Chocobo Black Mages: I'm Being Seriouslah
Based strictly on the adorable packaging (and maybe my Final Fantasy fan boy leanings), I bought SquareEnix's Chocobo Tales for the DS earlier this year. It was most certainly a novelty - cute little chickens, inside humor, mini games, and some collectible card slinging on the side. It was great though: challenging at moments and a fun little time killer for a handheld title.
If you liked that, you're sure to blow your top over SquEnix's purported upcoming Wii effort: Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. Finally a reason to fire up that other small white thing next to my 360! Japanese game rag Famitsu had some lovely screenshots (including the one above) depicting not only a truer RPG game play format, but Chocobos donning the legendary Final Fantasy Black Mage and White Mage garb. This amazing role expansion for our favorite in-game fowls is exciting, to be sure, and it couldn't possibly get any cuter unless you rolled it up in icing and sequins and packaged it as a new Barbie accessory.
What say you?!
