Art Style

Throughout the years Moogles have been depicted in various styles:

Classic

Moogles first appeared in Final Fantasy IIIin 1990 on the NES in Japan. Originally they were depicted as small, white, cat-like, furry creatures with small wings. A pom pom was added to the Moogles in Final Fantasy V (Game), the first Final Fantasy game for the SNES in 1992.

Realistic

First introduced in Final Fantasy Tactics (Game)Advance in 2003, and used throughout the rest of the Tactics series and eventually adopted in Final fantasy XII in 2006, "realistic" Moogles are usually of a somewhat more yellow colour compared to their classic depiction and quite a bit taller and slender. Unlike the classic depiction, they always wear clothes and their ears can be compared to those of a rabbit. Despite still having wings, they can not fly.

Bubble

Unique to the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series that started in 2004, Moogles are shown to be small, white, furry, round "bubble" like creatures with no visible neck or arms. Unlike the classic and the realistic depiction of Moogles in the Crystal Chronicles series, bubble Moogles can actually fly.

Final Fantasy V

...

Final Fantasy VI

Final Fantasy VI was the first game that introduced moogles to Final Fantasy fans outside of Japan. Both of their previous appearances in Final Fantasy III and V never made it out of Japan. Moogles played a decidedly bigger role in Final Fantasy VI than previous Final Fantasy games as they were far more integral to the plot. In addition to playing a bigger role in the plot, players also got a chance to play as a moogle for a brief period. They could play as the moogle Mog (Character), who was able to join the player's party.

In addition to this, moogles were also responsible for Mognet, a service ran by the moogles for delivering letters. However, the player discovers during the course of the game that letter delivery has slowed down recently and the moogles would request that the player help to deliver letters for the moogles in exchange for items.
