Heh. Relevant sig. The main thing that makes Ivalice Moogles challenging is the wings on their backs, which muck with a lot of weird chest armor pieces in this game and for obvious anatomy reasons can't be hidden. Their poms are actually fairly easy to get to work with headgear when you look at what the FFTA/2 Concept Art does with their jobs. You can mostly hide or bend the antennae around to get any pom placement you want, which makes them actually have more uses for /visor too. And any modifications you make to Viera ears to make them work with certain helms will be relevant for moogles as well. There would be some awkwardness with how its placed on their respective heads but that only affects a few specific polygons, so once Viera helmets are figured out, the development time on Ivalice Moogles in the abstract would boil down to chestpieces that try to put accessories on their backs. Any 'wing' shoulders, for example, would just be outright replaced with Moogle wings.
Since we'd most likely get Loporrits instead, really all we'd need is dyeable pompom and wing headgear added. Ideally one set with glasses too, if only so some of us can emulate Horne to fill in all six of the XII siblings~
Really though, this just makes me sad we didn't get Ivalice races from the get-go. XI players did us dirty in 1.0.
