Final Fantasy fans are arguing over the redesigned moogles inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

In Rebirth, though, they’re quite different: elongated bodies, round eyes, and… teeth.

This meme, for instance, has dubbed the new lead moogle as Miguel with a nefarious past.

Japanese players described the new moogle design as a catfish.

Others have suggested the Rebirth moogle looks like Matthew McConaughey, of all people.

It must be the teeth.

The discourse has reached such a peak that evenSquare Enixitself has stepped in.

“We love all of our moogles and will not stand for this, kupo!”

reads a post from the publisher on social media platform X.

It actually featured back inFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeas part of the Chocobo Moogle summon.

Plus there’s Yuffie’s poncho and this little kid from the slums.

Personally I quite like the new moogle design.

The redesign has got fans debating their favourites though.

Many have pointed to Nektar, the moogle in last year’sFinal Fantasy 16.

Others prefer the moogle design fromKingdom Hearts.
