Speaking of Moogles.
In the original FFTactics (specifically on Playstation), when you used the Moogle summon, there were two versions. The "chanted spell" and the spell name displayed without the chant.
The chant went something like, "Kupo! Round and round you go! Moogle!" (Which is kind of relevant to FFXI, but this whole part is totally beside my point.)
When you summoned it without the chant, though, there was what appeared to be a translation error, as it would display the name as, "Mogri". Now, it got me to thinking. Since the Japanese pronounce certain things differently from us, I got to thinking about it one day and for some reason, I made this weird connection in my head between Mogri, and Mogwai.
It kind of made me wonder if the idea of the Moogle didn't happen to come from the Mogwai. They at the very least appear to be distant cousins.
And no, I'm not trying to be super serious and I'm not trying to actually make a point. I'm bored and I had that thought the other day and figured I'd share.
For those who don't know what a Mogwai is:
P.S. Never feeding my Moogle after midnight ever again, just in case.
