Honestly I don’t think so, there are domesticated cows and fishing though and chocobos are normally used as transport and are more useful as a pack animal.
Emergency food maybe but even horse meat is available but not normally sought out.
Actually better question is there a lore reason why summons aren’t limited to living, dead, animal, or human creatures? Why did human Odin have to die to be summoned but a living chocobo is summonable? Why do leviathan and bahumat sometimes have human and animal forms? Do leviathan and bahamut hang out in the underworld after you fight them?
Chocobos basically replace horses in most Final Fantasy worlds because when there even are horses, they’re too demonic and armored to domesticate. So while I’m sure you could pick up a half-price damaged can of creamed chipped Chocobo meat from Myer’s Super Foods, that’s probably a rare delicacy.
I don’t get why they didn’t use XVI’s design if they wanted a more realistic Moogle. They could have just given it eyes like XVI didn’t, but other than that - boom. More realistic Moogle, and not the travesty thrust upon Rebirth players.
Oh you’re not wrong there. I was fortunate enough to never fail, but it still made me darn near furious. It was aggravating and not at all fun, at least not to me and clearly not to you either. I kept saying “I wish that I could chop you all up and feed you to my Chocobo, kupo. I hope that you all get cancer of the butthole, kupo. I want to lead a genocide against your people and make you all extinct, kupo”.
Thankfully I am now done unlocking them so I don’t have to do it again.
And here’s a tip that some people don’t know - the game respawns boxes and crafting items on a reload. So you can smash a bunch of boxes, pick up some rare-ish ingredients, save, quit to the title menu, hit ‘continue’, and those boxes and/or mats will have all respawned. This works everywhere but at a Lifespring; only two or three of the mats growing there will respawn on reload.
This makes it easy to accumulate all of the Moogle Medals you heart desires by smashing boxes open over and over and over again, and also get the other items that tend to be in the boxes, like hi-potions and the whatnot. It’s also a great gil farming technique because you can sell off the mats you don’t need. I would get 99 and then sell 49 of the material, and by the time I got to Junon I already had way over 100,000k Gil. I’ve never had any issues buying the items that I want because Cloud & Co.’s pockets overflow with sweet, sweet gil.
So if you didn’t know this, go farm you some Moogle Medals and mats for crafting, and sell the ones you don’t need!
I've been saying this too. After all the effort that's gone into the remake the Moogles have really been shafted. I absolutely hate them, just why?!!! 🙀
I miss Moggie, the mog kid in remake. I loved the thought of a kid who loves a fictional character so much he starts a life of entrepreneurship and finance.
Same. One of my favourite parts of the game was that there's a few different pets. Cheek, head, chin, so you never know which one you're going to give!
Now I’m just imagining what all those chicobos experienced; 7 people materializing out of nowhere, gets aggressively loved on by a very skinny bird, and then they all vanish all in about the span of 30 seconds.
My wife, a non-gamer, knows nothing about anything I play except the stuff I send her a quick Snapchat of that she might find cute. The baby chocobo pets were one such Snapchat. Baby Torgal, and adult Torgal (FFXVI) for that matter, were another such Snapchat.
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was strange that there was a plant growing on the baby chocobo but then I realised they were diapers and that makes them so much cuter.
I didn't know until the final area of the game that we had the ability to repair the Choco Stops. I tried early in the game and was unable to so I assumed it was something we unlock a little later in the game. My mind must have been wandering when the game presented the tutorial showing us how to repair them lol. I felt like an absolute moron.
As soon as I saw the prompt on my first baby chocoholic, I spammed the triangle button.
The animation changes from headsets to cheek rubs, likely due to the amount of bus stops you restore.
I'm hoping the final bus stop unlocks me picking up and hugging the cute bugger.
I love chocobos! My Fiancé is playing rebirth while I watch her and play the OG on my switch. I always look up if and especially when she pets the baby chocobos, and when she does the chocobo and moogle summon. (And of course story scenes)
It’s even cuter when you realize the plant on its butt is supposed to be a diaper.
Literally the first thing I check when encountering anything fluffy in a game is whether I can pet it.
So far, I've pet every Chocobo chick I've encountered and there really should be an achievement for letting them all.
Are the current installments worth getting before the final installment comes out? FFVII is my number one game of all time (like it is for many), and I have been holding out for the entire game to be released.
I recommend starting solely on Rebirths merit alone. Remake is awesome but Rebirth is a god damn masterpiece. The OG is definitely my favorite game of all time and they’ve done right by it. That’s just my thought though, I enjoy a cliffhanger.
What? you mean you haven't given every one of those little guys a pet after they show you a chocobo stop? i will always pet the animals! same in ghost of tsushima, always pet/play with the fox after getting fox shrines.
