New playable Race [[[[[ Moogle ]]]]]

[Colino]

Yeah for some reason I don't think the devs rely on forum fan-fiction for their lore.

Sorry.

Have you never read any fantasy novels? or FFVII? How did they make Red XIII talk and such... Shinra genetically tested on Red and developed all those things. Also with Genetic Alterations the "ambient sound and ability to fly" can be lost due to the harshness of it. Also on the huge rise of population, Have any of you read 2.0 lore... moogles have stopped hiding and being mysterious and have come out of hiding to help us combat the Garleans, explaining why their is Mognet and moogle delivery in 2.0. Also whats to stop with my scenario the Garleans force breeding a lot of these altered Moogles?

You never know, they do read all the forums, and discuss things, if it is a popular enough topic. Like they did with so many ideas we offered them with wanting to change. I am not expecting them to use my idea, I am just pointing out it is possible for current lore to explain why they can become a playable race in the future.

After years of evolution, some moogle has evolved into more combat-oriented beings:



i would play the hell out of that race.

They're massively important as NPCs and also run the mognet, so it's basically impossible.

And what do you mean by "skills"? There's no race specific skills. Do you play this game or just post on the forums?

Damn, I've got to go talk to Rowena. She can't be an NPC anymore 'cause Hyuran is playable.

Someone better go tell Merlwyb, too.

EDIT: And hell, would someone tell that maroon van Darnus that he can't be an NPC Elezen!

Moogles, a race of floating, ethereal creatures connected to the twelveswood and who have their own language that only certain people can understand, provide a link between the four races and the often living environment of places like the Black Shroud.

Now lets forget all that and add SCIENCE!

That's not explaining with lore, that's throwing it away.

Really then how do you explain the Garlean Empire? which was mentioned in my scenario. They use "science and engineering" unlike any of the nations and they experiment on their conquered citizenships. So whats to stop them from capturing some moogles and experimenting on them like they do the other 4 races, and they some how end up mutating them?

Nice hyperbole there.

I never said it's specifically because there are NPC moogles, but rather that they will be serving a really specific function in the game (that ONLY moogles will do).

Capturing "some" does not a playable race make. You do not explain the purpose for this. This makes the whole thing sound like it's pulled out of thin air, and not the stuff of good storytelling.

An example. The miqote of Ala Mihgo are cat girls, but then GARLEAN SCIENCE! They lost their tails in 2.0! And now fight the garleans!

Sahagin were a bunch of ornery seadogs, now playable because GARLEAN SCIENCE! Changed their colors! Now stalwart defenders of Limsa Lominsa's seas!

Behemoths not ridable? The GARLEAN SCIENCE came from the north... now with poodle tails. Behemoths can now take their fight to the Empire!

This is the best idea on the forums
