Minion and Mount Guides

Thank you Square-Enix for implementing Lore like guides for all my Mounts and Minions. I really enjoyed reading about the history of the various Mounts and Minions that I have collected so far, and now look forward to collecting them all even more.

I love how the Minion Guide has an image of what the Minion's footprints look like too. So cute!

I was wondering though, what does the Behaviour section mean? I think some of them said "Independent" and I can't remember what the others said. Are the Minions supposed to be more than just a gimmick? Regardless, I love all my Minions. XD

I LOVE THE MINION AND MOUNT GUIDES. I LOVE EVERYTHING LIKE THIS. <3

That is all.

Looking at the minions, 'Independent' seems to be the ones that wander around and 'Obedient' are the ones that stare at your butt, mostly.

that is my take on the matter as well.

Haha. What a positively politically correct way of putting it. XD

Hehe, I love how also if you hover your cursor over the mount or minion image when it's profile is open, a non-interacative-npc-style speech balloon appears with a comment from a random npc. The ones for the wind up sylph and Cait Sith Doll are especially interesting - the former because it's actually a reference to version 1.0 (the dialogue is from a 1.0 Path Companion), and the Cait Sith Doll's one is, fittingly, a piece of Cait Sith's dialogue from FFVII!

I'm certain Ferne and the lore/writing/translation teams had great fun writing this dialogue, as it shows. Thank you everyone! :D

Incidentally, the dialogue for the sylph minion makes me wonder... could this be a very subtle first hint that the Path Companions will be returning? I sure hope that's indeed the case and not just me looking at something that isn't there. :p

I knew our chocobos are all male (this was stated as such back in 1.0) but I didn't know they were gelded. Poor guy.

I totally didn't realise that.
Wow! Thanks so much. More Lore information to look at. Haha! XD

Stole the words right out of my mouth!

Thanks for the info Enkidoh!

I can just echo what others have said: I'm loving it and want to see more stuff like this in the future!

Guess that puts the kibosh on Chocobo Breeding then. =P

I spent so much time sitting there reading all the mouse-over quotes! <3 extra lore :-)

I'd like to add my voice as well to the loving of the new mount and minion guides! I had a blast reading through all those and had *no idea* about the mouseover speech bubbles! This is all so absolutely cool. I had intended to get as many mounts and minions as I could, and this only strengthens that desire.

I saw the Wind-Up Onion Knight today in Syrcus Tower, and lost my shit (I probably screamed because I was so excited), but I lost it with a roll of 52, to a roll of 90+ from someone else.

Oh well. Guess I'll keep trying. :D

I, too, love these guides! I'm hoping that they eventually add a checklist for those of us that like to collect them all.

I would weep salty tears of despair if that were the case.

A good friend of mine runs a website that'll do this for you for now - here's your character's checklist.
