Moogle Companions

[Zaireeka2025]

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".

I understand what you mean about the charm of having them be hidden and visually esoteric, but they are still too insignificant in the scope of what a huge FF MMO could do with them. They could have given them a whole culture and background. Chocobos were given the same lack of attention, and this was just fixed recently (with more to come still).

Avoiding Moogle overkill is something I'm weary of as well. My main goal is to throw as many ideas out there as possible to the devs in hopes that the best will stick. I'll be uber happy if even 1/4 of these ideas were taken into consideration (doesn't have to be all of them of course). It's up to the designers/devs to implement Moogles properly given our suggestions...

i.e. Don't simply make a simple UI-driven mail system, make it a Moogle Mail system with free regular or express Nomad Moogle delivery!

Haha a moogle mail system would be fun, but again, I can't picture the FFXIV moogles doing such a thing (relating to that lore thing again). Of course it'd be a simple fix, add some story quests that make moogles less exclusive and want to help people..or something.

I'm sure the devs glanced at these ideas at least once, or are already planning something with Yoshi!

I want the moogles to be more like in classical Final Fantasys.

My Idea would be (some of these points are planned yet):



Mail System
Read, write and send letters to other players. And the possibility of sending items. You can check your messages via a Moogle. (like in offline Final Fantasys)

Linkshell leaders have the ability to send messages to all members.

Nomad Moogles
Placing nomad/backpacker Moogles at almost every camp, outposts and in every major city.
they sell also some grocery items like potions, arrows and stuff. maybe repair items as well?

you can also check your mails at a nomad moogle.
In addition, they should be there to store your items. It's like a wandering storage.
Like the situation is now you cant store that much items in your inventory, storing items at your moogle gives you the oportunity to obtain the right equipment at almost every outpost for the class you switched directly to. because the inventory is very limited and mostly full.

Therefore, a traveling Moogle would be very useful. (and for atmosphere as well^)

Express Mail (like AION offers, i think it was a wonderful idea)
(not a must-have)
To send standard Mails is free of charge
Are you in a hurry .. the right potions are not ready and the raid is imminent you can receive express mail wherever you are.
To send "Express Mail" though is associated with a fee.

When a player receives a special (express) delivery, a tone will ring and an icon in the upper corner will appear. If he clicks on this, a Wandermoogle will come over wherever he is and delivers personally the message or item to him
(e.g. like in AION)

Express mail in AION (would be delivered by a nomad moogle, whe can see in many offline FF's)



but some of your ideas are also really nice (and similiar)

Wow, that's awesome! I didn't know AION did express mail that way. Moogles would look so much better doing it too. I love the Nomad Moogle breakdown too, which elaborates so much better about my quick mention of NPC Moogles placed around certain camps/gates. Moogles should at the least be handling all of your proposed ideas if not as companions.

more moogles. yesplease. they are Final Fantasy and much as chocobos and airships and crystals!!

[Agoven]

It sure would be exciting to see Moogles becoming messengers around the world. You write a letter or give your personal Moogle an item to deliver to another player. It runs off as a little messenger that others can see running around. The Moogle network...something like FF9. Chuckles.

I am coming back to this thread because after the moogle battle being shown and all the moogles having their own job I couldn't help but remember this thread.
STILL WANTS THIS

[Zaireeka2025]

Just gonna bump this idea up one more time since I recently updated it. Forgive my passion for the idea, but I really think this would really work in many aspects.

It's a cute idea how did i miss this?

[Avisaia]

This would be another fun addition to the game. Reminds me greatly of having a grunty, which I love. Best of luck to you in your campaign!