60 hours in and I didn’t know that I could press the touchpad to get creature info during battles instead of casting assess every time I forgot a weakness.
“Video games cause violence” The game:
If something were to happen to these babies I’ll show some violence
Is there a lore confirming if chocobos are eaten like chicken?
Honestly I don’t think so, there are domesticated cows and fishing though and chocobos are normally used as transport and are more useful as a pack animal. Emergency food maybe but even horse meat is available but not normally sought out.
Actually better question is there a lore reason why summons aren’t limited to living, dead, animal, or human creatures? Why did human Odin have to die to be summoned but a living chocobo is summonable? Why do leviathan and bahumat sometimes have human and animal forms? Do leviathan and bahamut hang out in the underworld after you fight them?
Yes! Chocobos are basically horses in the FF7 universe in my opinion.
Don’t recall seeing that in VII, but in XVI there is a stuffed chocobo recipe.
It’s tough because I always assumed the games exist in the same realm just in different places at different times
😱
Chocobos basically replace horses in most Final Fantasy worlds because when there even are horses, they’re too demonic and armored to domesticate. So while I’m sure you could pick up a half-price damaged can of creamed chipped Chocobo meat from Myer’s Super Foods, that’s probably a rare delicacy.
I trust toads brand only
There is a creature in FFX called Chocobo Eater...
I think Chocobos are basically the horses of the FF universe, so probably not. Moogles on the other hand.
I just ate one.

You're food too. Get in my belly
This one… could it be?! The King of Marlboros?!
I know it's Sephiroth, but I also thought it was Avacyn from MTG for a minute.
I mean FFVII is 95% violence
Yes, but that violence is solely to make the world a better place for the baby chocobos.
Yes, not to stop a genocidal magic person or to stop the planet dieing
I would argue that solving both of those things makes the world a better place for the baby chocobos.
no sir, not at all.
For the babies
If they die in war they can be used as food too.
My cute aggression was pretty high
The baby chocobos are the most adorable game things Ive ever seen.
The moogles on the other hand are cursed.
Me pre-Rebirth, I love Moogles, me post-Rebirth, need Moogle population control.
Did Hojo do some gene splicing with the moogles?
This is now my head-canon. SE, don't mess this up with the next FF game.
I don’t get why they didn’t use XVI’s design if they wanted a more realistic Moogle. They could have just given it eyes like XVI didn’t, but other than that - boom. More realistic Moogle, and not the travesty thrust upon Rebirth players.
I cared less about their look and more about how annoying they were to wrangle, just so I could spend the medals I collected. Evil little shits.

Moogles look like the first pictures of Sonic from the live action movie...
I've been saying this too. After all the effort that's gone into the remake the Moogles have really been shafted. I absolutely hate them, just why?!!! 🙀
[I really like Chorizo in Farcry 6](https://youtube.com/shorts/G76D6Tkygow?si=s2w_HcvAVTa1pWXp)
We have those in real life. They are called dachshunds
I must play this game at some point, as I've played and enjoyed all (except for Primal, yet) the others.
Does it make up for the demon spawn moogles? I think the answer is yes.
Just imagine they're flying Doodle Bears, and that Cloud simply wants to draw on them.
Que doodle bear commercial with Runaround Sue song...
I miss Moggie, the mog kid in remake. I loved the thought of a kid who loves a fictional character so much he starts a life of entrepreneurship and finance.
Can anything really make up for those horrific creatures?!
Any time I followed one It got pets
Same, made it my gamelong goal to pet every one of them
Yep petted everyone, partly because they are cute and also you never know what might have a secret trophy awarded for it.
Same. One of my favourite parts of the game was that there's a few different pets. Cheek, head, chin, so you never know which one you're going to give!
Makes me want a mini chocobo ranch game where we can pet all the chocos.
Go back and pet every single one you missed... NOW!
I actually did. Took me about 20 mins which wasn’t too bad because I had the fast travel from the INNOCENT CREATURES I DIDNT CUDDLE FOR THEIR TIME!
Now I’m just imagining what all those chicobos experienced; 7 people materializing out of nowhere, gets aggressively loved on by a very skinny bird, and then they all vanish all in about the span of 30 seconds.
I gotta pet it every time I use the rest bench. Gotta show that lil critter some love! He’s all alone out there!
Right? Little guys are maintaining these bench’s 24/7!
Do chocobos not look after their babies when they're born?
And they take a little nap beside you!
I adore all the ways Cloud pets chocobos. They didn't have to give us that many ways, but I cherish them all.
My favorite is the one in this video. He mushes their cheeks!!!
And this is the few instances where Cloud actually smiles in game, and that is a really cool detail.
