Moogle Race FFXIV, Lets Make This Happen!

[AlphaFox]

Unless the moogles themselves were as the ones from Tactics Advanced or Ivalice I guess they were originally placed? Anyway side from that, don't see how people can dig back like a year or so and pull these threads up as if its recent conversation, happening quite a bit I'm seeing.

Moogle race would work, even if for some reason they can't make them fly. They were seen walking in Final Fantasy VI, so it wouldn't be against lore if they had to do that. Please make this happen square. c:

There's one very simple reason why moogles won't really work as a race.

They're invisible to normal people most of the time.

Seriously, how are you going to get quests from NPC's if they can't even see you! Remember, that the average person seeing a moogle is a big deal in the world. If you have an entire moogle playable race, that whole story gets flushed down the toilet as they'll be as common as lalafells.

So, nice idea... but badly flawed.

Really Simple,

The hands down coolest playable race would be moogles!
Moogle's that hover in the air, and imagine them in combat! Being able to loadout your moogle with af gear would be amazing. Actually, no need to imagine, here it is!



Lets make this happen! Forget all the other races, moogles must be playable!

Biggest sin of HW so far. Have added the Centurio Clan without Montblanc.



PS: I know the thread is about RACING, yet, i will just rant here because aweome moggles are awesome and montblanc is like godtier awesome.

I feel like moogles being playable would break some sort of unspoken law of FF.

Final Fantasy VI would like a word with you

As well as Montblanc and the rest of Ivalice.

Yes, but those aren't the moogles we have in this game. Even if they introduced the Ivalice based moogles as a race it wouldn't work out just because of the lore of XIV as Lemuria stated above. Unless they introduce the Ivalice based moogle as a whole other race separate from the moogles we have now, then it would make sense.

Wow, I totally misinterpreted this thread title. I thought you meant something along the lines of moogles racing each other, not being a playable race. Hahaha.

hahaha i pictured lalas riding moggles like chocobo races when read the title xD

Honestly they excuse enemies from the other Final Fantasy titles with "Ehhh the Allagans did it??" and I mean, you know, the witch kind of did appear for no good reason. MMOs like this one thrive on being a theme park that loosely ties all kinds of lore together to be a big wish-fulfillment deal, so while it might be a bit early for this, the lore argument really isn't a huge hurdle. I'd expect something like this in maybe a 5.0 or 6.0, or near the end of the game's life.

The quote was "they are not meant to be a playable race". As a general saying, they were a playable race in a few other titles. As far as FFXIV goes, yes they are not structured as a playable race especially with how the gear is designed for specific body types that the playable characters are made with.

In the sense of lore there are some topical and strength differences between the Mists and Twelve's Moogles. If that was all based on the difference in local environments. Who's to say a lost colony or forgotten branch of the family tree didn't wind up somewhere far-far away in another part of the world. Could they have changed more so over the many generations. Having already borrowed a bunch of models from XI , might as well reinvent Magian and Nomad Moogle types at some point as a divergent path. Either way as that stands Churning Mists and Twelveswood Moogles are currently the same as any other playable race in the sense of sub type. Lalafell = Plains/Dune, Hyure = Midlander/Highlander, Miquote = Sun/Moon, etc..

Aside from that I'd rather see a Moogle race through an obstacle course, a jockey for chocobo racing or other Moogle themed tomfoolery.
