Mognet (Dissidia)

Mognet is a feature in Dissidia Final Fantasy that is connected to the calendar. Every day, the player receives one or more letters. Yellow letters, received daily, are general correspondence, whereas blue letters are from Mognet Head Office or from the traveling moogle Nomad. Most letters will arrive with 30PP attached to them, and they may also come with Friend Cards, additional PP, or sometimes even special accessories. All letters, apart from the first Mognet Head Office one and those received from Nomad, can be received repeatedly provided that the conditions are met each time.
It is possible to abuse Mognet by manipulating the PlayStation Portable clock or leaving Dissidia started up in sleep mode, the latter of which fails to reset the clock and continues counting. Unlike some handheld games, Dissidia cannot detect this exploit.
The moogle shown on the letters from Mognet Head Office is drawn in a style resembling the moogles in the Kingdom Hearts series.
== Blue letters ==
Letters from Mognet Head Office are received based on the frequency with which the player plays Dissidia, while letters from Nomad contain gameplay advice. Unlike all other letters, the Nomad letters can only be obtained once per save file.
Nomad letters seem to be obtained every day after starting a new save file (apart from the day on which it is started), except on days when another blue letter is received from Mognet Head Office. Once the first of the two "Master Dissidia!" letters (number 20 below) has been received, the player receives no more letters from Nomad until an unknown trigger causes him to send the final one (number 21).
=== Nomad ===
=== Mognet Head Office ===
Received on the first day after starting a save file

Received after having received at least 10 letters
== Yellow letters ==
Yellow letters are correspondence from a variety of moogles. Each one will continue until that particular chain of letters ends, and then another correspondence will be randomly selected to begin on the next day. All yellow letters start by asking the player a question, then on the following day, the moogle's reaction to the player's answer is received. The next question (or the start of the next correspondence) will be received on the day after that.
=== Mogstache's quizzes ===
Mogstache is a moogle who likes to test the player's Final Fantasy knowledge, and there are three quizzes that he can set. Each question is rewarded with 30PP regardless of the answer given, but if the player answers incorrectly, the quiz abruptly ends. Correct answers are rewarded with Superslick for all but the last question of each quiz, which instead earns the player a Friend Card.

(If the player answered "...exciting!" or "...thrilling!")
What would you like?
== References ==
Many of the letters (especially Mogstache's quizzes) make direct and obvious references to things in the rest of the Final Fantasy series. Other letters contain references that are less overt, such as the following.
* "the paintings in the Old Chaos Shrine" are of the Four Fiends
* "Just like that guy" appears to be a reference (to what?)
* Manager A is evidently using Superslick to treat his fur, like Artemicion does in Final Fantasy IX
* The mention of a Gold Hairpin is a reference to the event in Final Fantasy VI where Mog is recruited
* The mention of racing and dungeon spinoffs is a reference to the games of the other main Final Fantasy series mascot, namely the Chocobo Racing and Chocobo's Dungeon sub-series.