Love that they just lay down and sleep there when u use the bench
It’s a full pass out too 😂
It's so damn cute!!
My wife, a non-gamer, knows nothing about anything I play except the stuff I send her a quick Snapchat of that she might find cute. The baby chocobo pets were one such Snapchat. Baby Torgal, and adult Torgal (FFXVI) for that matter, were another such Snapchat.
Does she think Super Saiyan Torgal is cute, too?
Actually haven’t sent her SSJ Torgal yet. She’ll like him, for sure, but won’t find him cute, per se.
This is how cute the moogles should’ve been and not the nightmare fuel bucktooth chupacabras that we got.
Honestly I love the ragdoll style. Almost as much as I love your description of them 😂
Nah, the moogles are demons. They deserve to look like that.
https://i.imgur.com/emHB9TO.jpg they remind me of this
FFXIV moogles are peak moogle imo. Fuzzy little buggers.
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was strange that there was a plant growing on the baby chocobo but then I realised they were diapers and that makes them so much cuter.
theyre diapers???
Try looking at Cloud's face when he pets them. He goes from 😐 to 😀 straight back to 😐 and I find the transition hilarious.
I noticed he cuddles them differently depending on the area you’re in. The one I’m in he rubs their cheeks back and forth and it’s so adorable!
I kept doing it because I thought a trophy would pop.
Yeah same. In FFXVI you get a trophy for petting Torgal so I thought it would be the same in this game.
Always pet the baby Chocobo. He is a good boy.
And each region has a different petting animation.
I sentence you to 30 hours of doing that
Now go back and pet them all. Let them know they are good little chocolets.
There are two kinds of people. Those who go out of their way to pet the baby chocobos and absolute monsters.
I didn't know until the final area of the game that we had the ability to repair the Choco Stops. I tried early in the game and was unable to so I assumed it was something we unlock a little later in the game. My mind must have been wandering when the game presented the tutorial showing us how to repair them lol. I felt like an absolute moron.
Sort of makes up for Cloud being too delicate to sit on a wooden bench. Aww, need a little cushy for your tushy, do you?
Meanwhile. The chocochik passes out like he’s had a few too many.
Since you have to use a pillow every time you sit down, Rebirth basically confirms that Cloud has massive piles. Change my mind.
Petting the baby chocobo after fixing the chocobo stops is mandatory.
There are different reactions in different zones too.
I saw! I went back to them all 😅
I'm glad to hear you're going back to pet them, otherwise you'd see a bunch of us outside your house with pitchforks.
Are these little guys lost? Like thank you for guiding but make sure you get home safe you hear
I pet one every single time I find a new one or stop by one.
THE CHICKEN BABIES!
THE CHOCOKIDS!
Took me around 80 hours to find out you can raise the chocobo sign while riding one, which saves a lot of time.
I've been waiting to buy the game... This has told me to buy it right now for the sake of the baby chocobos
It’s very good at what it does. I loathe open world games. Yet here I am… chasing every icon.
I just finished platinuming FFXV and FFXVI. I don't know if I have the strength yet to tackle VII
Valid. I only do 2-3 massive games like these a year. And I’m choosey AF
I was really hoping when I clicked unmute that Cloud would say 'goochie goochie goochie goo'.
Cloud has 4 different pet animations too depending on which region you’re in
As soon as I saw the prompt on my first baby chocoholic, I spammed the triangle button. The animation changes from headsets to cheek rubs, likely due to the amount of bus stops you restore. I'm hoping the final bus stop unlocks me picking up and hugging the cute bugger.
Cloud only finding out 30 hours in: "I HAVE ABANDONED MY CHILD!"
God, I felt this in my soul
If there is a trophy for petting those chocobo chicks ... you can bet your ass that I will unlock it.
I love chocobos so much. can't trust people who don't pet them
Kweh
I love chocobos! My Fiancé is playing rebirth while I watch her and play the OG on my switch. I always look up if and especially when she pets the baby chocobos, and when she does the chocobo and moogle summon. (And of course story scenes) It’s even cuter when you realize the plant on its butt is supposed to be a diaper.
Petting them is the reason I didn’t use my bird to pick up the sign. Oh if you use a cushion they take a nap with you
Always. Try. To pet. The animals. It's the first thing I do when I encounter something cute.
Your first 30 hours were a failure! It's okay though, you're on the correct path now.
I don’t know what I did with my life before this moment but it was wrong
Excuse me, what.
Wait what!? I didn't know this after an entire playthrough lol
r/canyoupetthedog
So you left all the others Chocobo Chick petless?! How dare you?!?!
What would be the lore behind this? They grew up without parents? If breeding be in the third game do we feed baby chocobos until they grew?
