Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi reckons chocobo smell like horses.
Chocobo are the giant yellow birds seen across the Final Fantasy series as steeds for various characters. So when Hamaguchi was asked by Game Informer if they smell bad, he replied: “It might be similar to a horse”.
To be honest, I would’ve assumed they smell more like a chicken, but a horse certainly makes sense. The real question, though, is what do moogle smell like? I’d say probably nuts.
