Like other games in the Final Fantasy franchise, this version includes the popular Chocobo. Usually the large bird is a utility used as a mount. Very rarely is much of the story told from the Chcobo's point of view. I thought it was time for this to change.
I see these as being tales told to other chocobos in the stables at the end of each day's travels.
I am so excited. My day has finally
come. I have been given a partner to travel and explore this wide
world in which we live. I see all the different types of peoples
that visit the fields near our home. Tall muscular fighters that
nearly have to duck to enter the stables. Short folks that can hide
from sight in tall bushes and barely reach my knees. They all travel
about protecting others, fighting monsters, and collecting materials
for their various crafts. Now I can travel with someone and do all
of this along with them. Wait. I hear the whistle made for my new
partner. KWEH! Off to start my adventures.
I spent most of the day running through
the woods with my new partner. He is a small person that uses
mystical energies rather than steel weapons. I could have not asked
for a more perfect rider. As we moved between the trees I could see
some people fighting smaller monsters. Beasts too weak for my
partner to be bothered with. Some people were fighting these
monsters to keep them away from the nearby city. We rode to a
village filled with people even smaller than my rider. They were so
short, their feet didn't touch the ground. They just floated around
with their wings fluttering. We crossed through the village and
approached another forest filled with larger beasts and walking
trees. I will admit I am a little glad my partner dismounted and
sent me away before fighting anything there.
My partner got some clothing for me.
He calls it “barding.” What I have now is simple and decorated
in the colors and symbols of the nation he has been helping lately.
He has promised me more barding in different styles and patterns. I
can't wait.
Cold. Today was a journey in an area
that was very cold. Mountains soared into the sky. Stone towers
rivaled them in height. Beasts here come in both large and small
sizes. Fortunately, I am much faster than the large lizards that
roam the area. Some of them tried to come after us, but I was able
to keep us safe until we entered the brick city that had been
established a long time ago. Some of the walls of the city looked
damaged, but it was still safer than the castle nearby that had been
taken over by beasts and dragons.
Today's adventure was both exciting and
intense. I was given a treat of gysahl greens. With a gift like
this, I expected to carry my partner from one end of the world to the
other. However, this time he didn't hop into the saddle for a ride.
Instead I fought alongside him to beat many, many evil monsters. It
was very scary at first, but I couldn't leave my partner alone when
he had so much faith in my skills. KWEH! I learned a new kick to
use the next time I'm asked to fight. Despite my fears at first, I
can't wait to beat more monsters and learn more combat skills. Maybe
I will even learn some tricks to help my partner by more than just
fighting.
These last few days has been extremely
busy. We traveled from area to area, region to region, and nation to
nation. We fought evil troops that came with magitek defensive
units, a behemoth, numerous goblins and evil sylphs, and more fish
men than I care to count. We traveled to the ocean, visited a region
full of giant crystals, and cruised across a giant desert. While I
truly enjoy my time with my partner, I wouldn't mind if he got a new
mount so I could get a little rest. Maybe one of those flying things
with one eye could carry him around for a bit.
Now, where did I leave my controller. Ramuh has offered up a challenge I can't refuse.
