This is the cutest experience and is a baby game but it's a funny baby game and the OST is so cute and everything is so cute.
I love the design of the cactilius, and the cute little ways in which they take tales for children and put characters (mostly monsters!) from the saga as the protagonists.
This game is the reason why I'm a fan of final fantasy, and the reason of why I don't like most final fantasy games too.

Funny final fantasy spin-off.
The protagonist is a cute chocobo who enters into a lot of classical tales like Little red riding hood.
Gameplay is turn-based using monster cards, not bad.
The ost is really good.

Forgot how far I went in it. It was pretty difficult for me as a kid.
Juego chistosillo de minijuegos, el sistema de combate de cartas muchas veces se siente rigged pero quitando eso y un par de microgames que son DEMASIADO dificiles un juego muy divertido incluso de conseguir todas las cartas !!!!
It's adorable and there's more to it than I thought, but the fact remains that most of this thing is minigames that would have been rejected from Mario Party. Some of them are fun, some of them are miserable. Some of them are sort of fun for about a minute, and then you realize that you're never, ever, ever going to hit the target score you'd need to get all of the possible rewards. The play control on about half of the minigames just is not up to par.
Then there's the card duels, which have about three times the animation bloat they should. They're... not TOTALLY un-strategic, but the deck-building isn't going to live up to the expectations of... basically anybody who is into Card RPGs.
You don't need to go out of your way to play this. Again, it's cute. It's generally inoffensive. If you had this for your DS back in The Day, I'm sure there's plenty of wholesome nostalgia here, and that's wonderful. For those who don't have that nostalgia, and aren't freaks like me who feel compelled to chase down every one of the infinite Final Fantasy spinoffs, you're unlikely to find much treasure here.

This was my FIRST final fantasy game, and not for sensible reasons.
it's like inscryption if it had mario party minigames
Man i love Chocobos. This is like Mario Party and a little of Yu-gi-oh.
La verdadera joya oculta de la DS
Juegazo de minijuegos con musicote. Super divertido.
I must have beaten this countless times already, looking back its not that great of a game but my younger self does not regret putting all those hours in.
At first, this game seems to be a cute yet simplistic adventure game revolving around a Chocobo. A game that, while fine for small children, wouldn't offer much else to fans of Final Fantasy. After playing it for hours on end, however, I couldn't feel any different. This is a really fun story with some really fun and competitive minigames and is a cute love letter to the lore of Final Fantasy.
The story centers around a young Chocobo whose entire town has been sealed inside over a dozen books, and it is up to you to free them all and save the town from the dark magic. You explore the world and solve puzzles to either get to new locations, find new books to save townsfolk, or even unlock new cards to use in the Pop-Up Duels. The puzzles are pretty basic microgames like matching or whack-a-mole, but the requirements for gold ranking are pretty intense.
When you find a book, you will be thrust into the story as a main character. Each story utilizes a well-known fairy tale as its central plot and creates a minigame out of the contents of that story. For example, one of the stories is Jack and the Beanstalk, and you are tasked with climbing up to the Giant's Tower in the sky. So the minigame is creating trampolines for your Chocobo to climb up to the top the fastest. Each minigame usually has 5 different levels of difficulty, along with a time attack or a score attack depending on the game. Each book also has a list of 5 tasks that can be done to complete it, usually by beating the different difficulty levels. Every task that is completed will either give a new ending to the book which unlocks something in the overworld like the townsfolk or a barrier, give you a card for the Pop-Up Duel, or unlock new levels within the book itself.
All of these can be played with friends outside of the story mode and it is really fun in a Mario Party kind of way, with some of the games standing out more than others. Unfortunately, a couple of these games are not very fun, as the controls can sometimes not be very intuitive. The minigames are not the only part of this game though.
During certain encounters, you will face off in a Pop-Up Duel, and this is where the cards you collect come in. This is a really fun card game that has you building your deck in a way that can counter the deck your opponent is using. The strategies you can employ within this game prove to me that these developers were passionate about this game, as it feels balanced and fair in every fight.
To me, this is as good as a minigame collection can get, from its aesthetic to its gameplay. The biggest downside is that this is all the game is, a minigame collection. With that said, if you are okay with that and want something fun and cute to play on your Nintendo DS, this game is a genuine hidden gem.

Was pretty hard as a kid, but enjoyable. Didn't like that there was some things locked behind multiplayer, for a game that it was impossible to find other people playing. Enjoyed but would not go back and play again.
One of the most adorable and fun Final Fantasy spin-off I've ever played.
Love it SO much, played it a lot!
The idea of having to enter various fairytale books that have a FF-related children story and lots of different minigames is so original! And the minigames are pretty fun!
The art style of the books is super charming!!
I also like the combat system with cards of known FF creatures.
The main chocobo and the others are ADORABLE!!

Cute, but the minigames are a mixed bag.
Game is kind of stinky
When I was growing up this game was awesome. Still is.
this is the only FF game I've ever cared for
Solid game, especially for its time. Its indisputable charm is sure to appeal to many types of players, even those unfamiliar with the deckbuilder genre or the Final Fantasy franchise
the only good game
