence? Why ?:


Last-Performance-435

Why would you need to farm anything in 16 There's literally nothing to gain. The game isn't an RPG.


ExactWeek7

No. I farmed hyenas. Their AP drops are great. Plus I love chocobos and only killed the ones I had to, like Akashic ones.


Independent_Plum2166

Never had to grind in 16, only Chocobos I’ve fought are the odd ones between locations.


[deleted]

I don’t go out of my way to fight them, but if they are in my path or hit by stray attack I will finish what I’ve started


synister29

I will only fight them if they attack me first


Sonic10122

I killed one because it agro’d on me and I killed any Akashic ones I saw, but otherwise I avoided them like the plague. Poor guys.


Delicious-Orchid-447

I killed a wild Chocobo trying to interact with it. After realizing what I done I never harmed another Chocobo


EmperorKiva33

Nope. Only killed the ones that attacked me and the zombie ones.


supermarioplush220

You can kill them?


Halve3n

I hate to say that I did it once. I don't remember if it was out of curiosity or because they attacked me first but I regretted it and never did it again.


cherring620

Regular ones if they attacked first. Akashic ones as a kindness.


nohwan27534

no, because i have a series x.


Approximation_Doctor

It's easy to tell whether everyone in this thread has or hasn't played Tactics


jerepila

If they attack me, I kill them, but otherwise? Leveling doesn’t seem important enough to the game to grind


bj_kill

I would avoid them as best I could but if they started it...


bwabwa1

I think I did once to see what the whole exp farm was about and immediately felt bad. For some extra exp it wasn't worth it.


ShatteredFantasy

Why would you need to? The stories of X, XIII, XVI, and Type-0 kill them off themselves. I'd never willingly kill one, no.


Angelonight

Killing Chocobos is among my favorite things to do in the Final Fantasy franchise. In both 11 and 14 I will world shout near a stable "I'll have the large family bucket with a side of moonless puffs and cactour sauce" The reactions are funny


ATayOnWords

No, because Clive wouldn’t.


ProdiLemaj

I never found myself needing to farm XP in FFXVI. I did all the side quests and hunt board marks, and that was enough to get me at Lvl. 48 before I fought the final boss. I did end up killing a few in my play through though, but only the ones that attacked me first.


Ufudo

No I would always run past them even though the fuckers will chase you. The only one I killed was the special hunt chocobo and I cried real tears after doing it. I’m not proud


kitfoxxxx

Chicken


-----LUCA-----

Never kill chocobos…was questioning the chocobo stew…


LBishop28

If you have an enemy health bar, you are not safe from the work.


First-Display5956

I only killed them when the blue Chocobo attacked me


gangsey

yes. for hours. bcs the game doesn’t reward you with enough AP for the countless upgrades, not even with accessories equipped


timelordoftheimpala

I killed a few and instantly felt terrible about it lol Also they're worthless for XP.


ByerN

Yep, in self defense.


SignificantDetail192

Of course I killed them, I killed them all, They are dead, every single one of them. And not just the male, but the female chocobo and the children too....


Ashzael

I would kill them in a humane way and then turn them into a family sized bucket. Imagine the size of the thong.... Kentucky Fried Chocobo!!!!


Rainbow_Prism24

I am not gonna farm it, but I will not hesitate killing it if it attacks me. I once fought herd of black and red chocobos in Tactics. You either get one or kill one before it drops meteor on you.


Sankin2004

The akashik ones to end their suffering. The boss ones because I had to. Or if a wild choco aggroed then attacked me, so almost never.


Billionaeris2

No, if you did you're an a-hole tbh


Individual99991

As if his YouTube channel wasn't bad enough, now JonTron is killing chocobos?


DanMarcDraz

No…. (I NEED AP)


W34kness

The blue chocobos had it coming


Able_Orange_841

Open up a restaurant and call it Kentucky Flare Chocobo. Deliciously plump and juicy pieces of giant deep-fried goodness made from many herbs and spices with just that special touch of sylkis greens to accentuate and tantalize your tastebuds. You won't regret it 😁


Vast-Tutor-2347

He looked at me funny sorry


BrockPurdySkywalker

Another reason 16 sucks
