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!
