Final Fantasy XIII-2 Gameplay Video: The Moogle
Moogle are rather interesting creatures from the Final Fantasy franchise, ranging from rather helpful shopkeepers and item customization vendors to pure mascot roles.
However it seems that the Moogle we’ve seen a little bit of in Final Fantasy XIII-2 plays a more important role then any before. Nicknamed ‘Mog’, this Moogle follows Serah around, acting as a companion, but also as her weapon, helping find treasure and a throwable ragdoll (it has a purpose, don’t worry).
Mog’s also initiates the Mog Clock before battles, which needs to be stopped whilst in the green zone preferably, as that allows for special battle perks when entering. Stop the clock in a grey zone and the battle runs as normal. Stop it in the orange zone, and you make it worse for yourself.
Whilst all these things have been implemented in most modern RPG’s, having one character doing them all is certainly interesting. Whether Mog’s will find a warm place in our hearts or just annoy the crap out of us is yet to be seen.
Check out Square Enix’s video for footage and an introduction to Mog’s:

When he’s not writing up a storm at his desk, he’s playing games like Minecraft, Skyrim, Portal, World of Warcraft, Pokemon…well, the list goes on. He studied English and Creative writing at university, which is where he honed his skills for making the gaming news come alive, with a few terrible typos along the way for good measure. Fret not though, my friend, for he does tell quite an engaging tale with each article, and has had plenty of practice, having written for This Is My Joystick and 3DSBuzz.
In between articles he likes to indulge in one of his addictions: Twitter. @Wortermelon provides a good dose of gold on occasion, and other times leaves you wondering why you’re following such a huge weirdo.
