Moooogggllleeesssssss!!! (Possible spoilers)

So umm... yeah a little excited, just a little. Ever since I found out that Ivalice was gonna be the setting for the new raid the first thing I was curious about was if we'd see the Moogle siblings. I've wanted to see them in general, but the raid was the best option. Well I am happy to say that SE has made me happy this day. The Siblings are here I hope they stay and are used elsewhere.

Shame they're not true Ivalican Moogles, guess that puts the request thread for them to be a playable race in the bin.

Yeah I'm a little disappointed by this. We got Ivalician moogles alright, just not the Ivalician moogles.

I was really sad that they're just regular old Eorzean moogles, but I will say they sure are animated and I was happy to see them.

Can't wait to see Sorbet and Gurdy though ♥

Sorbet is bae moogle lmao~

Yes, but if you speak to NPC after the arrival of moogle, they said, they do not look like those told in the legend of the brave zodiacs. So, maybe in the past, moogles were just like those of FFXII.

Which outright contradicts what we already know of the moogles in Eorzea (i.e. they originated at Moghome in the Churning Mists and migrated to Hydaelyn via Mourn (a diaspora which the Good King Moggle Mog primal is a twisted cultural meme of) where they spread out, with the two 'tribes' eventually losing contact with each other). I don't see any reason to think otherwise (and thus take that reference as nothing more than a fanservice handwave for FFXII/FFTA fans - and remember also the Moogle summon in the original FFT had a traditional FF moogle appearance rather than the 'rabbit with bat wings and pompom' look they later had in Ivalice.).

There is both evolution and exaggeration at play. Stories are never interpreted by two people exactly in the same way. So if FFXII/FFT moogles looked one way, then 20000 years pass and now they look another way, that is not without precedence even in our reality. Just look at the Pug dog.

This is exactly why I'd be shocked if a completely different looking moogle race became introduced. I guess they could still hammer it in with some "aether mutation" mumbo jumbo, but that still would lessen the significance of moogle lore. In XIV moogles are basically mostly non-violent free-spirited fae. A playable moogle race would go very much against that considering what the WoL is required to do.

I freaking love Montblanc
