Thread: Favourite Chocobo onomatopoeia?

  1. #1

    Default Favourite Chocobo onomatopoeia?

    I prefer "Wark!".

    How about you?

    (As Kawaii Ryűkishi has pointed out, "Kweh!" is what it's always been in Japanese... "Kue" to be exact. A dummied out dialogue box in the U.S. SNES ROM of Final Fantasy III also contains "Kue!")

    Kweh makes absolutely no sense, I mean ho matter how many times I say kweh it just doesn't sound like a chocobo, or any form of bird for that matter. Sounds more like a foreign version of "HUH!?"

    So, wark.

    EDIT: lol I voted for kweh by accident

    It's always been kweh (or "ku-eh") in the Japanese games.

    Kweh looks better as a word to me. The noise a chocobo makes sounds like "Wark" to me, though.

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
