    The only reason to keep Boco is for sentimental purposes or if you're attempting to have your entire party of 16 formed by non-generic characters (this would mean also keeping Rad, Lavian, and Alicia). In terms of actual battle utility, a yellow chocobo is certainly nothing to get excited about.

    I've kept him, and i'm sure in FF5 it wasn't spelt Boko, it was Boco.

    Well, Matt89, you're wrong. Don't be so sure. I own FFV and it is Boko.

    Just to make sure I wasn't wrong I loaded up my FFV and started a new game. Its Boko. If that isn't proof enough heres 2 excerpts from other people who wrote FAQs for GameFAQs.com.

He warns his young daughter (who has also felt the disturbance in the force) not to follow him and flies off to the Wind Crystal.The scene then cuts to our hero, who is camped out in a field with his faithful Chocobo named Boko. As he awakes from a night of sleeping face down on theground, a huge crashing noise can be heard. A giant meteor has plummeted from the sky abov
    This is another found in another FFV FAQ about FFV's Vehicles. Yes, the author's pen name was Boko.

You can also pass by some small water canals with Boko, later in the game he finds Koko, falls in love with her, and has three childs.
    If this doesn't convince you I'm right then go play it yourself.

    I hardly think we can meaningfully debate the varied spelling of names that are translated from Japanese anyway, especially since the difference between Boco and Boko is completely negligible. While I doubt it is intended to be the same chocobo, it's clearly a recurring name in the series.

    I just don't take kindly to people telling me I'm wrong when I'm right. I was just defending myself.

    its boko in 5 boco in tactics, anyways, my oppinion on wiegraf and boco, he had a zodiac stone, why on earth would he need that chocobo anymore? and because he IS useless and its just a re-accuring thing, like Cid, only in FFT hes T.G. Cid, one could make the same argument as with boko/boco so just let it go, maybe they changed a few things so completely sleightly.

    none of us is ever really right.

    Anyway, it can't be the same chocobo because Boco in ff5 is good and he wouldn't let Wiegraf ride him around.

    Maybe the money is good. He does have a family to feed, after all.

    There's also the fact that the games aren't based on the same world. The more likely reason for it not being the same Chocobo.

    As for the earlier debated matter of "Boko" and "Boco," it was translated from Japanese. The difference of one letter is hardly relevant. For that matter, Kefka's name was spelled as "Cefca" in even some official materials. "Edea" from VIII was "Idea." The world of Final Fantasy VII has been revealed by a pamphlet released at the last E3 to be named "Gaia" with an "ai," yet in the game, the icy cliffs at the top of the world are called "Gaea's Cliffs." But it's irrelevant because "ai" and "ae" have the same phoenetic value depending on the language and/or dialect in use.

    Phoenetic values are all that are relevant in this matters.

    ...do you think in the world of Final Fantasy they have chocobo pot pies? I don't know...it just seems interesting to think about...or it means that I need to get a life *looks at t.v. screen* never mind I have 3 lives...d'oh...2 lives

    (just to be relevant to the conversation, I kept Boco just because I like having the simple monsters such as yellow chocobo, blue bull demon, peach pig thing)

    actualy IMHO wiegraf was a good guy at the beggining he was sick of the nobles and there crap he even tried to help Teta it was just his hate for nobles consumed him and he turned evil which is why boco left him

    .....

    Boco in FFV has no relation to Boco in FFTactics. It's just that the developers wanted to reuse the name. Besides, what's a game without a few unanswered questions. Just as in previous FF's there's always unanswered questions. Oh well... I just wish they'd do an honest sequel already. I'm getting a little impatient about it... Squenix, please do a sequel!!!
