A Point to Minions

I kind of wish that the minions can hang off you shoulders. Other games have done this before.

Not sure if it was mentioned already, but the only really interesting thing I've seen happen is if you have the wolf pup and Couerl Kitten Minon out together they actually hiss and swipe at each other from time to time

Hey everyone,

While these are certainly interesting ideas, the minion system is designed around the idea of a simply cosmetic diversion that follows you around. We will continue to add more unique and fun minions with their own animations but it'll continue to be along the lines of what you've seen thus far.

They should do more like that. After I saw that I was hoping stuff like the Minion of Light would do something near another, like having the WHM one cast a cure on another or something.

EDIT: Oh wait, they are doing more like that!

Increased aggro range for enemies nearby. ;)

"Over here!"

Thank you Hvinire!

Related, any word on permitted us to "turn off" others' Minions from rendering?

I bet this would especially help the PS3 render quite a bit.

Aye. They are really just vanity..

Any chance we can summon minions in more places? :( That's my biggest gripe about dungeons -- I want my kitty following me! I'd also like to see them out while mounted. Behemoth Mount with Baby Behemoth trailing behind anyone? :D

I agree with Ayasu, let us summon them in dungeons.....

Whatever happened to the lore of why these are around? I remember before the game was released you guys were talking about how there would be a quest to explain where all these minions came from, like from a toy maker or something
