What's your least favorite (Yellow) Chocobo Theme?

I'd have to go with the one from FFVI. Techno De Chocobo really was disappointing. It wasn't the worst song that Uematsu has composed, but it still didn't fit well with the game's setting. For some reason I just hear techno beeps and bops and some other weird stuff I can't describe.. Once I rode my second Chocobo, I was stunned at how terrible the song turned out that I had to mute until I got off the Chocobo.. That made me sad..


Worst to best so far from what I played:
FFVI, FFVIII, FFVII, FFIX, FFII, FFIII, FFIV, FFV

Weird, Techno De Chocobo ties with IX's H&C music to be my favorite Chocobo tune in the series.

My least favorite is probably II's. It was just bland and uncomplex compared to virtually every other Chocobo Song in the series.

Yeah, FF II's wasn't that great and it was too repetative, but it did lay down the goundwork for later compositions. My least favourite was actually FF X's chocobo theme. I thought it was unispired and uninteresting, but then most of FF X's music could be described that way IMO.

I like all the Chocobo themes in their own way, though they aren't terribly different from each other, in my opinion.

Ukelele de Chocobo, which, I believe, is the chocobo-riding overworld theme. Man, that's some fun experimentation that gives a nice tropical feel. That's my favorite, but I'm partial to all the ones I've heard -- none really standout as sloppy or poorly made.

I really hated what they did with the Chocobo theme in FFX

It just didn't mesh well IMO

FFII, since it hadn't begun to be complex then, and FFVIII, ironically seeing that it has one of my favorite soundtracks. I just couldn't hear the old chocobo theme in it. Meh.

FFVI was just wierd. I have never heard II's because I didn't have enough patients to get through that, and I didn't have III because I had a rom, but it was deleted, and while I had the rom, the speakers weren't working.

Sure VI was weird,

But i'd have to say my least favorite whould be "Fiddle de Chocobo" from FFVII. I just hate that country sound it has.

Yeah that one did suck. It was a little annoying in the Chocobo Racing thing, but I ignored it since I don't pay much attention to music during minigames =P

I prefer the chocobo riding theme though.

Considering that we had to do Chocobo Racing so much we lost about a month of our lives, it's understandable that that theme will get to us. -CSM

This is by far, the best chocobo remix song I have ever found.

I did not like X's, and VII's was almost as annoying.

id have to say that FFVIII's Mods de Chocobo is my least favorite but FFX's Brass de CHocobo is pretty sweet with the Jazz music.

My least favorites were VI because techno doesn't sound good and VIII because that didn't sound right either.
