Moogle as playable race

i was thinking about this. moogles have played a big part of FF for many years and id like to see them as a playable race. i think it would be very cute to be a moogle and id def be one. what does everyone else think about this idea?

Welp, the main answer is if they're not going to create armor for beast tribe or beast-like characters, they'd probably wouldn't do it for moogles.

But I agree with you. I'd actually be tempted to give up my Au Ra if I could play a moogle. Moogle tanks would compete with Lala tanks for best possible tanks.

I'm gonna have to say no based off their lore in the game as is. Besides I don't think a race that's persistantly flying is a good idea when it comes to gear design and system resources. Best bet for playing as a moogle is making a pale skin lalafell with a moogle cap on.

I would love this! <3

Moogles being tinier than lalafell, and who prefer to fly and has never been seen walking on the ground, I highly doubt they would ever implement them to be a playable race.

As mentioned in this thread, for lore reasons they daren't break that where suddenly there is an abundance of Moogles around Eorzea.

Been asked a couple of times but it seems that the community that want the moogles as playable race are too small for SE to actually implement them in game. I would to play as a Moogle though. :)

I remember being so disappointed moogles weren't playable in Xi, and even more disappointed there weren't any previous FF races...

I would absolutely love to play a little moogle, but their anatomies would probably make it very hard on the design team to make gear for them.

People say it doesn't make sense lore-wise as well but I disagree with that point personally. For all we know the dev team in-charge of the lore could make it so for one reason or another, Moogles have decided to join us in our adventures and the expansion can even be centered around them (like how HW is centered around dragons).

i would also love to play with a moogle; problem is their current design isn't suitable to such possibility. If they had designed them like in Ivalice games (FFTactics, FF12, etc.) it would have been possible i guess since their body/proportions would be similar to the Lalafells. But since they have a completely different shape. Putting this race like a playable character would mean re-modeling every single piece of armor to suite their body shape. Which is a lot of work ^^;

If they where more Ivalice looking sure. But in this game they're nigh but hopeless puffballs.

I've actually never liked the Ivalice moogles. I think the design we have in FFXIV would work just fine. And be super cute. ^^

People farming Moogle King EX via duty finder would disagree with you there, lol. :P

If Moogles became available....

I want Ivalice Moogles, Viera and Ronso.

I've made this request a long time ago and was ignored. Maybe they'll listen to you lol.

I googled Ivalice moogles...

OMG YES PLEASE

I'M THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN WHY ISN'T IT WORKING AAAAAH

*ahem* I've been wanting to play a cute fluffy little thing since launch, and that would be perfect. ;__; I'd play it over a lalafell any-day.

I'm sure they will get their own spinoff game. For an MMO, no. I don't want moogles. If you think Miq'ote are everywhere, it will be even worse with moogles.

A Version of this as Mog.

I prefer having lalafell continue to be the uncontested most adorable race in the game. I don't need any floating furballs trying to outdo me. kthx.

I would probably change to a moogle if they were made a playable race but I don't see them being added unfortunately. Their size and shape would require a lot of extra work to ensure that all equipment looked correct on them and it would cause all future equipment additions to also require that further work; this is why we will only ever get humanoid playable races. The lore reasons against playable moogles don't hold so much water now though given certain recent discoveries.

YES! I asked this in one of the first ARR letters (sadly I didn't get an answer, kupo).They aren't really a beast tribe and even if they were with the direction the story is going I think it'd be ok. I would even create a second character if this happened! This would also break the cycle of every playable race just being an alteration of the Hyuur in some fashion.

I would rather have a completely new race again.

Moogles just spend all their time either being lost or looking for lost objects or other lost Moogles anyway.

Moogles in THIS game are basically furry faeries and are for all intents unique to FFXIV and FF Crystal Chronicles. All other versions of moogles don't perpetually fly, and visually, they look like the FF5/FF6 moogle (more cat than bear.) There is a reference in HW to Mog who used a lance (FF6), so for all intents that's the version the lore is based on.

New Race

What happens when a lalafell and mog make babies

They don't need to create armor, just hats and tiny weapons!

the guy in the brown pants and green shirt is montblanc.....one of the more recurring moogles

I'd prefer something unique, it seems sorta lazy if all SE does is remake a race from a previous game. I wish the Au Ra looked different, but at least they're somewhat unique.

Agreed. I like nostalgia as much as the next person, but I will take originality over it.

Moogles have more of a place as world npcs rather than player controlled anyway.
I think it's a nice staple to the world itself rather than the character.

Kind of like chocobos and even Cid.
There things that surround and interact with the character rather than being within the protagonist party group.
I'd prefer it to stay that way.

What SE could do is make a Moogle Dungeon. In another game there was a "pet dungeon" which could only be entered using mounts/pets that the player has. The mechanic for it was awkward because pets had their own levels, so unless the player grinded the pet's level 50 within a week, the per was permanently in a weak state and unable to really play it. On the OTHER hand, there were special instance dungeons where you got to play your spirit animal, or flash-backs with other characters.

So all SE would need to do in such a case, is use the models that already exist (eg King Moggle Mog) and just assign the level of the player to the moogle. So for all intents playing the Moogle dungeon would transform the players character into a role that matches the Moogle model. It would involve obviously some work so that all the animations work. It just bypasses the gear requirements by having the models fixed.

No thanks.

Also.. How would the moogle race begin to wear the moogle set?!

If we can have a quest that allow us to transform just like a Springan egg event also OK with me.

id be ok with this....but make it a transformation that can be permanent as long as you dont die lol

If they were to do moogles, which I would love to death, it would have to be the Moogles from Ivalice( final fantasy tactics, ff12). Is there any way we can ask the developers to consider them?

I would want ivalice moggles as well

Having g two separate moog let races within the game would be a nightmare.

I'd much rather we keep our moogles how they are and if a new race is introduced again, have it be something unique.

But I thought Moogles were a food group....?
