About

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Moogles refers to the redesign of the Moogle characters in Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the second of Square Enix's multi-game remake of the original Final Fantasy VII. The new design of the Moogle makes them appear slightly more realistic, with open eyes and human teeth as opposed to the closed eyes and closed mouth designs of the original Moogles. designs were widely reviled on social media, as users found them a creepy, unwelcome change, drawing some comparisons to the original Sonic the Hedgehog design for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

Origin

On February 29th, 2024, the release date of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth,[1] Japanese players quickly commented on their distaste for the redesign of the Moogle characters. For example, on that day, Twitter user @philipmorio5mg[2] compared the Final fantasy XIV Moogle design to the Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth design, saying that the latter is "such a different creature that I get nervous" (roughly translated). The tweet gained over 3,200 retweets and 3,200 likes in one week (shown below).

Spread

Over the following days, Japanese artists and memers began making jokes about the new design. For example, on March 4th, 2024, Twitter user @Rivet278[3] compared the design to the anime character Kumakichi from Gag Manga Biyori, gaining over 13,000 retweets and 42,000 likes in one day (shown below, left). The same day, user @ciccowakaba[4] posted art of the Moogle looking murderous, gaining over 660 retweets and 1,700 likes in one day (shown below, right).

They remind me of that era where live action adaptations of cartoons used photorealistic versions of characters, like Scooby Doo, The Smurfs, Garfield, Woody Woodpecker, and more recently, Sonic.

The exact same vibe, ultra realistic eyes, "realistic" proportions, visible teeth, realistic fur and skin.
