You’ll always meet a Cid and crystals are always involved.

There are also always chocobos.

Big old birds that the occupants of Final Fantasy’s worlds use as mounts.

Since Final Fantasy has been running for so long, the appearance of chocobos has changed quite a bit.

Red XIII and King Mickey are the latest characters to be turned into knitted plushes.

It’s going to be a while before you’re free to give it a little squeeze.

Square Enix has turned its adorable chocobo design into one of its knitted corduroy plushes. A far more calming color than your typical chocobo yellow with an orange beak and matching orange feet.

Hopefully that means bringing it forward rather than pushing it back should the date need to change.

Final Fantasy Corduroy Chocobo Plush

If you need a chocobo plush before then,Square Enix still has pre-orders for its cube plushes available.

Interesting that we’ll have had all three of those before our corduroy chocobos get here.

Good job it looks like they’re worth the wait.
