    It's chocobo, as in, choke. They say the actual word in the games. Not sure what it is in Japanese.

    It's spelled Chocobo, and I think it was pronounced like "choke-oh-bow" in FFX.

    Yeah. Kiyuri from FFX says "Choke-a-bow" That's what I always went with.

    It's not Kiyuri, just someone with the same character model. Kiyuri's on the S.S. Winno. The woman in the Power Room with the chocobos is on the S.S. Liki.

    I say choc-a-bo, with the 'choc' as in 'choc'olate.

    Cho-co-bo. Chocobo. I don't see what's difficult about it.

    I've always pronounced it choke-uh-bow. I remember reading for the first time somewhere on Gamespot's wonderful boards a big rant about how it's pronounced similar to chocolate like "chawk-uh-bow" and the characters in X were saying it wrong It was kinda weird because I've never even thought of pronouncing it another way.

    Anyway, we've heard the word voice-acted now, not much to debate about I dun think.

    Cho co bo

    Any other pronunciation is WRONG.

    They've canonically established this and it's only ever been pronounced this way.

    You can hear the correct pronunciation FFVI and FFX.

    It's not chalk-a-bo. Consider it your civic duty to dope-slap anyone who pronounces it like that.

    ive always said it choc-o-bo not choke-a-bow. but im quite sure the choke-a-bow one is the correct way to pronounce it.
