Recently, as of November 6th, Shounen Jump revealed the look of the Chocobos in Final Fantasy XIII. They look slightly different than how Chocobos looked in previous Final Fantasy games. No word yet on if they still say "Kweh!", but they do have an exclamation point above their head whenever they have found buried treasure. They can also fight enemies, and their health is shown by the feathers on them. The more feathers that they lose, the less health they have. Once they lose enough feathers, they then run away leaving you unable to use them. The only place known that you can use these Chocobos is on the plains of Pulse.
The scan can be found Here!. A big thanks to Presto of FFNEXT.com for providing this information.
So, what do you guys think of the Chocobos? To me they seem to look like an evolved version of the Chocobos from FFX! That's a good thing in my opinion as the Chocobos in X were much better than in XI (ugly!) and XII.
I'm not keen on the Chocobos being able to fight monsters though. The whole point of the Chocobo is to get from point A to B as quick as possible, whilst AVOIDING enemies! I bet there will be a "Kill X amount of enemies while riding a Chocobo" Trophy / Achievement. While fighting enemies I would much rather do battle using party members!
I'm VERY glad that SE didn't make the Chocobo's mechanical! At one point I really thought that they might have done that. Oh, and notice Hope's Eidolon, Alexander. I wonder what it will transform in to?
