I believe there's some playable moogles that haven't been in yet.

Did somebody say...

In Final Fantasy VI, there are 10 moogles in Narshe that are temporarily playable.

finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ten_Moogles

Because they're named characters, they are eligible to be nominated into SMFFFC. So why not nominate all ten into the contest at once?

For peak efficiency and to avoid any mishaps, I figure the best way for MoogleQuest XXV to work would be knowing the list of who wants to nominate the moogles ahead of time. So if you "pledged" to participate, I'd be tracking the pledges and determine who needs to nominate which moogles (double and single noms) to satisfy all conditions, and then when the nomination topic goes up I'd give you the list of moogles you need to nominate. With enough "pledged" members, we can use our nominations to get all 10 Narshe Moogles into the contest!!

(Alternative option is you just do your own nomination of moogles and some of us just work around what others have done to "fill in the blanks", as it were, though the more coordination that occurs the better our chances of pulling this off!)

It's a challenge to see if it's doable, and I think there's a great opportunity here for users who never nominate any characters during the nomination process to pitch in on this quest. Though I feel like those users probably aren't the ones popping into the nomination topic when it goes up or this results topic almost 2 weeks after the contest ended, but you never know...

And hey, even if you do normally nominate, but you're feeling good about the current slate of characters you'll need to support, why nominate in more to add to your workload? That's 1 double + 5 single nominations that'd be going to waste otherwise, which could instead be donated to the cause!

Worried about some character you support getting booted? There's 10 freebie hard boots right here to lessen your worries!

I'm sure you have questions:

Ok this is ridiculous, why do this?
Why climb a mountain? It's a fun challenge just to see if we can do it!

How many "pledgees" do we need to pull this off?
It depends how much we want to push our luck on this - it would naturally be heartbreaking to only get 8 or 9 Narshe Moogles in instead of all 10 in at once. It's truly a one-shot deal for all 10!

The entry cutoff this year occurred with 8 noms, so if we aim for that at a minimum - and time/structure the nominations in such a way to win any tiebreaker possibilities - it looks like 12 users would be the minimum needed.

At "84" combined noms, that'll give 8 noms to six moogles and 9 noms to four; the six moogles would each receive 48 of the 60 "single" nominations as the first action, in order to satisfy the tiebreakers ("number of nominators, and then by nomination order") with the remaining 12 singles and 12 doubles being allocated to the remaining four. Though that is assuming perfect "pledging" with coordinated nominations, the ideal scenario for sure.

To be even more safe, an extra 13th user would let us get 9 nominations on each moogle so coordination would be less of a need in that case.

We have rules against deals involving future contests, doesn't this break that?
No? No deal is being made here, I am literally giving you nothing other than the joy of participating in this challenge!

"But I want to nominate in [some character softbooted this year / hardbooted 2 years ago / long-forgotten trash from the raytan era / Wakka]"
Stop thinking about it, it's not worth your time.
Look into my eyes.
Nominating in lost causes and frivolous characters is temporary.
THE GLORY OF 10 NARSHE MOOGLES ALL ENTERING THE CONTEST AT THE SAME TIME IS FOREVER!

So, are we going with the GBA or SNES names?
If we're at the point where we need to make that decision, we've already won!!!

Alright that's the post... there is now a non-zero chance I replay FF6 before the next contest and name Locke "MartinFF7" so I get that screenshot perfect.

Anyways, some food for thought over the next 7 months or so!
