Moogle Companions

[Zaireeka2025]

At first I was ok with the idea of Moogle companions..but after seeing that it was in FFXIII, or XIII-2 whatever the hell it is, I'm kinda against it now..

I'm just predicting that if SE does plan to implement this, then most of the community will argue that it's a XIII ripoff, or something like that. (and i can't help but think that as well).

If it's something other than a moogle, then great! In the story we got those npc companions, who don't do much currently.. Why not put those to use?

Moogles are also heavily involved in the upcoming Final Fantasy Zero for PSP. FFXI had them take care of your Mog House and with special events. Every Final Fantasy repeats the usage of them in some form. Just because XIII-2 has an NPC Moogle that follows you around doesn't imply anything else except that they are making good use of them (i.e. Moogle Mail). FFXIV on the other hand, simply has them hidden away for nobody to see except in cut-scenes.

Moogles need to have a deeper role, not even my particular suggestions, just much more involvement similar to what I proposed would be fine with me.

Well it's obvious every FF uses them in some way.. FFXIV is the only one (I think) that makes them more exclusive. Makes them feel more special.

And these devs aren't idiots, they will more than likely show moogles to everyone during bigger/near end story quests..or special quests. Who knows.

I still think our poor lonely npc companions should be given more attention..

I don't think FFX even had any Moogles (I think they only had Dolls and one dressphere in FFX-2 that resembled a moogle)

I thought they should've been given more attention too, but I just don't care for them much. Moogle companions would just be way better imo. I don't perceive our devs to be idiots at all, I just want them to know that they have a perfect resource for a proper companion system that seems to be getting no attention (Moogles).

Not quite. Moogles weren't in FF1, FF2, or FF4 at all. They were uncommon in FF6 (you run into them a few times around Narshe, and one joins your party, but to the world at large they're quite rare). They're fictional and only show up as toys in FF7, FF8, and FF10. They're very common sights in FF3, FF9, and FFXI. I haven't played FF12 and FF13. But throughout the series, moogles seem (to me, at least) to have been a rare sight more often than a common sight.

• Moogle knows best. They learn your play style and act based on your play style in both dialogue and actions. They could even learn to remind you about things you like to do in case you forget. (i.e. "Your auction items have sold" or "Kupo, you got Moogle Mail!" or "Would you like to run another dungeon?"

How about instead they say, "HEY! LISTEN!"

In the F2P mmo Perfect World you get a Fairy that flies around behind you where ever you go. While that game can get boring, that is one of the parts of the game I really thought was well thought out and added some very cool ability's to the game. You could customize them, they leveled up and you spent the points on different ability's. Some were healing spells for you or offensive. Some were things like stat boosts and well more than I could explain. But the point is you had control of the spells they are equipped with. I think something along the same or similar theme would rock with my own personal moogle. Not to far out an idea. FFXI had the adventuring buddy. Had mine up to like lv 65+ was very useful tho they needed to be able to be called in more places not just half of the game zones. Im thinking along the lines of everywhere, nowhere should be off limits.

Ok ok so Moogles weren't in every FF (sheesh I didn't know that). They *were* in all the ones I played though..in some form or another.

But this proves that moogles are still a rarity, and makes them all the more special to see them exclusively. If I saw moogle companions being implemented, I wouldn't cry, but I'd think "eh they coulda picked something else".
