This game is so freaking adorable!

This is my first time playing a mystery dungeon style game, but it was a lot of fun! You play as cute little chocobo who wound up in a town where no one can remember anything. You travel into their minds, which are randomly generated dungeons, and fight monsters and bosses to restore their memories.

The gameplay can get a little bit repetitive, but it stays fresh unlocking new buddies and classes. Your chocobo can use many different classic Final Fantasy classes (such as Knight, Black Mage, White Mage etc.) that changes their move set a bit as you level it. You can also unlock buddies that act as a party member to aid you on your adventures! These can be acquired from either finishing story and special side missions, or taming enemies after defeating a certain amount of them.

Honestly the cuteness alone kept me going back to this game. It is a very cozy little Final Fantasy themed game!

The music in it is also really good! It's a compilation of new song arrangements from other Final Fantasy games.

If you like chocobos or mystery dungeon games, definitely give it a try!

A remaster of a cute Mystery Dungeon Wii game. Dialogues and plot feels a little like a chore, but beside that the gameplay is nice.

Honestly, this game lost my interest about 2 hours in. The dungeons all felt the same and most of the enemies weren't very interesting mechanically. I can see how some people might enjoy the chill and silly story/atmosphere but there wasn't enough there to keep me interested.

Chocobo on a swing? Chocobo swimming? Chocobo just existing and being cute + a mystery dungeon? Peak game

For a game that is seemingly too “fun” and “friendly”, this game can be quite unforgiving in difficulty and a bit dark in story. Until you learn the ropes of the game, I cannot imagine a child getting around the first few dungeons. The challenge becomes more manageable and fun, however, as you progress through the game, unlocking several jobs in the process.

The Chocobo franchise was my entry point to the endless rabbit hole of the world of Final Fantasy. This game specifically sealed that deal.