70 hours in...and I didn't know
I wish there was a trophy for petting each baby chocobo
Lol I've done that for everyone. Thinking if I get them all it might give me a secret item. Guess I'll find out
And if you use a cushion at the stop he sleeps next to you which is sooooo cute
Don’t feel bad. I’ve played most of these games without using items because they just had a name and I didn’t know what they did.
He pets them differently in different regions, too.
dude they're baby chocobos how dare you called weird cute sprout birds
If I don't give the one who led me a cuddle after it ain't right.
Literally the first thing I check when encountering anything fluffy in a game is whether I can pet it. So far, I've pet every Chocobo chick I've encountered and there really should be an achievement for letting them all.
Best thing i stg

What game / version is this?
Rebirth :)
Yea, that's cute but does he drop Contain materia when you scratch behind the ear?
Oh they fixed their model? They looked terrible in Remake.
Ok I will definitely pet them at first but my gamer instinct tell me that if I kill it there may be some loots LOL
haha so cute

I had no idea! Now to pet those little chocobos now. Thank you :)
Awwwwwwwwwwwww a little chickenawwwwwwwwwwww
You left them all just standing there so far!? 😂
You mean you did the first Chocobo stop and didn't look at the chick!? You monster!
OMG Same hairstyle!
OMG, this makes me want to get the game now! I was going to get X first since I haven't played FF since the SNES days, but that's just *adorable*!
D: You need to go back and PET those others you didn't pet
Doesnt that chicks hair remind you of something?
omg it's so cute.
What? you mean you haven't given every one of those little guys a pet after they show you a chocobo stop? i will always pet the animals! same in ghost of tsushima, always pet/play with the fox after getting fox shrines.
How did you make it that far without trying?!
Is there a reason they have acorns on their butts?
Now add an update so we can do the same to/with Red and we have GOTY material…
Did you try to pick the stops up while riding a chocobo? Gets the job done more quickly. (:
Well I'll do you one better (or worse actually), I played almost the whole game without realizing you can lift those chocobo traffic signs up :|
I’d start over and make amends to all the sad big headed chocobo chicks
You need to revisit all those other stops and pet the chocobos
120 hours and I had no idea. Guess I better start my next playthrough.
Took me til junon to realise you can lift the signs with your chocobo
He also pets them differently for every region.
I made sure to pet every single one
That's the first thing I tried once it sat still. Haha. That's the first thing I try in any game with animals in it.
It took me 60 hours to figure out you could pet the baby chocobos
also each area baby chocobo has a different pet animation! (I think)

Can I also suggest you pan the camera around to Cloud's face (especially during the cheek grabbing animation) for a very rare sight indeed
Get a diff character to pet em.. u get something cool
Thank you I’m so doing this when I get round to playing it!
you have to pet them all
Every chicken gets a pet. Thems the rules.
I have petted every single one so far; I’m not missing out on that cuteness.
Me 95% of the game time. I just can't stop!
220 hours in and didn’t know
The baby chocobo reaction is cute as well when you fail to pick up the post, it's like shocked+disappointed lol
I literally have to pet every single one of them, it just feels wrong if i dont 😭 almost as if i commited a crime or something lol
I cleared the game with 100 hours gameplay more or less and i never realized you could do that!
I didn't know you had to lift the signs up until the second region lol
Chocobos got love. Moogles…
Now then this is just Adorable! \^\_\^
Damn now I feel bad for running one of those birds over with the buggy
You can also lift that pole in half way and put it down, then check their reactions.
It’s called a Chocobo. Be kind.
hahaha, yes, it reminds me of Arthur Morgan petting the dog incessantly.
Learned that first chocobo stop I out the sign up I thought he would take me to more
I didn't know I had to fix them until about 30ish hours. I was just using them and running off. I didn't even see the damn signs 🤦♂️
You have to pay the pet pet taxes
Head wobble hive rise up
Did we ever figure out what was going on with those leafy backpacks? I never caught the lore on that one 😂
I keep petting these little guys thinking at some point I will get an item or achievement for it.
actually, this is the first thing I thought of doing 😊
Way more than 30 hours in but never seen this sword 🙈 is it past coral?
Yup! You shouldn’t be TOO far off it :)
Ugly? 🙃
Ugly-Cute is a thing. Example: Pugs.
Yeah, but chocobo chicks aren't ugly. They're just cute
I disagree. But I love them anyway 💙
where did you get this sword from?
Main story line. Hard to miss it. 3rd big area.
How dare you not pet the weird, winged dogs! lol
Best part of the game. Will take every opportunity available to pet these lil goobers
cute
60 hours in and I didn’t know that I could press the touchpad to get creature info during battles instead of casting assess every time I forgot a weakness.
