You know how each game with a chocobo usually has its own variation of the theme music that plays when you ride one? I want to hear which versions are people's favorites. Mine is unironically Crazy Chocobo from FFXIII-2 (because come on, heavy metal version that is simultaneously awesome and hilarious), followed closely by Brass de Chocobo from FFX.
i think my fave is mods de chocobo from ff8 and pulse de chocobo from ff13, FF15's chocobo theme (sadly named chocobo theme braking the "de chocobo" tridition,i name it lucis de chocobo :P) is nice
I don't know if it really counts since it's a mini-game and not just normally riding the chocobo in the overworld, but...
Vamo' Alla Flamenco from FFIX. Especially the version done by The Black Mages.
If we're specifically picking from overworld themes, then Ukulele de Chocobo, also from FFIX.
I admit I have a soft spot for FFXIV's own Bo Down (the 'western' themed version used for the Chocoporter and rental chocobos). Also the Gold Saucer chocobo racing theme Sport of Kings and the GATE theme Gateway to Paradise are actually remixes of the FFVII chocobo themes Fiddle de Chocobo and Electric de Chocobo respectively (the later which is one of my favourites).
FFXIII's Chocobos of Cocoon is a unique twist though - it's a pop song with earworm lyrics. ;) FFVIII's Mods de Chocobo (featuring a cameo from Uematsu's own Fender Telecaster guitar no less), FFVI's Techno de Chocobo and FFX's Brass de Chocobo were also very good. :D
FFX, FFXIII(the pulse one) and FFXIII-2 for shits and giggles
VIII's my favorite overall. XII also gets its place on my list because I just love Hitoshi Sakimoto and his arrangement is delightful. But yeah, Vamo' alla Flamenco, IF ONLY were an "official" Chocobo theme, it'd be my favorite hands down.
Hands down my favorite is Electric de Chocobo, or as I prefer calling it Surf de Chocobo because it always just puts an image of a surfing chocobo which sounds awesome and hilarious, so it always puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it.
Second best has to be Dash de Chocobo from XI, it's so calm and chill for a chocobo theme, but that made it so nice when traveling to party points or wherever.
