What gender is your chocobo?Follow

Last night my chocobo (Kiwi) finally gained another level and I mentioned in FC chat that she was now level 6. Someone then said: "Your chocobo is a girl?" This led to a discussion about chocobo genders. Some answers were instant and obvious, 'Manboobs' is male, 'Serenity' is female, etc, but some people had to think about it.

So I ask here. What gender is your chocobo, and did you have to think about it before answering?

I believe it's been said at the outset that all personal chocobos are male. We'll understand why once they add breeding sometime in the future.

Indeed, the cutscene introducing chocobos uses male pronouns.

That said, I have that tendency anyway, so they'd probably be male regardless. Reminds me Shen's chocobo really needs a proper name...

I would assume for the same reason that most warhorses were stallions for a certain period of history, larger and more violent. Obviously as time went on people figured out that mares were typically faster and geldings could pull their own weight regardless of testosterone...

Maybe Eorzea hasn't gotten to that point yet. Or maybe female Choco's have unique personality quirks or something. ^.^

Call me unoriginal, but I named mine Flammie (don't look at me funny, I loved that character!)

And to be honest, I don't remember if the original Flammie was male or female... it has been so long since I played SoM.

Male. I named him Ghost, after my dog.

From Ishgard Lore, weren't they only letting male chocobos outside the city so that the outsiders can't breed chocobos?

From what I remember, that`s what the chocobo breeders say when you rescue that one female chocobo's egg (the one with the moogle in the quest line)

My chocobo Fluffy was a bit um... special anyhow. I'd feel bad if i thought of him in any other way than male.

I didn't have any specific gender in mind and still haven't really thought about its sex. I traditionally name mounts after Mediterranean winds and given my char is a Highlander in game I figured Tramontane was most fitting this time around!
