How about a moogle companion, like our chocobo (not to ride u weirdos)

Well There are a bunch of moogle types already, as seen in the primal fight, so why not.
_EDIT_ not summoned as a mount

They could have the same style of levelling as the chocobo.
(healer, dps, or tank)

There are other things they can do with them as well, like use the same systems they use for bardings. (change head and body gear)

Or it can be set, like you must choose one of the preset moogles, to become your companion.


Either way, I believe a lot of player would love to run around with their moogle companion.

P.S. I think a bard moogle would be my choice, you guys?

What's weird about wanting to ride a moogle? Let the little bastards earn their keep.

Especially after sending us out on those damned quests in the churning mists, they better be able to fly as well.

Moogle Palanquin?

On topic...As much as I despise moogles after Churning Mists, this is actually a pretty neat idea.

Trying to imagine a Roe riding a moogle like a chocobo is kind of hilarious.

I want to ride a Moogle Mount while wearing my Moogle outfit while using my Moogle Weapon.

If we're talking Moogle mounts, it must be either a giant rideable mog, like Cait Sith in FF7, or....a moogle strapped to each foot, like rollerskates!

I'm personally fond of the idea of just having my arms outstretched with 3 moogles on each arm carrying me.

This just makes me want to suggest other crazy things like "child miqo'te from Idyllshire companion/mount" for the inevitable responses.

Has anyone considered a Lalafell mount?

I didn't mean for this to be about a mount lmao.

I mean to summon the Moogle companion, to fight with us. Like the way the chocobo does.

Because we can summon our mounts now while a companion is summoned, then it does seem like it's possible to do.

I want a Cait Sith style moogle mount.

I was thinking that too!

I feel like they are going to eventually going to add another companion. I mean its rather odd to call the game option companion and it only be a chocobo. Just my 2 gil.

Moogle can be used as a form of transportation, they carry you and your hanging below as they struggle to keep you afloat.

I thought it would be cool to have a moogle companion back when I heard chocobos can fight with you. Lol and yeah the equipment and such for customizable moogles would be very nice. Maybe have them have a gathering and crafting helper moogle that can increase success rate or etc depending. Lol

It's also odd to have a cross-class skill system that hasn't been added to or adjusted in two years, even after a level cap increase, 4 new classes, and dozens upon dozens of new skills. Or how about visible icons for GC ranks that aren't in the game, or a battle leve system with 6 daily allowances that give less than half the reward of a fate, or challenge log rewards that don't scale past level 50, or a guildhest system that stops at level 45.

Quite a few abandoned areas of the game. It would be nice to see updates to them, but I'm not holding my breath.

I half-remember a game where you could send some type of companion to buy/sell items from the field, but not which game. I'd actually like that... I'm way too lazy to go buy new bait while fishing.

Hello Gunspec! Nice to see a fellow player from Ultros. I can agree with you there. I think eventually we will get to that point where they are relevant again. A good opportunity still exists to make it mean something and I think a good place would be when we plan to take back Ala Mhigo. If they don't I think it would be a really missed opportunity. :P

Thus is the nature of the internet. Mention something as being not what you meant, and that's all people will talk about. The sad part is that if you hadn't of made that mention, most people probably wouldn't have considered that train of thought, or if they had it would have been an aside to the actual topic, lol.....

The topic of them adding new companions sort of just got hand-waved in a recent live letter saying making new animations are "too time-consuming," as are designing a leveling system for another companion.

Please don't look forward to it.

If we did get a Moogle companion I think they should have some system in place to determine which zones it can be summoned in. Perhaps akin to aether currents we could have five woven baskets hidden in each zone, and upon finding them all we could appease our Moogle friend enough for him to be helpful. ; )

Would love this so much :)

I would rather have the option for retainer companions, but maybe thats just me

Actually kind of happy to hear this lol. I just finally got my chocobo to level 20 after playing for 2 years ( on and off ) and I would not look forward to leveling another companion... no thanks...

I imagine a moogle companion being the support class of bard from FFXI, complete with playing different instruments. I can't imagine a moogle fighting the way a chocobo companion does, but supplementing your character to the equivalent strength would be fun for solo play.

In Churning Mists you meet this moogle that wants to join the moogle knights/protectors. Its a long side-quest which ends in him joining the knighthood. Off all the moogles in the realm, I reckon he would gladly be a part-time Scion and help us in our adventures?

don't know about Moogle companions.
wouldn't mind being able to summon my DOW/DOM retainers as a companion and to ride

lmao Yeah but if you summon your retainer, THEN WHO'S GONNA GET YOU THE RANDOM CRAPPY FISH EVERY 24 HOURS!!???!!

Here is my 2 bits on the thought:

I personally don't want the exhaustive work of having to completely level up another companion like the Chocobo as mentioned prior by a fellow adventurer. I have finally gotten mine cleared into level 13...But I also only level him by use of the Companion Challenge log as well.

With that said, I think that a Moogle Companion would be an excellent addition to the game based on it being a Companion filling an entirely different role:
1. It would provide us a conduit for sending gear/gil/mats/etc. to and from our retainers while on the open map.
2. It would act as a "stratagist" on the open world battle field with haste, protect, dispell, etc.
3. Moogles are capable of going into dungeons (they go everywhere.)
4. They are also capable (or could be) of providing with a bonus or nerfs for crafting and/or gathering. The Chocobo helps out DoW and DoM. Why not have the Moogle help out DoL and DoH?

I personally don't think this would be that hard to implement personally, but I am neither a coder or programmer. I would think you could take the Mage animations from the King Moogle fight and map them for the Moogle minion we have or even one from Churning Mists.

There you go. Take it of leave it.

Odd thing is my retainers bring me back very little fish these days. It might be the fact I tend to choke my retainers on the fish they bring back. Who knows if they are by your side they may learn a thing or 2 from the warrior of light

Let the moogle be Mogleo so I can get his little furry ass killed by AoEs and you got yourself a deal.

can't i just cook the guy with a Flare?

I would love a moogle mount ^^ accompanied with moogle whip! :)

As for op suggestion, a companion moogle would be very cool too!

Another vote in favor of Moogle Companions. Although, personally, I would prefer the option of having the ability to have a Retainer Companion. We have the ability to equip our retainers with gear, and customize their looks, and they even level up, but other than their level/class affecting what loot they can get when sent out on ventures, there's really no point in them having their gear, levels, or class. It would be nice if we could actually put them to more use and be able to summon them to help us fight stuff in the open world.

Also, I think this would be beneficial to everyone who dresses up their retainer and would like to show their retainer off, but can't, unless they were to place them on the lawn of their fc, or personal, house.

Meh, I still want to be able to fight alongside my retainer.

I would -love- this. Honestly is something I wanted with my retainers -but- it would be super cute with moogles.

While I think the retainer isn't a bad idea. It would still be just another Human type player. But a moogle is a flying bear with a pom on its head.

I still think that Mog XII should drop a mount like so:

Otherwise, moogle retainers and companions would be nice. They're already involved with mail, postmoogle quests
