in which Final Fantasy is discovered to be a computer game

[marnanel]

Today someone made a reference I didn't get to something called a chockoboo (I think). I looked confused, and they said, "Have you heard of Final Fantasy?" "Yes," I said, "but I'm not sure what it is. A film, maybe, or a computer game?" There followed a great deal of explanation which I have now forgotten because I have no context to attach it to, except that FF is a large series of complicated computer games and that chockoboos are important in some of them. I think they must have explained what a chockoboo actually *is*, but if they did I forgot it.

The main takeaway, however, was an alarming realisation that I do this too, to almost everyone I meet.

I haven't played them either, but I understand that they are vaguely like a very cute large rideable ostrich-chicken, which you have to play complicated breeding games with for some game-related benefit.

If it helps, there was also a Final Fantasy movie.

It was...not good.
