Chocobo
Final Fantasy XIV VR experience will give you the chance to prove you’re the kweh-kist Chocobo jockey around.
We head to Shinjuku to encounter these Square Enix video game mascots turned tasty treats.
Cozy cosplay pajamas from Square Enix are just the thing for fans who want to mix in some kupos and kwehs when catching Zs.
Emotes, stickers, and exclusive merch all part of the leadup to Final Fantasy XIV’s newest expansion.
The flavor of the Light and Dark Crystals pairs great with a bottle of Moogle tea from Lawson.
Perfectly recreated bride’s dress, Moogle desserts, and wedding Chocobo are all part of the package.
Why settle for boring strawberry shortcake when Square Enix video game franchise’s Chocobo, Moogle, and Cactuar are ready and waiting in edible form?
Following several years of building dependable, affordable, yet almost utterly soulless automobiles, Toyota is trying to get back to creating and market cars with a sense of joy and playfulness. After all, it’s a waste to treat driving as just going from Point A to Point B in the dullest way possible instead of the fun journey it has the potential to be.
That’s why in its newest commercial, Toyota is invoking the spirit of adventure with a fleet of yellow hybrids running about the countryside with the musical accompaniment of one of the most instantly recognizable pieces of Final Fantasy music ever composed.
The slim, sleek Chocobo that populate the Final Fantasy world may be much better for covering long distances and racing, but as far as cuddling goes, Fat Chocobo might take the cake.
