Worst Moogle design in the Final Fantasy series?

VIII because it has no pom. The best moogles are XIV's even if they can be absolutely insufferable assholes. Its ok though, because there's lots of quests where you can put them back in their place. My favorite is one where you can slap the shit out of a particularly arrogant one.
I didn't know about the cat and rabbit mogs and they are PRECIOUS
Meanwhile I'll happily punch the face of the 13-2 one

That's a cat with bat wings. Fight me!I will physically fight everyone who voted VIII minimog. It's fucking adorable and you all need taste knocked into you.
I dislike the FFXIV ones. They look like they just have a gross pimple on their face and weird noodle arms.
Like that's a bad thing
Look, I'm not going to redraw your Eevee so it looks more like a Moogle and then tell you what a great Eevee I drew.
Any that involves a voice actor actually saying "kupo". It was better when it was just this weird noise they made.
Yeah, I'd agree that these are the best. Especially VI and IX's. The heavier workload put into more thoroughly realizing that style in FFXIV honestly kicks things a notch backward.
You're missing the weird mutant koala from FF7r
Okay that can not be real.
It's an adorable combination to create the current best moogle. We about to throw fists up in here.

the moogle quest line in FFXIV HW makes them automatically the ugliest moogle by far. you might think that doesn't make sense BUT IT DOES
fuck this creature

They look cool and have some great characters, but thet don't look like moogles. They look like hummingways/mysidian rabbits wearing pom hats. Moogles are supposed to look like a mix of moles and bats, so they are round and squinty-eyed. Long ears, thin bodies, and big round eyes aren't moogle traits.

FF's recurring characters have many iterations (not including Biggs and Wedge ofc). Chocobos, Carbuncles, monsters in general etc have all looked very different depending on the game. And considering the Ivalice style has been in more than one game why should they not count just because you have a minimum requirement of what they should look like?
Its a white furred cat faced, bat winged, pompom on a wire group of creatures/people. Ivalice just made them closer to a humanoid fantasy race of people.
Are FFXV's Gundam Bahamut and human-like Ifrit not real because its different and you don't like it?

Out of those listed its definitely the XIII ones. Most of the ones in the list aren't even bad, just different and usually based on a real animal. (XII has my favourite moogle type)
But the real answer is...

Absolutely this. I absolutely despise this thing. Especially its weird buckteeth.You're missing the weird mutant koala from FF7r

It is unfortunate that you feel so strongly about something you are wrong about
Yea, but it only shows up in a blink and you'll miss it summon so it barely even registers.
I feel like i could have given this a pass if fhe body proportions weren't so off putting
facefuck
with the thumb oh my god
that rabbit is a cool ass commando motherfucker tho, the other ones are all good

The Chocobos throughout the FFXIII series are generally the same.
Not to derail the thread, but for Chocobo's sake, my faves are probably FFXII and FFXV's Chocobos in the more "realistic" sense. Hell, I think FFXV's Chocobos look more like a "realistic take" on the old FFVII Chocobo designs than the Chocobo design for FFVIIR (Chocobo Mog summon).
All I see is a legend in the animal communications field and a unit of absolute Canadian heroesWho hurt you, OP? No Moogles are the worst Moogles.
So the answer is Final Fantasy II's beavers.
Except they look great. They're original and adorable. They stand out on their own without being derivative or relying on nostalgia. They can be much more expressive and showcase individuality. They look like they belong in the world of Ivalice. People just hate them for being different but they're great for everything they are.
Chocobo and moogle designs vary but their core characteristics remain in each iteration for the most part. The biggest departure in the norm is obviously the IvaIice one. I think they're a lot better of a design for a fantasy creature than a lot of the other moogle iterations, but it's disappointing because it lacks the charm and consistency of a mascot. Final Fantasy has certain characters where you expect wild departures, but also many that stay relatively the same (chocobos, moogles, cactuar, tonberry, even Marlboro). When I'm asked which is the worst moogle I'm going to say it's the one that doesn't look like a moogle.
What really fucks this design up is the open eyes. Moogles gotta have sleepy eyes. Hell, I'd say their faces are supposed to look like sleeping koalas, not koalas that are awake. A classic Moogle a pudgy little bi-pedal bear body (think Winnie the Pooh, a tubby, little furry person) with a sleeping koala face, cat ears and whiskers(maybe general head shape), bat wings, and a single pom antenna. Any deviation from that look is going to feel strange. Accept no substitutes...

FF7R moogle is fucking adorable compared to these ABOMINATIONS
Looks like Frieza and Goku in furry forms
