Square Enix comes to the defence of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's much-maligned Moogles

After players dubbed them "creepy" and "cursed," Square Enix has pushed back against Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players deriding the game's redesigned Moogles.

Earlier this week, we reported on a heated topic of discussion amongst the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth community. Square Enix's Remake sequel quietly redesigned the long-standing Moogles, and players really weren't fans of the redesign, calling them weird koalas and really going out of their way to hate on the creatures' very unsettling teeth. 

Now, Square Enix has stepped in to comment on the Moogles. In the tweet below, the developer and publisher writes that it's well aware of the ongoing Moogle slander, and simply will not stand for any hatred towards the loveable fluffy companions. 

We're addressing the discourse... We love all of our Moogles and will not stand for this, kupo!
