And the Wii U #FE game also, damn there's too many of them.

We probably haven't even heard of half the awesome shit that'll come out in 2017.

Get ready for Kingdom Hearts III, Dragon Quest XI and Final Fantasy VIIR.
Square Enix is unstoppable.
I'm just coming at this from my experience as an artist. Moogles and their designs change depending on the game and its art direction. It is indisputable.
So while moogles look like this in FFIX, which is has a chibi art style:
The traditional moogle design makes sense and compliments the games art style.
Whereas in Final Fantasy XII, they look like this.
In a game with as many different humanoid races as XII, a moogle design like that makes sense. If XII's moogle looked like the traditional moogle in IX, it wouldn't gel with the world as much because it doesn't compliment its art style.
Realistic does not mean any less fantastical. Behemoths look realistic but they're pretty fantasy-based. I'm not sure how a cat with a ball antenna and wings will be any less fantastical just because it's realistic.
It's not a "mentality". It's just basic art design.
A game that looks like this:
Has little reason having moogles that look like this:
It's not a "mentality". It's just common sense. It doesn't mean there shouldn't be moogles, but redesigning moogles to fit the world a bit more, would be expected. I'm not sure why that's a controversial statement given that's how moogles and chocobos have always been handled.
In FFIX, chocobo's look like this because it's a more cutesy game.
Compare to XII which is more realistic and the chocobos are bred for war purposes:
Same concept.
Are Final Fantasy XII's chocobos any less fantastical due to their more realistic design?
No.
So don't argue that FF15's moogles would be less fantasy-based just because they're treated more realistically. It is, after all, still a flying cat. There's nothing realistic about that concept on this Earth.
Just gonna point out that XII's moogles look like that because that's how they look in the Ivalice universe/tactics games...what you're trying to point out is not really common sense. Moogles do not really follow your point, but yes, chocobos are something that do follow the general art direction of the game's art style.
Getting both Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy VIIR P1 in 2017 would be amazing.
It's not certain when either will release but next year is the most probable time at this point.
(fingers crossed they don't get delayed or something!)

KH3 could come out next year. Also Dragon Quest XI. And Ni no Kuni 2, maybe. And to be honest, who has the time to clear out ALL these games in one year? You'll be playing well into the next.

I'm starting to feel this way now too, I knew it wouldn't make last year but if I don't make this year in the NA I'm going to be pissed.I keep getting the feeling that P5 will miss 2016...

It was kept alive barely last gen but we did get some interesting titles. Last Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles and my favorite of the bunch (hence my avatar) Nier.
So it wasn't all bad but it wasn't what we were used to, that's for sure.

The ugliest AND most out of place Moogles were in FFXIII-2.
They were Sonic 2006 levels of bad.

I want this to be good so badly, but I've been burned too many times. Plus the talk about "we might add this in a dlc " does not sound reassuring
I do love each of those titles, and there was some great handheld games (Radiant Historia). But it still certainly felt more like we were getting a send off. I am just glad to see I was wrong.
Yeah, it's wonderful. There are so many in the next few years that I know I won't be able to play them all, which is kind of unbelievable.

I've seriously considered making a spreadsheet, I can never remember all the possibly 2016 or early 2017 RPGs.
But Bravely Second, Blood and Wine, Setsuna, DQ11, Nier, Ni No Kuni 2, SO5, P5, FFXV are all top of mind
Thanks to Mognet's @Rin:

I love how "real" all the monsters look.

Yeah, true. I also forgot the Witcher 3 expansion, just finished Hearts of Stone and it felt huge for a DLC.
I feel we're living the golden RPG time again.

Does it detract from my overall point? Nope.

Those moogles aren't out of place in a game world where a baby chcocobo lives inside a man's hair.
The problem is that it's the ugliest moogle ever. If it were a bit more cute it'd be fine. In a game world where the characters have pink hair and Shiva turns into a motorcycle it's not that out of place at all, though.

You just don't know adorable.
Supposedly Blood and Wine is much larger too. I have a feeling I'm going to lose another 30 hours trying to beat it, lol.

god damn, they really know how to make you hate something, dont they?
The FFXIII moogles were certainly ugly, but it was that damn voice that did me in. I never want to hear a moogle talk again, an audible "KUPO!" will never translate well. They should just stick to the XIV method of having them make their usual sounds and communicate in your head.

I always appreciated the expression of the front-and-center Moogle. He's basically a plushy chastity belt. LR is such a weird game that I just quit caring and had fun with it.

Another person excited for #FE!!!!
The game is doomed/destined to be the most underrated JRPG of THIS GEN. I'm calling it now.. 
Another person excited for #FE!!!!
It's on WIIU, that's already a guarantee for underrated.
Atlus sucks for spreading their game all over the place. If I want to play all the Persona spin-off (I assume this is one judging form the look of it), I'll have to buy a PS4, a Vita, a PS3, a 3DS and a WiiU, and I really don't want to buy a WiiU for one or two games, especially when NX comes out, I won't even be able to sell my WiiU for a reasonable price.

I'm trying my best to convince more Persona fans to give the game a chance and its looking like some of them actually are gonna give #FE a shot.
I can't help but drool. I found my waifu!!!
And to those thinking, "Uh, that's cool and all... but #FE has nothing to do with FF XV. Pls, Mediking."
Hahah don't worry. Obligatory FF XV gifs:
Speaking of this image, it seems they replaced the old Prompto in the key vis with his new (well 2014) design now.

If this ends up being true then I'll have this, Luke Cage, and that new Tim Burton to look forward to.
Nah from his 2013 face, in 2014 his face/hair were changed and they just now updated this poster from 2013 with his 2014 face design.

Sincerely hope this is like FFXIII's promotional CG artwork where the characters looked 500x uglier than the actual CGI cinematics in the game
Please be irate.
Final fantasy 13 versus was announced when I was still in high school. There have been many ups and lots of downs on this journey. Part of me will only believe it when I have the game loaded up and the controller in my hands. Either way I am stoked for this game.
plz let there be an airship

Mog (or whatever the main Moogle's name is) legit dropped my enjoyment of XIII-2 by a point or two. Literally can't think of a game character that annoyed me more in my life. Kupo is etched into my black soul as a taboo word that immediately triggers a wave of negative memories now, to the point I don't want Moogles in future Final Fantasy titles. They ruined that character for me.
