| '''''Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon'''''{{UT}} {{JA|''チョコボの不思議なダンジョン''|Chokobo no Fushigi na Dungeon}} is a spin-off game from the ''Chocobo'' series developed and published by SquareSoft on Sony {{Meta|PlayStation}} in 1997 in Japan. The game also received a port on {{Meta|Bandai}} {{Meta|WonderSwan}} in 1999 as well as multiple re-releases. It is part of the first set of the ''{{FinalFantasy|Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon}}'' series.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| ''Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon'' is a roguelike game in which you control the franchise's mascot character {{FinalFantasy|Chocobo}}, that appears in the ''{{Meta|Final Fantasy}}'' series to explore mysterious dungeons.
| |
| | |
| ==Plot==
| |
| The main characters, Chocobo, and {{FinalFantasy|Moogle Atla}} visit a village. At that time, a farmer in the village who was cultivating the field accidentally digs up a mysterious amethyst that grows by absorbing desires, and his soul is taken in. At the same time, a mysterious dungeon appeared in the village, and Chocobo dived into a mysterious dungeon to rescue {{FinalFantasy|Kamira}}.
| |
| | |
| The story is divided into three stages, and later Atla is also incorporated into the amethyst. After clearing the first and second dungeons, the ending will flow and move to the next dungeon, alike to {{Meta|Enix}}'s ''{{DragonQuest|Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon}}''.
| |
| | |
| ==Development==
| |
| Between Kazuhiko Aoki, the game's director, of Square at that time and Koichi Nakamura of Chunsoft, the former company were working on their first ''Mystery Dungeon'' title. However, Chunsoft was not involved in the development of this work, it was jointly developed by Square and Banpresto, while being supervised by Nakamura for production advice. In this series, the title is no longer "Fushigi no Dungeon" due to the feeling of words, but it has been changed to "Fushigina Dungeon" with the consent of Nakamura.
| |
|
| |
|
| Following the world view of the ''Final Fantasy'' series, familiar monsters appear in this title, and its successors. However, unlike the mainline series, it builds a unique world view where mainly animal and monster characters live side by side, without humans. It features a character design deformed by Banpresto staff, Toshiyuki Itahana, who was in charge of character design. He was later transferred from Banpresto to Square after this work.

| | __NOTOC__ |
|
| |
|
| In addition to the basic elements of roguelike games, the familiar ATB system and summoning magic of the ''Final Fantasy'' series are adopted. The feeling of the ''Mystery Dungeon'' series is deep-rooted, and there are also collection elements such as collecting items, synthesizing and strengthening equipment, and completing a monster pictorial book rather than advancing the story.
