Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales

The game features a card-based combat system as well as multiplayer support. Using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, two to four players may team up for battles or to participate in mini-games.

Gameplay consists of exploring the environment to find picture books. The player is transported into the pop-up worlds of the book must complete different mini-games to unlock the next part of the story, new cards, chocobos, and books.

The stories in the books are mostly based on classical fairy tales, but are adapted to suit the Final Fantasy universe. The stories' protagonists are chocobos and other Final Fantasy creatures.

Throughout the world of Chocobo Tales are hidden micro-games, which are more simplistic mini-games. These are not located in pop-up books and are not required for the progress of the game.

The player may also participate in Pop-up Duels through the use of pop-up cards.
