This week's Famitsu sheds some new light on Chocobo's Dungeon: Labyrinth of Forgetting, Square Enix's randomly generated dungeon romp announced earlier this year for the Wii. It will apparently forego use of the nunchuck, but players will be able to choose between pointing the Wii remote at the screen and holding it sideways. The Final Fantasy series' Cid will join Chocobo this time on his quest to restore the memories of people in the labyrinth, created by a boy named Raphaelo. Chocobo will also venture into dungeons more familiar to the series, with randomly generated levels, enemies and boss encounters.
The new Chocobo title will also feature a job system not unlike its Final Fantasy progenitor. Although Square is remaining tight-lipped on exactly which jobs will be featured, executive producer Shinji Hashimoto does mention we can expect to see around ten jobs in all, though he won't say which (but we can see both white and black mages from the magazine's screenshots). Jobs gain levels by collecting Job Cubes after battle, giving new spells and abilities, naturally.
Be sure to check out more shots of the multi-talented Chocobo in action after the break!

My brother, sister and I beat Chocobo Dungeon 2 on the accursed enemy platform. We freaking died twelve times just forcing our way into the dungeons, every time... Will enjoy this a lot.
