Soken Minion PLEASE!

I would love it (and I'm sure many others will as well), if we could get a WoL Soken Minion on the mogstation and have all or some of the proceeds from purchasing the minion go to a cancer organization of Soken's choice. He is a true Warrior of Light and we the community, have so much love and respect for him! Please make this happen!

Soken minion, or woven into the story like the wandering minstrel is the representation of another certain employee.
(and along with genuine hopes and wishes for a long long life with so much new music for us in the years to come)

I'd really also like to see one of the servers in the new upcoming Oceania DC called Soken - because the Gentleman has shown the sort of bravery, courage, dedication, and hard work that exemplifies the absolute best qualities of Eorzia. Bringing his best game, his musical rotation is absolutely on point. In health and sickness he has never skipped a beat. No matter how tricky the mechanics of the fight he remains, and will long remain, a team player who cares so much for his party never doing less than his absolute best.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

They had an emotional moment and you people immediately make a personality cult out of it

Grateful for Soken's work but proceeds to a charity, no. We pay a sub already, and you shouldn't need a cosmetic item to make a donation to any of the charities out there. Go out and make a donation now, you'll help save more lives that need immediate assistance, rather campaigning for a pixelated minion which only effect the people that play this game.

I'm going to be the grumpy person who says no.

Sure, the love and support and appreciation for him is nice, but putting him in the game is a step too far, especially when prominence-wise he's just "one of the dev team". If he gets a minion (or a special NPC as suggested elsewhere), does everyone else need one too?

The whole thing also has a bizarre ring of memorialising him when he's not even dead or close to it. Not that I'd want to see a minion even as a memorial - and it would be the dev team's business to decide if they wanted something in the game, not a fan request.

I love the outpouring of support he's gotten thus far, truly I do! But it's *his* music in the game, he's already integral to the game. Why memorialise him further, it feels like people are counting him as dead or soon-to-be dead when he's in full remission and will be providing more music for (hopefully) years to come. We don't need something ingame to remember him by - he's arguable THE GAME. He's part of the reason it's done so well thus far.

YoshiP has the wandering minstrel because he's the producer. But Soken has the music, and I'd argue that that's even better than a minion, or an NPC, or what have you.

(Though on a different note I will argue for his riveting performance of Lahee to be put ingame someway. Maybe an april fools thing. I wanted that even before the announcement was made. It was hilarious!)

Yeah, that's a different business altogether and with a different purpose. Novelty Fan Fest 2021 souvenir orchestrion roll - and from an in-game perspective it's just a recording of a song that could be sung by anyone.
