What Does the Chocobo Say?

[MJN SEIFER]

I don't care what the so called "correct" answer is. I have ears and my ears say that the "correct" answer is wrong.

If you listen to the games, it's very clear that, "wark," is what they're saying, regardless of whether the text says, "wark" or "kweh." .

It does depend on the game for me; in FFIX it does sound closer to "kweh". In FFVII it only really sounds like "wark" when the chocobo is angry with someone. When they are normal, it comes out kinda like "hole", but not exactly - kind of "ho-ole", but that doesn't work as an animal sound so they can't use that. When they are supposed to be excited it comes out like "woppie-woo" of all things to me. So ultimately it's how it sounds to you, and often times even real animal sounds don't always sound exactly right to me.

Strange I know.
