You are an amazing person.

I'd have preferred it without the lyrics actually, but whatyagonnado^TM.
I like that there's more than one chocobo theme, 3 that I've seen. Maybe more?

[Jessweeee♪]

Yeah, a Golden Saucer like place has been hinted at, and "chocobucks" implies to me that this is where that is, so I think they have like a chocobo equivalent to monster truck rallies and that's why the lyrics are so over the top. Or maybe like, professional chocobo racing?

You better not be lying. FFXIII-2 is shaping up to be the FF FFXIII should have been.

Wrestling. I meant professional chocobo wrestling.

[Laddy]

Final Fantasy got 200% manlier.

Why would Squenix do this? What a titty idea. This is smurfing hilarious, I can't stop laughing.

Here's footage of this embarrassing crap.

[Jessweeee♪]

Oh god this is going to be even more misunderstood than the laughing scene, isn't it? I can just see it now, no one will see it for the kind of funny parody it is and think this is Uematsu's genuine attempt at a metal masterpiece.

[Sylvie]

I think it's hilarious because it's stupid as tit, regardless of the intentions.

But out of curiosity, what proof do you have that Square-Enix isn't trying to be badass/cool? What's the parody? I'm not saying it's an attempt at a masterpiece, but I don't see why they would incorporate this kind of stupid crap as a joke when most of the target audience probably isn't going to understand the humor.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I like it. You can't go wrong with chocobo.

[CimminyCricket]

I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at a chocobo without thinking of whether or not I'm bad enough to ride it.

[Jiro]

I hope I'm a bad enough dude

I don't think it's hard to understand. "Ha ha! It is a song about how this cute fluffy bird is a bad ass out of hell."

[Sylvie]

I don't think the majority of the fanbase is going to assume that Square-Enix put this Limp Bizkit atrocity into the game as some sort of tongue-in-cheek joke. We might find it funny in that way, but I think a lot of people who are buying Final Fantasy games are children and less well-humored people. I think this is the same angle that was attempted when Rammstein was included in the Final Fantasy X soundtrack. Like, trying to be relatable. Young people like rap-rock/nu-metal and cheap death metal. They even tried introducing a black guy in Final Fantasy VII and I can't think of a single aspect of Barret's character that isn't a ham-fisted racial slur in some manner.

I'm still convinced that the company has no idea what they're doing.

[Jessweeee♪]

But Rammstein was not in FFX. Uematsu composed that and some guy named Bill Muir, a man from a straight edge bluegrass band in Kansas sang it
