Which are better, chocobos or moogles?

[Loony BoB]

Imagine a world in which Square Enix must forever destroy one iconic and beloved animal companion from the FF series. Two adorable Final Fantasy creatures enter the arena, only one will be the winner in a torrent of feathers, fur and blood. Who would you support for the ultimate victory?

Moogles have a lot of functionality in terms of character, but chocobos are the​ mascot

[CimminyCricket]

I don't care for either! The Moomba should be the new FF Mascot!


Viva la Moomba! (or some other relatable phrase)

Moomba was originally going to be in the poll but I felt a dead heat between the two behemoths ("behemoths" probably a bad choice of word considering tge prominence of behemoths in FF but you know what I mean) of Final Fantasy in this one.

[CimminyCricket]

It's never too late to add the moomba.

[Parker]

chocobos for sure

[Loony BoB]

The Moomba isn't involved in this battle. Perhaps they will join the fight in a future poll. ;)

[Jinx]

I hate chocobos.

[blackmage_nuke]

Moogles. Specifically Mog but there are other pretty swish ones too

[Ayen]

No. You can't make me choose, BoB. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!

*squeezes both tightly*

[theundeadhero]

I'm not particularly fond of either.

Tonberries!

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I kind of want to say Moogles assuming we'd have another creature to mount with chocobos gone. Moogles tend to be more fun, I think.

Make way for the champion

[Shorty]

50/50 tie!

[Rantz]

Look, chocobos are great and all, but there's only one sensible choice here.

I just. I can't. I b.but. I. Well.

:( I don't like this one.

[Sephiroth]

Kweh, kweh. The Ivalice Moogles however are some fluffy cuties.

[Psychotic]

Chocobo for life. Although of the two species, the best individual creature was definitely Mog.

...no not the XIII-2 one.

...or that little trout in the Golden Saucer game.

...no, not Eiko's Moogle either.

...god damnit no I don't mean MiniMog the GF.

LOOK I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ONE IN FFVI OK

[Shauna]

I think I prefer moogles. Although chocobos are great too.

[Flying Mullet]

Chocobos are lower in fat but Moogles contain a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids. Chocobos go well with a crisp hefeweizen while Moogles compliment a nutty stout. Everyone loves a Chocobo barbeque in the summer but it's hard to pass up a Moogle roasting in the oven while the snow is falling outside in the winter.

I'm going to have to say I prefer both in moderation.

[Spooniest]

MOGLIES FOR LYFE

[Kalevala]

You can't tell me that riding a chocobo into battle wouldn't be one of the most exhilarating moments of your life. What are you going to do with a moogle? Talk to it? No. They're terrible at conversation. You're going to get a chocobo and ride it around and enter it in chocobo shows and look fabulous.

[Shorty]

Still tied, omg xD

Kalevala raises some very good points.

Counter arguments?

Those are cupcakes, Rantz. Cupcakes weren't even an option in this poll. Focus.

[Shorty]

They bloody well should be.

[Madonna]

To lose chocobos is the greater folly; we had beavers once, and we can have beavers again.

[Kalevala]

They bloody well should be.

Chocobos vs. cupcakes is an entirely different story.

[Shorty]

Chocobos lose in that scenario.

It's the hatching one on the left that wins me over.

Now not only am I conflicted, but I'm hungry too. THANKS EOFF!

[Jinx]

Counter-argument: chocobos are just giant birds. Moogles are a completely unique species!

AND THEY HAVE POMS!

[Freya]

I just can't decide. I refuse to vote :colbert:

[Jiro]

Those cupcakes look damn fine.

[Raistlin]

Chocobos all the way. I agree with Psy that individually Mog may be superior (though Frocobo is pretty close), but overall chocobos > moogles. In the the games, chocobos are useful, whereas moogles are frequently not much more than a cameo or gimmick.

[Freya]

I'm gonna go with chocobos why?

CHOCOLINA!

This was a tough one for me. I love moogles and loved the playable one in FFVI, but at the end of the day, I have many more fond memories of chocobos. WARK! KWEH!! uhh... *shakes ass as it runs in the up direction*

[black orb]

>>> Getting spammed with mail that you did not ask for vs crossing long distances fast and with no monster encounters. Chocobos are more useful..:luca:

[Formalhaut]

Chocobos are better, on balance. I think the best iteration of moogles for me was FFXII. They were more realistic, and less cartoonish like Mog is in FFXIII-2 (although Mog, as a character is just adorable).

I don't know, Moogles that command the elements through dance, can stop a raging knight, and sharpshoot your enemies from a distance over a bird that runs away at the slightest provacation when it isn't summoning meteors to murder you sounds like a better deal to me.

>>> Ok, they were useful in FF6. But the poor chocobos have been enslaved since forever, and they do all the dirty work..:luca:

[VeloZer0]

I have a confession to make, I never really like moogles all that much.
