Chocobo and Cid are soon "rescued" by a White Mage named Shirma, who then takes them to a farm that she lives on with her aunt, Stella. Shirma advises Cid not to force himself to remember while they get settled at her home. In the meantime, she asks Chocobo if he had seen her sister, only to have forgotten what she looked like or her name.

That night, the entire town is mysteriously incapable of using its fire. The citizens were gathered at the piazza to discuss the predicament when a strange, comet-like object falls out of the sky and crashes. When Chocobo and Shirma come closer to investigate, it is revealed to be an egg. The egg hatches into a baby boy named Raffaello, who has the strange ability to create dungeons out of people's memories. For some reason, Mayor Gale seems to know his name, even though he has never seen him before. The baby opens a vortex to the mayor's memories and goes inside. Chocobo picks up an puzzle-shaped object, the Brooch of Memories, found in the broken egg and follows him into the dungeon. After restoring Mayor Gale's memories, the group, with baby in tow, return to the farm to restore Cid's memories.

The following morning, Raffaello disappears from the house. Shirma and Chocobo set out to find the missing baby. Near the mines, Chocobo meets Freja, the town blacksmith, who has just recently lost her memory. When her memories returned, the town suddenly regains its use of fire. The baby Raffaello uses his powers to expose a large, bird-shaped opening in the Fuego Mines. While the girls are astounded by what happened, the baby crawls inside. Chocobo enters the dungeon, only to be stopped by a barrier halfway through.

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon (Japanese: チョコボの不思議なダンジョン 時忘れの迷宮, Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Labyrinth of Forgotten Time) is a dungeon RPG for the Wii, and retains a gameplay similar to Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon and Chocobo's Dungeon 2. It was released in Japan in 2007 and later worldwide in 2008. A port to the Nintendo DS was also released in Japan titled Cid and Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Labyrinth of Forgotten Time DS+. In September of 2018, Square Enix announced a remaster called Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy!, which was released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2019.

Gameplay

Gameplay takes place in randomly created labyrinths filled with lurking monsters and items waiting to be found. The more famous monsters of Final Fantasy, such as Ifrit, Behemoth, Tonberry and others, make appearances as bosses that Chocobo must fight and defeat in order to save the memories of the residents. In the Japanese version, there is a boss named Belial-V, named after the Japanese gaming magazine V-Jump. the game also utilizes the job system used by many other Final Fantasy games, allowing the player to chose between multiple unlockable jobs that change the players stats and abilities.

Plot

The story begins with Chocobo and Cid entering the Tower in the Sands searching for a valuable treasure known as Timeless Power. Upon reaching the top, they discover that Irma and Volg have just taken the treasure, only for the gem to mysteriously teleport them to the town of Lostime, the capital of the long lost country of Memoria. Upon arrival, they are greeted by the town's mayor, Gale Rosage, who is likewise puzzled at their situation. Cid wondered where Irma and Volg had vanished before realizing that Irma had made off with his treasure. As if sensing his anger, the bell from the clocktower rings, creating a strange vortex over his head. When the vortex vanished, Cid begins to question everything, even his name. Mayor Gale explains to Chocobo that whenever the bell rings, anyone who hears it will lose their memories. He claims that forgetting is a virtue and one could do without all the negative thoughts and emotions holding them down.
