Final Fantasy fans debate Rebirth’s moogle redesign
Final Fantasy fans are currently embroiled in a lively debate over the redesigned moogles featured in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Moogles, the charming little white creatures known for their flying abilities, have appeared in various forms throughout the series, with each installment offering a unique design twist.
In Rebirth, the moogles have undergone a significant transformation, now characterized by elongated bodies, round eyes, and noticeably sharp teeth. This fresh take on the beloved creatures has sparked a mixture of horror and amusement among fans, leading to a flurry of memes.
One particular meme has dubbed the new lead moogle “Miguel,” suggesting a nefarious backstory for this whimsical character. The reactions have been widespread, with fans sharing their thoughts across social media platforms.
Japanese players have humorously compared the new moogle design to a catfish, highlighting the significant deviation from traditional appearances.
Interestingly, some fans have suggested that the new moogle bears a resemblance to actor Matthew McConaughey, attributing this to its distinctive teeth. The discourse has escalated to the point where even the publisher has responded, stating, “We love all of our moogles and will not stand for this, kupo!” This declaration was made on a social media platform, showcasing the lighthearted nature of the debate.
Fans are also sharing jokes about the new moogle, with one user humorously claiming that a moogle attempted to sell them heroin on the streets of Junon.
Interestingly, this redesign isn’t entirely new; it first appeared in Final Fantasy 7 Remake as part of the Chocobo Moogle summon.
The moogle redesign also appeared in the remastered prequel Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, likely to align with the stylistic changes seen in Remake.
While the new moogle design has sparked intense debate, many fans appreciate the change. Although it lacks the iconic big nose and narrowed eyes of the classic design, the new moogle still retains its endearing qualities.
This redesign has prompted fans to reminisce about their favorite moogle designs from previous games. Some have expressed a preference for Nektar, the moogle from Final Fantasy 16, while others fondly recall the moogles from the Kingdom Hearts series.
What are your thoughts on the new moogle design? Which version do you prefer? The debate continues as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers a rich and playful reimagining of a beloved classic.
