Template:Sideicon Template:Location Moore, or Mua in the RPGe fan translation, is a town in Final Fantasy V. Appearing in the second and third worlds and surrounded by mountains, the only way to access it is through a submarine, or by wind drake, by landing on the plain east of town, but after the merging of the worlds, it can be accessed on foot.
In the second world, Moore is located west from the Great Forest of Moore where Enuo's powers were sealed, while in the merged world, the Pyramid of Moore and the Desert of Shifting Sands take the place from the Great Forest. Moore is spared from the destruction brought by Exdeath when he summons the Void.

Quests
Piano
The party leader can play a piano at the pub. Playing all the pianos in the world acquires the last song, Hero's Rime, after showing the newfound pianist skills to the bard in Crescent. The piano in Moore is the seventh piano the player is likely to encounter, and if the player played all the previous ones, the party leader will play an excerpt from Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca".
Chicken Knife and Brave Blade
In the merged world, the Brave Blade or Chicken Knife can be obtained in this town, by entering the house blocked in the second world.
Chicken Knife is the strongest knife, and can potentially become stronger than even Ragnarok if the player runs away 255 times (as a sword, the Ragnarok only benefits from Strength, while the Chicken Knife benefits from both Strength and Agility). The Chicken Knife has 127 Attack; it grants +5 Speed; and when attacking with it, it has a 25% chance of making the party run automatically from the fight. Commands other than Attack, such as Rapid Fire and Mug, bypass the auto-running trait.
Brave Blade is one of the most powerful weapons in the original SNES and Anthology versions, being exceeded by a few weapons in the Advance and succeeding versions. Brave Blade loses power each time the user runs from battle even before the weapon is obtained, and at its maximum power is stronger than Ragnarok. However, should the user run even once, the weapon's strength will greatly diminish. It has a starting Attack Power of 150, and grants +5 Strength.
To be able to make the choice between either the Chicken Knife or the Brave Blade, the player must head to the left of the Moore inn and go as far as possible, then go down, to two barrels in a line next to a tree. The player should then head in front of the barrels and descend into the small building and into the woods. In the woods the directions are: down, right, down, left, up, right, down. On the last direction, the party will freeze and the screen will go fuzzy, then two boxes and an old man will appear. He tells the player to pick a box, one with the Chicken Knife, and one with the Brave Blade.
If the player chooses the Chicken Knife, the man turns into a skeleton and walks away while making chicken sounds. He doesn't make chicken sounds in the Japanese text–instead, he has an unusual laugh.

Trivia
- In the English localizations the man who gives out either the Chicken Knife or the Brave Blade turns into a skeleton and walks away while making chicken sounds. The man doesn't sound like a chicken in the Japanese text, but instead has an unusual laugh combining hiragana and katakana, giving off an eerie vibe.
