In both FFX and X-2 you can ride both an airship and chocobo, lets say this was acutally real. Would you use an airship to get around or chocobo? Here are some reasons for why you should choose the airship: Faster than a chocobo, has weapons incase any unexpected fiends pop up, and it's big so you can run around with your friends. Here are reasons for why you should choose a chocobo: awww it's so cute, haha, even though the airship is faster, a chocobo would definitely be a more enjoyable ride, and chocobos can be your friend biggrin.gif . So chocobo or airship?

The chocobo is definitely my choice and exactly for the reasons you said: it's cute, it's more enjoyable to ride on and it's friendly. smile.gif

Heh, that's easy: the chocobo. I'm scared of heights, and that includes flying airplanes ("airships" ^^ ). But it would have to be a tamed and loyal one, not one of those unpredictable, stubborn chocobo beasties. Then I'd rather walk .
real_1)eviance
Hehe, I agree with you all, a chocobo is definitely more reliable than a airship. An airship needs attention with the engine(s) and such, but a chocobo, you just gotta be a good friend to it, if chocobos were real, I would train it to be like one of the chocobos from the crusaders, but only for unexpected circumstances, not like to help fight nazis in a war or anything.

i call dibs on the airship.... airships can go jus bout newhere...
but in ff7 chocobos got the airship beat cuz it can go everywhere..
airship is faster means of transportation..
Demonwing
Golden Chocobo which can fly and walk on water!
Pesmerga
Choco and as a matter of fact, he outruns enemies, cause you never got in a fight when running on one of these wink.gif

So yeah, Chocobo for me.

Can you elaborate? blink.gif (to be honest I don't remember getting a golden chocobo)

Anyhoo's to be really honest, I prefer walking. It get's me pumped up knowing I can kick the fiends butt whenever an unexpected battle comes up. Training is good when you're in big open areas and there's alot of walking. o.<

But if I had to choose, it would have to be the chocobo, it was more free lanced I guess than on the airship. plus travelling around was to me a lot easier with the chocobo, you can enter little places that were around and about than just being dropped off by an airship. =/

I guess he/she means the one on Final Fantasy 7. They had those things. =x

Anyhow, I like the Chocobo's, but I prefer the ships more. They move a bit more faster for me. But walking like Winnie said is always cool. you can explore, and you'll be fighting in battles pretty much all that time. =P Haha. It passes time, but that is about it. Wanna move fast? Get an Airship. =)

Oh well, I've always thought one of the highlights of the games is when you get the airship and can go anywhere you want. The upside with the airship is that it's big enough to hold all of your friends, and you can run around and talk to them and such.
Yuna and the other girls room on the ship in FFX-2 for example was a place I liked to visit some times.
Chocobos are fun to ride, but I prefer having an airship. =p
Lady Skye
I go with the chocobo because it's a big chicken, and chickens rock. Besides airships are to big anyway . smile.gif
NeoN
That is a first. I have never thought of it before. My preferred choice is the Airship. I am not such a huge fan of Chocobos but that will change once I start breeding them in Final Fantasy VII, have not gotten to that part yet - about to start disk 2. I am one who is into technology and astronomy so I prefer airship over chocobo.

I totally agree with you happy.gif

Chiocobos are nice and cute... but an airship is just... woah!! awesome!!!!


I'd prefer the airship

A solution to this problem would be FFVII Highwind... because you can take your Chocobo with you in it happy.gif

It would be nice to have an airship like that again
Pesmerga
FFX-2 had it, heck you had 3 chocobos in it ^^

Anyway, as Hiku said, getting my ship and exploring maps was one of the highlighted moments for me, but since thos question was like: what if in real life...

I'd still go for Chocobos, they just rule and although they can't get everywhere, except for the Golden Chocobos, I rather ride this fluffy, cute, yellow ostrich wannabe then.

CHOCOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are so sweet and kind!!!!!!!Its better!!!!!!!
doriscrockford
Chocobo - you get the spontaneity of random battles
- they're yellow and cheerful biggrin.gif
- you can bond with it!
- you can have chocobo races
- airship is so tame and boring, and someone else is always driving it.
Millay
Chocobo for me! So Cute! And They Are So Funny and Kind! I love that chocobo song!
cadaver
airship for me. it's quicker, and you can explore more of the world map easier with it.
Unholy Sasuke
In terms of travel, I would choose an airship, but in terms of an adventure, a chocobo would be better, feeling the air breeze etc, danger lurking about, that's what makes it fun lol The only event which I do not want to meet would be like FFVII where you have to run past the swamp with those big snakes lurking about X_X

