Minion List?

I feel kinda out of the loop... Like I know they look cool but, what exactly do the minions do in the game?

Get in the way when you try to target other things on the screen. :(

LMAO hahaha actually?! (I'm laughing cause of all the times that happened to me when trying to farm atomos and people would stand on the rock that would drop from it (before I realized there was a fast target key *shakes fist*)

I wouldn't be surprised if they considered this in target priority/target filtering.

It would be so nice if they add bonus to minions

Updated with Dalamud minion (Please do not make this JP-exclusive, Yoshida-san!)

Actually I felt kinda envious regarding preorder bonus. However after finding out minions serve no purpose just to give your gpu something to process . I haste to dispel my envy. I suppose V 1.0 owners would want it for collections purpose. And that mog cap ..there is no bonus or special effect I aint got time for that.

I think you'll be safe to simply say: Final Fantasy reference.

He problably meant how that finger hovers around you pointing to you all the time.
Then again, it's still not a FFVII reference, as FFIX did the exact same thing (and looked much better too) and I'm pretty sure FFVIII had something similar too.
More like a Classic Era (Golden Era?) Final Fantasy reference

Our Reps here only give us Japans Sloppy Seconds Answers 99.9% of the time.
(no offence ment to the reps, you do a good job relaying the info from Japanese forums to the English ones, But you dont answer Our Questions)

Also that German Reps responce differs to Jp.

Also Cdjapan says the Minion only comes in: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/icons/first_press_detail.gif First Press Detail a serial-numbered code to obtain a bonus item in the game (system requirements unknown)

So i think alot of us would like an answer & explaination in full.

Well its finaly been sorted from the reps that there will be a EU, NA, import of the JP version avalible through SE.

I'm planning on buying Before Meteor whether it comes out in America or not, so I wonder if the Japanese code works on a North American game registration.

Yip, with the data centres around the world the codes are no longer region locked.

Probably a new minion (seen today on the Japan Expo Livestream):

The red one 2nd from the right closely resembles "Rogue Tomato", it was one of the earlier hunting marks (NM equivalent) in FFXII. I see it as much more likely these will be used for a special fight somewhere.

An angy Mandragora troupe sounds fun lol. Kind of like the moogle primal enemy party dynamics.

Edit: Also, later in the game, the rogue tomato comes back with the rest of the "Mandragora Royalty" for a bigger brawl:

The pointer finger, lol.

Thats the pirates "parrot" that you face in the dungeon.
Not a confirmed minion as yet, but good spotting.
