So which game had the Moogles appear the best in your opinion? I think they looked the most iconic in Final Fantasy IX. They look a lot like the ones from the older games. They come in slightly varied colors and fur patterns too in that game.
The ones in Final Fantasy XII look like anthropomorphic rabbits which I don’t think makes much sense for a Moogle. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Tactics A2 have them look a little awkward as well.
Personally, I preferred Crystal Chronicles version the best. 9 is a good runner up though.
Final Fantasy 9 I think is the classic of the classic. Aside from VI I can’t think off the top of my head any other game that gives them as deep a character arc / story with the whole mognet thing
Ivalice moogles do look quite different from the others, but Ivalice is just different from the rest of the series in many ways, so I think it fits. I like them a lot. I agree that 9 has the most recognizable classic design. I don’t really like Crystal Chronicles as a game, but I like the moogles a lot.
I really liked XIII-2’s Mog. Probably the most integral moogle to the party, and the transforming mechanic was kind of cool. I like that his pom was more of a crystal.
I don’t like XII moogles either, the humanoid rabbit thing only seems not like a Moogle at first glance.
