Chocobo Tales breaks out this April
This year's contender for Most Precious Game finally has a release date stateside: Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales is slated to hit shelves April 3. Since we are suckers for everything Final Fantasy-related, it's a sure bet that we've already got the date circles in our calendars ... and if you saw all these trailers, you probably want to borrow our marker.
Tons of Chocobo site updates [Update 1]
Besides finding a few really silly and sad pictures of people dressed up as chocobos, we also discovered that Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book's site has a lot of updates. Little yellow chocobo supported by a stick will take you on a tour of his world and even introduces you to a few friends. Yes, the site is still in Japanese so unless you speak it fluently, you're in the same boat as we are. There are a ton of images to look at and a nice yellow wallpaper to help you go down to crazytown after staring at it for a good five minutes. While there is still no word on whether or not this will reach the States, we still feel that another addition to our FF chocobo spin-off collection wouldn't hurt. [Update 1: Oh, those pesky typos!]
Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book Screens
Go Nintendo has three or so screens from Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book. The game definitely has an interesting look to it and you would be better off translating the original Japanese site the images are from to get a better feel for what it's all about. In spite of all the spin-offs from Final Fantasy, we can't help but want to play this one. There have been games based around the chocobo's before and we are excited to see where they are taking these lovable creatures next.
Chocobo's Magic Picture Book starter site
A pair of big blue eyes and some feathers falling from random places is all you get from Square's teaser site for Chocobo's Magic Picture Book. If you don't read Japanese you can at least poke around Chocobo's eyes and listen to his theme song until you want to scratch out your own eyes. But don't sharpen your fingernails just yet! We can tell you that the site does say that its official launch date is in September. Did someone say Tokyo Game Show appearance maybe? See also: Wark! Chocobo coming to the DS
