People, the FF series didn't start with the 7th installment.....Originally Posted by *ETERNAL FANTASY*
Okay, the first instance of moogles was in FFIII, but the first playable moogle was Mog in FFVI, and he's been brought back into the series in FFVII, FFIX, FFCC, and probably some others I'm forgetting. The thing that Cait Sith rides is supposed to be a giant stuffed moogle, though it bears little resemblance to other moogles. The FFTA moogles were designed by a different person, so naturally they look different. They're sort of a moogle human hybrid. However, their battle sprites look very mooglish. Yoshitaka Amano invented the moogle, so the look they're supposed to have can be found in his works. The word itself (in Japan it's Mogiri I think) is a combination of the Japanese words for Mole and Bat. The pom-pom is just part of Amano's weirdness manifesting itself on paper, but it's become almost the only consistency of the various interpretations of moogles. If you look at Mog from FFVI, the Moogles from SoM, the moogles from KH, the moogles from FFCC, and the Moogles from FFTA, you'll see only similarities, but not exact likenesses.
