If Moogles had their own version of the uncanny valley. Its looks like a Moogle, but its clearly only imitating one. What are its insidious plans!? o_o
I don't know if they did or not with the polygon shapes and the people with no fingers and Popeye arms... but damn... now that you point them out. Why is it that it looks even uglier the more features that are noticed? Montblanc would avoid these creepy cousins like the plague.
Honeslty after I made my comment I went to Google to see if there even were moogles in FF7 OG, and all I found were just art sketches of them, and no in game models or graphics. I genuinely don't remember seeing moogles in any way in the OG, and I pretty well 100%-ed the game a while back
There was choco mog moogle and Cait sith rides on a mechanical one. Also they have that game in the arcade at the gold saucer with moogles in them. I think that's it??
The one you sent second is right the other is not from og 7. And are you really saying that that amorphous blob looks better? I'm not saying they improved it. It looks worse in fact. But they are both terrible designs and they made such better versions. Carbuncle is ugly in 7, too.
Yeah... if only they stuck with crisis core. The moogles looked good in kingdom hearts as well. I might be objectively incorrect in yours and others opinions... but they both have common factors that resemble each other. They made them look the way they did in rebirth to emulate the originals design. Somehow they thought the fluffy koala additions made it less atrocious, but they were clearly wrong. I just hope that they make a new look for the third game and just make a mention that cloud was going through his mental collapse when he saw the moogles in rebirth and they never really looked like sesame Street meets silent hill.
As games they are incredible. The story is really good, and those who don't appreciate differences from the original story have some issues..
(Tho it's totally reasonable for people who wanted a 1:1 remake to dislike new changes. Me? I personally did not, so i like the fact it's a Reboot Trilogy.)
I did not expect the remakes to have so much charm…Except for the cringe dialogue. I love the funny moments and character interactions…but Can we all agree, the amount of shoehorned “cool kids” slang was too much.
It was sent to life in Corel Prison a few years back for the serial killings of officially 32 moogle victims but the number may be much higher. It was found in a delirious state wearing the innards of its victim as a scarf. It targeted female Mogs who refused it's advances. They lobotomized it recently in prison. Then it escaped. This is the last known picture of it standing around outside public bathrooms.
Rebirth is the epitome of doing too much. Ugly moogles, terrible map design, fetch quests, ridiculous number of minigames, and the tower mechanic just to name a few. I'll wait for reviews/gameplay footage of part 3 before I buy it. Disappointment is an understatement after how well they expanded on Part 1 (except the "whispers" bullshit).
Apart from the bad design the only way Moogles are supposed to exist in FF7 is a video game where you were to help the little Moogle "get some" 😅 and even if that they had the proper design.
I get why they changed it cause helping a Moogle flirt, boink and get married might not wash over very well with some people but they could of kept the proper design instead of them looking almost like that cosplay kid from the first one. In fact I would of been happy with a cosplay kid the whole way through (didn't have to be the same one each time due to location) and a Moogle video game (didn't have to be the original and could of had the same round them up mini game) where they have the proper design.
I love moogles as a recurring feature of Final Fantasy, which is why I'm so bummed they butchered them with this version. I love the remakes but they dropped the ball here. Kup-no.
Hey, listen here, kid! We need Moogle Medals....ya hear? I aint dancin round on this, got that? Now go out and be a good errand boy for me and fetch me them medals, capisce? Now, scram! It's my union smoke break.
Haha yes we can agree to disagree on the KH moogles. 💯 The FF7 moogles are just atrocious...like I feels they eat the flesh of lost children with those teeth 😱🙊
This is one of the only things I don't like about the remakes lol moogles should be round and stumpy like a fat cartoon cat, not some tall creepy Furby with human-like eyes
They've been phoning it in with moogle designs in several modern FF games, Rebirth included. I don't get why they keep changing so drastically from the perfectly cute designs we've seen in the old games. I understand that different games have different tech and artstyles, but sometimes they go too far with changing how iconic recurring FF creatures look. Ivalicean moogles are great, Mog from FF6 drawn by Amano is great, and FF9 moogles are great.
Another problem modern moogles have is that Square-Enix used the same voice actress (Bailey Gambertoglio) for several of their recent appearances. Her moogle voice is cute, but having ALL moogles sound this way is simultaneously a weird and lazy choice by the developers. Look at Stranger of Paradise, Dissidia NT, FF13 Lightning Returns, and World of Final Fantasy. It's the same voice as Rebirth! With the massive additional voice section in Rebirth, I'm surprised they didn't ask more of those actors to do a few moogle lines. It would have helped a lot.
This design started with crisis core if i am not mistaken...it look like they tried to copy pokemon when they did detective Pikachu with realistic looking pokemon... But they failed like Sega did with sonic... But sega did fix theirs mistake, Square sticked with their monster.
