Minion battles - Seye Qhesu - 08-23-2015

It's real- http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/257609-Letter-from-the-Producer-LIVE-Part-XXIV-Update-Thread?p=3263941&viewfull=1#post3263941


I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was!

*cough*

So, while I know some people are going to be big on calling it a hackjob or saying FF copied wow with 'pet battles' I must ask who is actually interested in this? Personally, I enjoyed Pet battles when I played wow. I am looking forward to Minion battles and in fact I expect a LS to pop up called 'The Goldsaucer Four'

This actually serves an rp purpose for me as Virara will use the Chigoe minion to do "beetle sumo."

I was so sad when they revealed the minion battles on the live journal as an April fools joke.

But, it isn't april fools?

The live letter that recently came out has minion battles in it, located at the Gold Saucer.

I'm interested mostly because it will be more like RTS battles than a pokemon battle.


RE: Minion battles - Steel Wolf - 08-23-2015

Setting up teams of tinyfriends to do battle in an RTS fun mode for giggles and MGP profit?

Sign me up swiftly. :D

Poor Montblanc will be dismantled.

Yes, but it was first announced as an april fools joke, similar to the Vianga race.

Yeah, I know it was an April Fool's joke but I was wondering why this far in the year someone would think it still was if it was just bought up in the live letter.

Meh. If I had been able to choose the new Gold Saucer attraction, I would've much preferred it to be the ferris wheel (that you can already see at the top of the Gold Saucer miniature at the top of the main counter), or the beloved Ghost Hotel from FFVII.

Or racing with other mounts. Stupid birds have all the glory.

I apparently have a small army prepared for this.


RE: Minion battles - Aduu Avagnar - 08-23-2015

People said I was mad when I announced my 127th addition to my family! I knew I was right!

And Kaguya, I think it was primarily just a statement that they had been sad back then, not that they were still sad.

Ghost Hotel from FFVII would be amazing!!

Ahaha! I can't wait for this! FEAR MY BLUEBIRD FOR HE SHALL REIGN KING OF MINION BATTLES!
I am so excited!!


RE: Minion battles - Cato - 08-24-2015

It looks like it'll be a lot of fun, especially if there's MGP, minions, titles and achievements to be earned. I was hoping for Blitzball, admittedly, but I suspect that'll be something added at a much later date.
