New Games on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us Chocobo Tales follows a story from a Chocobo's point of view. In the story, an evil book's been opened and almost all the Chocobos have been sucked into the pages. One was spared. You are this Chocobo. It's up to you to save your friends from the bookworld by performing tasks and playing mini games that propel the story forward.

The RPG portion takes place in full 3D, with a style and visual appeal that's to be expected from Final Fantasy. But when Chocobo gets sent into the book, the game takes on a very unique style all its own. It's very smililar to a pop-up book which almost looks like it was drawn with crayons.

With Chocobo Tales, Toshiyuki Itahana, of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles fame, brings his signature character design stylings to the tale of a chocobo's journey through a land of fairytales. Creatures from the by-now familiar FF bestiary take on roles in Aesop and Brothers Grimm tales--like the Tortoise and the Hare becoming the Adamantoise and the Cactuar--in Square Enix's chocobo-themed take on familiar childhood yarns.
