The card battle system from the first Chocobo Tales is gone, and it's replaced with a disc flicking game thing which is, in my opinion, far more interesting! The minigames are much the same bunch, but the actual art style and narrative are much more interesting too.<br /><br /><br />As for the Chocobo Dungeon DS game, that's truly a work of art. One of my most played DS games ever. <br /><br /><br />I'm a chocobo nut, in case you haven't noticed yet ;-)Matt Shttp://www.digitallydownloaded.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-41381165092204182862014-01-14T08:32:10.023-08:002014-01-14T08:32:10.023-08:00Hey there, Matt!

My main recommendation would be Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales for the DS, although you might like Chocobo's Dungeon for Wii, too. (If you have a Wii.)

I was thinking of something based on FF in general, so there'd be tracks themed after actual game locations (Narshe, Midgard, etc), and more characters who were playable in the games. Riding on Chocobos would up the polycount but they used pre-rendered graphics for this one so that wouldn't have mattered anyway. The actual game is original tracks (including a gosh darn candy mountain!), the characters ride original vehicles, and the characters themselves (besides Squall, I think!) all come from the "Chocobo" franchise, like the dungeon games and comics. Maybe this was better for their target audience, and maybe vehicles limited to birds would have been dumb, but I'd take 2/3 or even 1/3 so long as the 1 was track theme, but they didn't hit any of my desired targets with that one. :(<br /><br />But yes, more power would have been good, too. :)michaelstearnsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-1958854876944131072014-01-13T09:27:40.716-08:002014-01-13T09:27:40.716-08:00Well, just remember that when they produced the PS...Well, just remember that when they produced the PSone game they didn't exactly have the horsepower to bring your dream to life.
