Why do the Moogle only have one minion?

[Korbash]

Maybe they only get one because not everyone craft. We already get a dragon minion, and a dragon mount, through the MSQ, so yeah.

Ixali is also a crafters beast tribe, and they had 2 minions.

The Moogles are an oddity because unlike the other two tribes in Heavensward, they were not created for the expansion, they existed as far back as 1.0, and minions of them (Vanilla from the CE and the 2 Merchandise ones) also existed at this point. They are also unique as there is no conflict with other moogles, as in there is no tribal infighting. As such there is no need for a 2nd set of Moogles and thus no need for a 2nd minion.

The Dragons on the other hand already have 3, but the other common thread for the BT minions is that they are clockwork replicas, mammots. Which Midgardsomnr is not, and Banamut is no longer available.

My guess is that we will return to the 2 minion per beast tribe formula unless the new tribes inclue the Qiqirn (one crafted minion, so a similar case to the Moogles), or the Goblins (which have 2 minions already, including a crafted one. so, no minions?) Mamool Ja are the only existing Beastmen/non-spoken not to have minions.

Paissa beast tribe or bust.

They haven't exactly shown the level of sapience the beastmen have. Being closer to well, beasts (and we already have a Paisia minion)

I just want to save those waddling balls from being eaten by predators on a daily basis. :3

Yes there is. As I said, the only way to get a moogle minion at this time is to have bought something outside of the game. A collectors edition, a soundtrack, etc. So that's reason enough to include a moogle of some kind. Even if they make it "worse" than the purchase bonus codes, that's fine. But to have no way of getting a moogle minion in game without spending money OUT of game, that's annoying! Especially when there's an obvious gap.

P.S. the moogle slippers do NOT make up for a minion!

4. You forgot the Clockwork Twintania (she even dive bombs!)

The Fat Moogle Mount would have been awesome to buy from the Beast Tribe vendor, but well... why let someone buy it with gil when people will pay real money for the thing...
