Next Companion: MOOGLE!

Companion After Chocobo

Moogles and chocobos are the staple of Final Fantasy. I would love to have a Moogle as a Companion (vs. just a chocobo companion.)

Most of us are capping our chocobos at this point. Thavnarian Onion could be replaced with Extraordinary Kupo Nut (or some other adjective Kupo Nut). Nuts can be grown in soil, seems like a win-win!

There's two ways you could do this:

(Option A) Allow anyone to get a Moogle companion the same time as a Chocobo Companion, or

(Option B) Require people to have completed the Chocobo Companion, then make minor stat increases to the Moogle to give incentive for people to level one!

Sadly Veritas I think that airship sailed long ago, never to return.

The Chocobo Companion is one of those early ARR systems that Yoshi ended up pretty much abandoning after a point (as I recall from the old Alpha and Beta forum the original idea was that SE intended to have other mounts also used as companions but for whatever reason SE never implemented it and just concentrated on the Company Chocobo for it exclusively, probably due to pragmatism as it would have required a large amount of resources to devote to getting it to work with mounts with wildly varied shapes and functions that would each require their own specific system).

Given the preference for most content now to be instanced, SE probably believes there is little need now for upgrading the existing system sadly, so the Company Chocobo will probably remain the sole Companion in open-world content - even though personally, I would love to have my old 1.0 Path Companion back, but that's a, to use a pun, whole different barrel of moogles. ;)

The first thing I thought when I saw Argos was that I wished he could be a companion.

Moogle companion would be cool, but I do agree it would probably be too much for them to implement. As a compromise though, I think it’d be cool if we could use Egi glamours to change our pets into Moogles? It would especially make sense if we could turn the Fairy into a Moogle lol. And it should definitely rename the fairy skills to Whispering Kupo, Fey Kupo and Fey Kupopo!

Or, maybe in the future we could get a Moogle trust! Like a Moogle party member for a future dungeon

I recall him revisiting this at a Fan Festival back in... Stormblood?

One of the questions from the audience was "will you update the companion system?" and his response then was "based on the data, there's very few people who have capped their chocobo". I think that's changed over the past several years.

I'm hopeful. Plus all the animations for the moogles are already in the game.

I always liked the idea of expanding the Companion system with maybe the our Magitek Reaper, since it's sentient and a combat unit. And maybe we'll have a Reaper storage compartment and we'll get more space for items....
