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

[Colino]

As for lore making it unreasonable to introduce a new playable race, that begs the question how they'd be managing anything they introduce. Some folks want Bangaa, I am not among them, but there it is. Others want Viera. In what lore were Viera ever mentioned? Never. Dev Team gonna change things and make it up as they go, fitting the lore to the race. The same could be done for moogles.

No not really, because Moogles have been established in the storyline like I already mentioned.

Actually introducing brand new races is much easier than "converting" old ones because Eorzea is just one continent in the world of Hydaelyn and you could have the new race emigrating to Eorzea for any reason whatsoever (Garlean Attack, natural catastrophe, whatever).

Plus, it's the end of the world. All bets are off!

That's very true.

This is a game story not a holy bible, it can be changed, added to, or whatever. All yoshi needs to do is say: new continent with moogle decendents. Done all problems solved.

UGH! LalaFAILS are bad enough and every fracking where as it is, we don't need even more tiny people wondering around.

That's not a Mog. That's a Lalafail wearing a Mog's skin. Don't you see the stitches on the arm and leg.

I think this is bad idea, and that you are not justifying it properly with saying on one hand you're "using the lore" you picked up from the game, then claim SE is "rewriting the lore" when you are called on making completely different creatures and still calling them ffxiv's version of moogles. Garlean science is not some magical plot beast to rewrite already existing elements in the Eorzean setting.

Actually it is or else the Garleans wouldn't be calling down meteor to destroy us. That was rewritten because they needed an excuse to destroy the 1.0 world. So yes Garlean's because we know so little about them, truly, are a huge plot beast that they can use for anything (in a bare bones story that we got at 1.0 release) that that is exactly what Yoshi-P has been using them as for the past 2 years.

Colino, just stop arguing. No matter what lore they use, moogles could eventually be added as a playable race. The playable moogles might have nothing to do with the mognet moogles that we already know of. Maybe they traveled from a different continent, maybe they were genetic tests, maybe they rode unicorns to Eorzea from another planet. Who the hell cares, the cool thing about fiction is you can always fit new things into it and make more things up to explain the holes in the plot.

So again, stop arguing like things are set in stone, it is all made up.

Nope. That would be terrible. Moogles look like they should not be "alive" in this game. If, like someone else said, they looked more like actual creatures as in Ivalice-style, then perhaps. But as is now, I would hate to see it become a playable race.. it'd just be goofy.

[Riv]

No, just no.

[Virtuso]

I agree completely with everyone against including Moogles as playable. That being said, I'd still play as one in a heart beat if given half the chance.

[XxOstiaxX]

No! Moogles where never really a playable race, only istance was in VI, other than that, nope.
