Please add moogles as a playable race (>^_^)>

I would love to be able to play as a moogle ^_^ Such great nostaliga from Mog as a playable in VI/III. He was also just extremely awesome :P
So please Square-Enix, add moogles as a race to compliment the wonderful Lalafell. ( Tarutaru )
Come on, who doesn't love moogles? ^_^

If I could play as a moogle, I'd want to play as an Ivalice moogle. And Ivalice is pretty confined to Ivalice.
I think SE needs those NPC's for themselves. They play a big part in the little odd-jobs of the game. To make them playable, well, they'd likely have more mana than anything, but always be one-shotted with the weakest HP and VIT in the game. It would almost be a worthless novelty character to play except for the super elite mage lovers.
Excuse my while I ramble: This time around they're smaller than Lalafell. I wonder how they could incorporate playable moogles into the world. Probably not the worlds of Vana'diel or Haidelyn, but how they would make a positive impact in a game where they are no longer such mysterious creatures. I've always wanted to play as an adventuring moogle. I even started writing some fan-fiction in the form of Moogle's Diary, using the outlines of other games to pace my adventures. But in the end it's even more of a fantasy than any of the games. Even if they were super-weak I'd probably play as one if I were able. What if there was also a Moogle God? I should get back to my fan-fiction. I'd like to see moogles do not-so-cute things and be not-so-nice. The dark side of Moogles. The Nomad Moogle, who cast aside the life of adventurer support to experience those adventures himself. Another of the prestige ideas that we're not likely to see. Super rare-ness after having completed only the toughest of challenges.
Anyway, I think people are limited by games. I don't have to be a rockstar to imagine what being one is like... in the end every moogle would be a Japanese elitist that blamed others for their failures, like that damn Taru paladin that couldn't voke, heal, or tank and caused my party to wipe and disband.
Kupo.

I would like them to be a playable race in the game if only to hear LFG shouts (by RP'ers in the know) like this one:
"I'm your boss, kupo! You're gonna join us, kupo!!!"
~Mog, FFVI
Now *that* is one PUG I would be glad to be a part of... ;^_^
Not as far as Square-Enix is concerned. Ever played as Mog in FF VI/III? He was one of the most powerful melee characters, wielding spears/lance, shields, knives and heavy armor.
Also humans and other playable races are NPCS, that's no excuse heh.
Personally Ivalice moogles are my least favorite designed moogles, so I would really love to see the style of moogles from VI/IX etc in XIV.
And, I just can't help it... especially with your pictures above.
But, we gotta rock out, moogle style!!
Kupo~!
That was a specific moogle. In any case, realistically they could only be one or the other, and where your beliefs lie in the sturdy strong knight mine reside with the frail fearful mage. That would clash for so many players, like the male and female races, I think SE would rather keep moogles to themselves.
What I would like to see, just to bring more life to moogles, is GM's interacting with the game directly when warranted. Say you're stuck because of a glitch in the game; a moogle would show up and cast a tractor spell on you to remove you from your confines.
There are plenty NPC's of all races, sure. But that doesn't discredit that Moogle NPC's play their specific part. Honestly, it wouldn't seem right being greeted in my personal domicile by a Miqo'te. Damn theif. Or a Roegadyn. This room ain't big enough for the two of us.
You get the picture. I'm NOT about to get into a debate on this. Nobody is satisfied with anything. Everyone wants something. You can't please everyone.
Instead of Mog being a supporting character of some game, or some extra race in an MMO, to at least keep the rarity and elusiveness and mysteriousness of the Moogle-ology, I'd hope for "A Moogle RPG" where all the main characters are moogles. It could work in an MMO until you realize that so many people would be playing as a moogle it would lose its novelty.
It's just a different avatar, nothing more. There would be countless moogles in all the varying job classes. Who wouldn't at LEAST have a moogle alt? Sorry, too annoying. You can do that yourself with modding .DAT image files. Only shows up for you. Not that I've done it, but I can't say I've never considered putting that bondage slave mithra tied up in my mog house to greet me instead of Mr. Moogle.

The only Mog I will accept.
No stupid little balls of fluff. they must be Awsome. The taru has Cute coverd.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Yeah, adding Moogles is a good idea. Then I can kick the snot out of those fluffy little abominations.
They kinda freak me out.
Nice art, but that's not a moogle of any sort, save for the white fur and pompom.
That is a beast - a berserker feral with heavy Vincent Valentine influence (most likely in the spirit of fun, ilke the "mascot" dressphere). I mean really look at it. It reminds me of a moomba before a moogle, and Vincent before anything else.
Which raises an interesting point. Forget for a moment that Vincent uses a gun and transforms, switching from ranger to berserker. With the specifics of his claw, cape, and dark theme, his character concept could be developed into a brand new class all together...

Actually it is a Mog. MacHall was working on a Oblivion Mod with this as his Charictor :P
But I like the idea of a Berserker

Hehe, Kupo! ''Stiltzkin to the Moogle rescue Kupo!''
Clank, Clank..Clank..
''Uh oh, Kupo! It's the sound of rusty!!''
*Clank, Clank, Clank.*
"I thought of relinquishing my knighthood many times after Alexandria was destroyed... But there are still things I must protect. Seeing this sky convinced me."
"Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?""
Kupo!! It's that old rusty bucket, Steiner!!! Run for It moogs!!!!
I could see myself as a litte fluff ball of might, taking names and loving it. The likely hood of adding new races to the game is not very high at all, it's only a year away (im assuming) and they need to work out all the bugs now. But here's to hoping.
Especially since It's Square-Enix. Usually once they release the ''core info'' of their games, there's usually never too much addidtions or changes, It is kind of doubtful there would be moogles at release, but maybe they'll make them playable in a an expansion one day? Or maybe It's just not in the XIV dev's team interest to add them to the playable race selection.
I would love to see moogles in game.
But since the Tarus already have the small, cute magic user persona covered, and the elvaans and galkas tend to be the muscular types, I think it would be perfect if the moogles were a race that is focused on dexterity/agility. I believe this also has precedence in the FF Tactics Advance games since moogles held jobs such as thieves, tinkerers, jugglers and gunners among other things (yes I realize they could be black mages or moogle knights too).
Also, if they keep the mithra race female only, this could at least give male players a dexterity based race to play if we refuse to use female avatars.
Well, anyway, just by looking at my handle you could probably guess I would play as a moogle no matter what!
What if they added zidane's race as dexterity/agility it would suit them more then moogles. Maybe they should make it possible to have a moogle as "pet" that everyone could get with some quest.
Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game in the series, so of course I would love to see a ''genome'' Zidane like race
Don't forget though, that powerhouse Mog the moogle from FFVI ( III U.S ) That was a DPS and tank machine. Wielding heavy spears/lance, shields, knives and heavy armor. Who says moogles Can't be Melee/Tank powerhouses? Not Yoshinori Kitase, that's for sure.
But yes I would love to see a Zidane ''Genome'' like race, Zidane is just too awesome of a character to pass on that oppurtunity.
I know what you mean but they can't be do like that in an online game else they would be overpowered :P,
And usually there is only 1 cute race in a MMO (Thank God) how i hate cute races xD
i too would like moogles to be added to the game as a playable char. .
