Moogle lore question

[DeadRiser]

Yeah and hopefully after we beat the moogles, we can lockpick open the chest and it won't be another 5 gold dark matter

DOVA KUPO!!!!! Seriously wish my blm could do some of those level 90 destruction magic (from the master quest) Dragonborn Z

So Moogle has their own speech/language that is used to communicate with Elemental, does that mean their alphabets/runes are claw marks paw marks/pom pom marks like? Moogles have been kidnapped here and there and sold on blackmarkets in Ul'dah, so where were Alduin Moogle King Moggle Mog the whole time? Did he get sent through time?

I hope there's at least one guy at SE who's working on making the story at least a bit comprehensible and consistent but given the recent patches I highly doubt it.

Anyone can learn mooglespeak or the beastmen languages, but those touched by the echo can naturally speak any language.

Uh not really, so far it has been shown that the Gridanian could not speak Mooglespeech, despite they regularly interact with them Moogle (at least the Botanists can't, and they prepare flowerbeds for Moogles, Moogle Cult?!). Padj'aa can speak Mooglespeech, but they can also speak with the Elemental and they are neither the Five Races nor Beastmen.

What I said is that people can learn it, not that everyone did. Most gridanians (even the conjurers) never studied mooglespeak, so they can't. The padjal guy with a hard name did, so he can. Other people have also been shown to be able to speak with moogles, such as Papalymo.

During the Path of the Twelve quests, it is also said they have always used people who can speak with the beastmen and are used to negotiate with them. And if course, the beastmen themselfs may also speak our common language, like Goblins and Sylphs do.

And finally, the echo not only allows us to see other's past, but is also a game shark code that enables all languages.

I hate how they talk in Limsa, sound like the have "a very inappropriate body part" in thir mouths, especially that Balderon, or however you spell his name.

Haha, I remember this
English is not even my native language, but when I started playing I thought it would be a good idea to play the English version so it's easier to communicate with others...and I was absolutely lost.
Every NPC in Limsa seemed to have a heavy accent..
So I gave up playing in English^^°

OnTopic:
AdvancedWind is right, it IS possible to learn beastmen speech.
Most people just don't want to, because they don't have a good opinion of Beastmen.

I'm not so sure about Moogles though...they are not Beastmen, are they?
And eccept for those weird Padjal children who are obviously gifted in some way and we, the Echo people, nobody understands what they are saying.
People like Papalymo and Yda seem to have the Echo too, because they don't just understand the Moogles, they also are able to look into the past of others.

[syntaxlies]

We can't not just understand moogles, but beastmens too
Are moogles somewhat like beastmens? ^^
Is a moogle stronghold coming with 2.0?

i remember recruiting a moogle from the moogle cave in ff3 on nes
