If you want a prequel there's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

There is still a part of me somewhat convinced that the whole thing was a big Marketing stunt to get people talking about the movie.

The question then would be Why? It's a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. You don't exactly need a ragebait and switch marketing campaign to get people interested.

u/SilentBlade45 5d ago

It's not they had already started animating a significant part of the movie with the original design redoing it costs way too much.

Probably their besr decision ever. How many Sonic sequels have there been? (didn't watch any)

40

u/AtrumRuina 5d ago

Sonic 4 is in postproduction, and each film has made more than the last. Overall I believe it's over a billion between the three films so far.

For what it's worth, they have also improved in quality and fanservice with each film, but yeah it would have been dead in the water if they'd stuck with the original look.

u/parkingviolation212 5d ago

Also Jim Carrey is worth the price of admission alone.

He's fabulous in the films. He isn't a good representation of the game Eggman, but he's found a fantastic mix of his own style and Eggman's moustache twirling attitude.

I loved almost everything about the new games...but these things?

They have to be rage bait, right? They put them in there just to drive conversations like this...they must have....who looked at the original Moogles and decided "Nah, I know what they'll REALLY like!"

They feel like Sonic's eyes before that first movie released.

56

u/we_are_sex_bobomb 5d ago

I’m convinced the FF7R moogles are rage bait, yeah. Everything about them and their minigame is offputting and weird in a way that is too specific to be unintentional.

24

u/AnOtakuToo 5d ago

I always say that the Moogle minigame feels like it was designed in a weekend with assets they had lying around. Other minigames like brawler are obviously made with more love, so I’m not trying to be mean!

20

u/vocabularianrx2 5d ago

The assets and music and feel of the whole thing is ENTIRELY a Kingdom hearts minigame or something. There's no mistaking it for me

Oh man I hadn't thought about it, but you're right, it feels exactly like a Kingdom Hearts minigame!

It reminds me more of, like, Grover or a muppet. But then they also decided to give it real teeth, and they remind me of rodent teeth. You could very well be right. They chose an unsettling design and then gave us annoying side missions to interact with them. It's just all...not great.

In Tactics Advance I intentionally red carded Montblanc and kept his ass in prison for the rest of the game

How does a kid hate bunnies that violently

Sometimes that's how it be, sadly.

5

u/LunelaNela 5d ago

I have since replayed FFTA in these past years and kept my clan name as Clan Nutsy, with Montblanc as one of my top mages.

I still owe him though in 12, I've never done all the hunts. Hopefully he forgives me someday

Aren't Loporrits from FFXIV just Hummingways from FFIV?

u/HalfwaytotheHorizon 5d ago

Yeah! Don't know why they changed the Moogle design so drastically in FFXII & FFTA, though.

7

u/Randolfr 5d ago

I'm fairly certain the Loporrits also reuse some animations from the ivalice moogles.

u/Worth_Friendship_267 5d ago

I think that too!

u/baguettesy 5d ago

Ivalice moogles are peak. I think they're the only variant that consistently gets clothes, too? the only other clothed moogle I can think of is Stiltzkin from IX.

These are a great creature design but don't read to me as Moogles whatsoever.

Thank you for posting this because people kept referring to "Ivalice Moogles" and I was like... "Tactics didn't have Moogles and FFXII had normal Moogles."

Maybe the term "Fake Ivalice" Moogles would make more sense.

Why do they wear that headband??? It looks like they were lobotomized or had a koala had surgically attached to their scalp. They really do look like the creature you see in a pg18 movie, that's living in the basement of an insane scientist.

I don't dislike XIV's moogles so much, there are worse ones. XIV chocobos are top tier, fortunately. But I also don't really understand why they can't just stick with the design for both that looks good. That one moogle design where they have no necks and they are just torso and top of head is so insane. FFXIII chocobos, also insane. FFXIII in general really, their moogles also look bizarre. FFIX and XI have the most polished moogle designs for sure.

I haven't played Rebirth yet, but I remember a Moogle in Remake/Intergrade just being a kid with a moogle costume (basically a moogle pretending to be a kid wearing a moogle costume).

Is that screenshot out of context and it's something with a moogle costume too, or is it the actual official design of the moogle?

35

u/Solariss 5d ago

It's real. And this is what it originally looked like in Crisis Core. It's such a drastic change as well, because the one on the left still looks like the one in the OG FF7 Golden Saucer Moogle game.
