Minions

Do You feel XI should have them?

Basically, little critters that follows the player around like other MMO. Think it would be a neat thing to add to log-in rewards or something.

If they did not count towards party members & had some hidden effect, that would be cool. I guess Monster rearing has minions, lol.....in a way......(They don't leave the garden however).

One could say BST or DRG pets are minions......I suppose.....

Nah, there's enough visual clutter.

FFXI has a comparatively low object limit to FFXIV and often this is taken up by players using pets and trusts, so I don't think it would be a good idea to have anything more add to this.
