Dev Blog - April 1st - Minion battles

I need those Viangaa minions.

Unless they're sold in the cash shop because to hell with that.

Square

Square please

Please do the thing PLEASE

Spoiler warning:

Next year: Dating sim with a viangaa :)

I was actually hoping this was real, with just the Viangaa minions being the joke. I got reeled in for a minute. I mean, wasn't there a pet battle arena in FFXI? Well played, SE.

I have a love/hate relationship with April Fools day. I always looked forward to seeing what elaborate joke Blizzard would come up with every year and, now, SE is no different. It's fun. But catching up on real news is a complete waste of time.

You know what I keep reading every time I see Viangaa? It reminds me of whorl eater.

Idk about minion mini games. But I would love to see minions kill other minions while we stand around. Like how the kitten and pup fight with each other, but one randomly wins. Someone could have a cute nana bear out, and another person's Odin could kill it randomly. Or the Limsa lady minion could shoot a blue bird dead. Or the fat cat could squash a nutkin. Too violent? /shrug

I want everyone to fight my Wind-Up Sun. I'll just poke it until it's high enough that the other minions cannot reach it. BWHAHAHAAHAHA!

I'm amazed they stuck around for 5 hours before complaining.