That is the best as you are getting the best of both worlds, well at least that is how I feel about it. I got to fly in the Highwind over the weekend seeing as I finally got to play Disk 2. I just finished saving Corel and am headed for Fort Condor. I hope to start the Chocobo breeding thing soon and really get into it.
Tidus's-luck-charm
I think a airship would do for me.i one of those people that got a need for speed.
but dont get me worry i love chocobos but if i had no airship sorry again i would chose running for life away from fiends.

sorry all u chocobo lovers out there my final thought is that airships r better

(for me ofcouse) smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif
Maru~takahashi
Chocobo all the way! No matter what. Plus the air ship and gullwing look really wierd.
Ragnarok
I would probably rather take an airship. Mostly because I would fear hurting my member riding those chocobo's. A Chocobo would be a cool pet though. But a much smoother ride with an airship.
Noyps2
Airship, ive always been one to get where im going as fast as I can. Chocobo's are fast dont get me wrong, but they cant cut so much ground completly free as the airships can. And the airship music owns. smile.gif
Final Fantasist
OMG, i didn't noticed this topic before XDD.

So late, but anyway, i like both for different reasons:

Arship: Great theme song XD, it's faster and i can go anywhere with it, well, ALMOST anywhere, when i can land that is =p

Chocobo, great theme song again XD, and with a golden one, i can really go anywhere, but i can't fly.
yuna16
that would be a difficult dicission because chocobos are just so cute!!!! biggrin.gif I like the airship to cuz i like flying, and i would like to take my friends with me.

Yeah i think i would choose the chocobo>>>>>> cuteness wins!!!!
Marl
Airship

Let's see...

Large Chicken vs. Hulk of Metal that in some games drops bombs...

I doubt choco's have some innate "DEATH TO ALL" ability...

But they are cuddly... happy.gif

Airships > Chocobo in the woooooo-lets-ride-all-'round-the-world factor. Most definately. Its a lot more convenient and just all around faster to transport from place to place. There's a hidden message in this, kids. ; - ; MACHINES ARE TAKING OVER OUR GIANT-CHICKENS~

Chocobo > Airship in the kute factor. Oooohyes~
Blue_Moomba
Chocobo, chocobo, chocobo! They're the best! They're warm and cuddly. happy.gif
( I think/hope.) And they've got to be fun to ride! I'd choose the chocobo anyday, dude/dudette.

Chocobo is so cute. I love it when the cry. So cute. I'll go with chocobo.
LagunaWannabe
I'm an airship kinda person, I like the mobility and the no-battles. If I wanted a cute Chocobo, then I'd tape a picture of a chocobo to the front of my Television screen, but when i wanna get somewhere I want an airship. lol
yuna16
Now that i think of it.......dont those chocoboes have that meteor attack? Airships maybe able to drop bombs, but id rather drop meteors! biggrin.gif Although that airship can get to some places that a chocobo cant. i'm so torn!!!! mad.gif
Xianyloanthe
god i so want a chocobo!!! but would i really own one in real life? thats like asking me if i want me a horse or a car. as much as i love me the livestock i hate to clean up after them. doodey >.<! so yeah if this were a choice betten car and horse i'd have to pick pony, yeah thats right a red one, two doors rims and a sunroof baby!

bring on the airship!!! easier to maintain and hey i wouldnt feel badly abandoning a hunk of metal somewhere as opposed to some stupid oversized chicken i'd always be just a little too tempted to eat.

Wha?!
Its like a pet! No matter how tasty my cat looks, I'd never be tempted to eat it.
Resonance
I'd pick the chocobo. I'm an animal lover, and if chocobo's were real I'd rather have a pet choco to raise and ride around on.

I'd use airships still sometimes depending on the distance, but I'd still prefer using my trusty yellow turkey whenever possible. =)
Archaic God
Definitely the airship, its a lot quicker to get around.
GoddessSubaru
I would try both. Chocobos are cute, and on the ground. But the airship is large, and looks amazing. Not to mention more cofortable.
Goddess_Dawn
I love the cute and adorable chocobos, but I love my cute adorable airships too...

But since I'm one in real life, I guess I'll stick with my pedistrian(sp?) ways. It is good training after all^_^

That put a smile on my face. Most of the time in a Final Fantasy game, I am walking around anyway, the ship and chocobo come later. With the new combat system in Final Fantasy XII, the pedestrian life will be much different.
rena
Chocobo is so cute and it would be more enjoable to ride him
then some airship

But on other side I couldn't go every place on earth with chocobo
and I could with an airship

So I like both two ways

I guess I would have an chocobo on airship smile.gif
