Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Players Call Moogles "Creepy" And "Hideous"
05.03.2024 - 12:11 / thegamer.com
What if moogles looked like koala bears... with human teeth? I'm so glad you asked, because Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gives us the answer. Horrifying. They would look horrifying.
"I follow both Japanese and American people here, and I love how both cultures agree that Rebirth moogle looks cursed [as fu**]," Twitch streamer celina_0801 tweeted. "I see people ACTUALLY being disappointed in this but hell nah I love this chaotic look AWESOME JOB Square Enix, keep it like this".
"FF7 Rebirth Moogle has been trending in Japan with users saying it looks super creepy," YouTuber Genki Gamer said. "Some users are comparing it to the FF16 Moogle and saying it’s like the one in the online profile picture vs the one in real life!"
Not only have they drawn comparisons to koala bears, but someone even likened them to Jack Frost from the equally as cursed 1998 movie. "I just realised why the moogles in FF7 Rebirth are so unsettling to me," StillNeedleworkker611 posted on the Vinesauce subreddit.
"They look unsettling for me because they remind me of that period when people insisted on doing photorealistic versions of cartoon characters for live-action movies, like Scooby Doo, Garfield, Smurfs, and Woody Woodpecker," guil13st commented.
Granted, this isn't the first time we've seen this moogle design. Crisis Core Reunion, the remaster of the PSP spin-off, was the first game to update moogles and make them look more like koala bears. It was controversial then, and it's controversial now.
We're just normal mogs. We're just innocent mogs.
"I feel like moogle designs and personalities have slowly degraded over time," OperattivePiGuy said.
"Jeeze, glad it's not just me - they were so off-putting when I first saw them; I think part of it was the teeth?!" Lyude7 added.
Luckily, you can't torture moogles like you can Koroks in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so as nightmarish as these koala bears might be, they're at least left to their own devices.
Final Fantasy Rebirth is the second part of the FF7 Remake project. It continues the story of Cloud Strife, a former SOLDIER turned mercenary who joins Avalanche, a group of eco-terrorists seeking to save the planet from the malevolent Sephiroth. As the party pushes out of Midgar, leaving the Shinra Corporation devastated, where will their paths take them?

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: How Nobuo Uematsu and Loren Allred created Aerith’s “No Promises to Keep”
We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's 'Creepy' Moogles Are Giving Players the Ick | Push Square
A series constant, Final Fantasy's Moogle is a familiar sight to many, and along with the Chocobo, serves as a mascot of sorts for the franchise. But the busted-looking Moogle we got in the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been rejected by a particular segment of the community, who are convinced the gritty redesign looks more like Matthew McConaughey playing a drug mule named Miguel than a fantastical portmanteau of mole and bat.
