Moogle Race FFXIV, Lets Make This Happen!

[Enkidoh]

Actually, now with Stormblood being released, it's confirmed that Ivalice is part of the world of FFXIV. In HW, it has been confirmed that moogles have different variants, "cousins" as they call it.

Wrong and wrong again. The 'Ivalice' in Othard is not the literal FFXII/FFT/FFTA world somehow plonked wholesale into Hydaelyn, it's like the Crystal Tower, Costa del Sol, Gold Saucer, Matoya's Cave and other places from previous FF games that have also appeared here in FFXIV - they're just references in name and theme only with Hydaelyn-specific lore. Hydaelyn's Ivalice does not even exist anymore, it's a country that is long destroyed.

And besides, SE themselves all but stated this outright: (yes this information was before the Return to Ivalice raid was added, but it is still appropriate):

1:57:29
Q: A lot of names from Ivalice have been mentioned such as Dalmasca, Belias, and Zodiak. Is there some kind of connection between Hydaelyn and Ivalice?
A: Maehiro: To be absolutely clear, there is no direct connection between FFXIV’s Hydaelyn and FFXII’s Ivalice or even FFXI’s Vana’diel. They are not the same world in different dimensions or time—they are their own separate worlds. However, there are certain connections to people or objects that appear in these other worlds that figure into the story of FFXIV as it has been conceived and is being told.

Yoshida: We’ll be revealing more as we move forward.

And as for the moogles, they're not so much different 'variants' as more the ones in Moghome are the original tribe and the ones on the surface simply split from their society in the distant past (the story of Good King Moggle Mog the XIIth is actually at least partially true, it's a cultural memory of the moogles' diaspora). The two groups are not literally different - physically they're virtually the same, only their culture and naming differ. So that is not proof that FFXII/FFTA moogles can appear as a playable race here in FFXIV either. It's not going to happen.

Succubus/Incubus with wings is better since au ras are more lizards than demons on their look.

After Viera i could go for an old fashioned Dwarf race, but if it needs o be moogles i say it should be like Madeen from FFIX.



Maybe with a slightly more human like face though, to keep with the current races.

no thank you.




i hate moogles why would i want to play as one?

It's not going to happen, because no one is going to play them. The vast majority of players play female Mitq'te, Midlander, or Au'ra, and they're virtually identical to normal humans. Races like Roegadyn, Elezen, Highlander, male Au'Ra, and Lalafell are each unique in their aesthetics, build, and presentation...and are all played far less by comparison. If they bring out a beast race, it'd become a waste a resources, with the high preference to cute characters in this game. They will be played far less than Roe. Case and point: everyone wants to request the Viera for FFXIV, another human-like race, over the other bestial races from FFXII, like the Bangaa. Ironically, we see the Bangaa in FFXIV before the Viera.

And don't forget about how all gear will need to be recreated for each and every beast race. Existing gear might be altered to make everyone equal. So I don't see them making moogles or anything non-human playable.

It wont happen... but I wish it would though.

[Tanama]

Make it happen, Square-Enix.

[Ritnou]

Make it happen, Square-Enix.

Seconded, I approve of this motion.

[Linx0r]

Please no. Have enough Lalas that need to be drowned and burned . Don’t have time for moogles . Jokes aside it would be interesting, but Viera would be a better fit .

Which is why I personally think Lupin have a better chance at becoming a playable race over other Beastmen-like races. They can wear clothes and their feet seem normal from what we have seen. The most trouble SE would have with them is facial expression (different mouth to work with) and head gear.
