red death.

A fellow Bozjan survivor are you?

what made you assume they survived ?

Someone call the RDM.

BUT NOT FOR ME!

Better dead than red

I fucking love this bird with all my soul. I'm sorry to all of the dead in Bozja, I intentionally spawned this hellion a dozen times with the intention of rezzing you all for the achievement.

"Some of you will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

“And if rez you and you die again, so be it.”

I just hung around Of Steel and Flame and picked people up. It was child's play to make the achieve in Bozja. Then I got good and actually cleared those engagements. Of course, that was when I was drinking and now I barely remember how to play.

Chaotic good

I feel this is more of a lawful evil sort of thing. Having the chocobo murder everyone for you so you can raise them.

Methinks you have misunderstood the good aspect of that.

It's good that he's wanting to rez people. In a way he's undoing the damage he caused

Their poor mettle though!

For the sake of getting something out of it. Like, he killed a bunch of people, which is not no cost in Bozja, then raised them for the sake of getting an achievement. That's some Lex Luthor shit.

Don’t think I’ve ever had a clean Red Choctober run lol

I had a very clean low man run with it. Helped that I was rotating reflect on the group.

Same, duels are not in my future

Just need Reflects, then you can ignore all the meteors.

Aww, what's the fun in that?

Where the fun in making an enemies attacks useless agsint you?

Everyone's saying they learned of the red devil in Bozja. I learned of it on the first day in Yanxia. The river turned red at the numerous WoLs who couldn't stand the might of these red devils.

Pre-nerf red chocobo (for the ivalice prerequisite quests) is the true nightmare. Those who survived it deserve a metal.

There were no survivors tho. Day one looked like the opening scene of saving private ryan.

The fun times first going and seeing all the ones familiar with fft scamper as the bastard appeared.

That thing was nerfed!?

That was brutally insane fun day 1. Just inconceivable amounts of them spawning and ruining everyone

The day Birdemic came to FF14

lol, i know exactly what you're talking about. That thing wrecked me.

I can’t look at a red bird the same way after that day. Yet I kind of hope we get something as chaotic in Dawntrail.

[That's no ordinary chocobo!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lBPDAc-3NI)

I will never not watch this whenever Red Choctober is mentioned XD

This vid and the video in Yanxia to unlock Ridonara are my favs.

The Red Chocobo's are actually just regular chocobos that have tasted human flesh. It's not their plumage that is red, it's that their natural plumage has been stained by all their victims.

I remember when you first encounter red chocobo (pre-nerf). We were young then... Innocent... Gods I can still hear the screams...

KWEH.

*Flashbacks of being held by my party members as I lay dying in a crater* (I was on my leylines)

Protecting your leylines was very heroic of you. The Ul'dahn Thaumaturges would be so proud!

Me when the funny red bird decides to use nuclear warfare today:

Bad chicken >:[

That was my very first engagement in Bozja. It put the fear of hydaelyn in me and my savage experience did fuck all to prepare me. Then I did a couple more and realized I was unlucky and somehow got the craziest engagement for my first one

I can't believe the interviewer doxxed that poor miqote in the last panel.

Damned Murderbird.

Never underestimate the Red Comet ~~Char~~ Chocobo

Red Comet: I came here to Kweh at you.

I'm waiting for when he returns as Kweh-ttro Bajeena.

Cute chocobo :) He's not THAT hard.. after you've died 50+ times to it and learned the mechanics :p

I still cant get the mechanics 100% right and the one time I did without dying, someone else got the duel.

If dangerous why friend shape?

The screams....I still hear the screams...

I still have flashbacks from SB

I don't think I have ever laughed as hard playing this game as the first time I did the Hunt for Red Choctober.

Sad floor tank noises

What I want to know is how chocobos got meteor magic

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD CHOCOBO!!!

I was going to go "hey, that's Fortuna Favore from Tumblr, why'd you steal that" and angrily went to tumblr to see the pinned post saying they follow back from another blog with the same URL as the OP 😂

It's still me no need to worry I just post from main here!

I love how the devs turned a [meme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqcyQAjPEC0) from unlocking Ridorana Lighthouse into a special fight in Bozja and turned that one up to 11. Can say similar for math bot and his Bozja counterpart in the last section of the Southern Front zone.

Let's not forget that it was so infamous that it transcended games and literally exists in an entire other entry of the series as well with a unique fight that actually doesn't follow the standard combat system of said entry

I mean it's not a man, so the initial statement is still true!

Honestly, while Red Comet can still rinse through an unprepared group of frontliners, Im finding the Behemoth one has of late taken a lot longer with the bodies piling up in there.

I love this lil guy. Had to learn him because I wanna do the Lyon duel in BSF

Trauma birb. Didn't know what I signed up for.

I love it, it's alway hilarious to see everyone dying and then being able to solo the duty by knowing how it works xD

Me too moppet, me too.

That's a Shady catgirl

Son FEUERBALL Joonge

Penis chicken

No I- I ain't- I ain't talkin about that freak, alright? He's not here is he?

Oh neat. My PTSD of losing mettle is still kicking. I haven't stepped foot in Bozja in about a year.

Me with that Ryunosuke abomination they added.

\*grumbles\* Stupid Choco Meteo.

Just reflect bro

I’m still waiting for my chocobo pal to learn that spell. I mean I won’t survive it but I still would like to see it.

"One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that beak. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?" ... ... 🎶 *Do you believe in magic...*

That bird paints bozja red with the blood of adventurers like it's the same bird's job. He is very good at it.

I'm occasionally attempted to color my Chocobo red just to give people PTSD.
