Final Fantasy XIII-2
Moogles only really appear as insignia in the 2009 role-playing game XIII, so let’s skip it and look at 2011 sequel XIII-2 instead. In this game, Mog the Moogle acts as a companion and transformable weapon.
Did it terrify me out of slumber? No. With its time-keeping staff, Mog appears as an idealized Sandman, the physical embodiment of all the sheep I’ve been counting before I drift off. Its squishy-looking but glistening cheeks remind me of a bao bun, while its crystalline pom-pom is like a rhinestone bead, and its shiny nose is like a pink pearl. This is a fantastic Moogle, grounded both in dreams and reality. 10/10
Will I make it breakfast? Yes, this Moogle deserves a hot plate of bacon and yolky eggs. 8/10
Final score: 9/10
