Playable Moogles

Who would support playing as Moogles, if ever added to the game's race options?

Well, the devs have gone on record saying they are not planning to ever add new races to the game.

While that is true, I personally would not mind a non-hero race or two to be added.

Basically, a character you create that can level up to cap, but it has no classes and extremely limited glamour. They would have all locations unlocked, and be able to engage content in the field and level up.

Basically something like Bluemage that is mostly self contained, minus dungeons and story, but can go anywhere. Maybe give them a skill set similar to paladin or red age (dps base with self healing).

Think... tourist?

The point being I could have a friends who are not really interested in playing the full on game, but might want to just hang out and do mahjong or sightseeing or treasure hunts for a short bit.

Considering how people are already upset about Hrothgar/Viera not being able to wear helmets - despite them announcing that beforehand and being quite clear about it - I've little intrest in seeing them add a race (even just in theory) that wouldnt be able to wear 99% of all gear, hairstyles etc.
All we'd get would be people complaining that their moogle cant wear item XY when item XY wasnt designed with moogles in mind and cant easly be fitted for one... seriously, how would they even wear any kind of shoes or pants?

Its just a can of worms that I dont even want to open in theory...

(So its kinda nice to know that this is all just hypothetical - we wont get more races. Period. If we're "lucky" we'll get the two missing genders at some point, but thats about it.)

For this to work, there would have to be things to actually do in the open world other than hunts and FATEs. And given how many people were raging about blue mages over the Yo-Kai event......

ok

Customization: Fur Color, Pom Color, size
Only head gear and weapons are visible.

10/10 thought Lalas were hairless, wingless moogles. Are you saying they're not?

I would probably never again get a single dungeon/raid/encounter done if one of those were in my party...I would be too busy trying to get them killed.

Add Ivalician Moogles. Just edit over the Lalafel model. Job's a good 'un.

That is kinda my point; the "tourist" character has access to everything in the open world that an end-game character might. If they want any other content, they would play the actual game. Benefit being they can go anywhere with their friends, maybe scout around/video drone for podcasts, etc.

too much work for too little return.

As already mentioned, add Ivalician moogles. I will play as one. <3

Well, imagine a "become moogle device" where you turn into one of the Thornmarch moogles depending on your Job....or even a raid/event where you become one to play content so that the models are already made? It could be a nifty item to earn and use.

EDIT: It could be a vanity device like the parasol to be used outside of Duty's if the Dev's feel it could cause issues during them, but still used during battles in open world. I just thought it would be a cute addition to game.

It is frustrating hugely because not even new headgear can be worn most of the time. Old headgear I understand. There is A LOT of it, it would take a very long time to adjust it all. But new headgear also being invisible most of the time? Come on...it's bad enough already that viera and hrothgar have so few hairstyles. They're shafted for head options in general.

Could we at least get some cosmetic racial hats? Something??????

FFXII style of moogles would be the only way to have moogles that can wear every slot of gear. However I'm expecting this to never happen due to viera and hrothgar. At best we would get them as npcs.

Seeing this image makes me think of "Show By Rock" chibis for each race, the pic you shared being Viera XD

It's been asked for before, but the devs said no new races.

It would have been cool if we got Ivalician moogles.

Some of those images are really sweet.

Shame it's so much work to retrofit gear to new races which is the major issue it appears. I'd even be happy to have limited races with limited backward compatibility with gear if that was the only way to get them. We're already had that somewhat with Viera and Hrothgar.

I've wanted playable moogles in an FF MMO since FFXI launched... >.>

I prefer that they use the design of the FFTA and make small changes to differentiate it from the moogles we have in the xiv, more for reasons of lore. (Maybe a hybrid of Hummingway and moogle)

Oh and a new race is not completely out of the question, it’s just not to create expectations for a new race. I would say the chances would be 1% to 2% of getting ivalician moogles

I wouldn't mind if they make the moogle a limited race.

Honestly its too bad that they don't want too add new races but understandable. Race doesn't change anything in the game besides for looks now. Its a lot of work to make the model, animation, and design the current items to fit a new race for the game. It kinda like expecting capes in this game as much as I would want it.

At least we can expect more jobs and possibly limited jobs right?

If they add another race it would be on their own time if they had extra time on their hands to work on one which I doubt as there is always something else needing tweaked or added.
